I hear a lot of people talking about global warming or climate change as it is now called and I wondered if these people really knew anything about climate so I came up with a simple quiz. The idea is to see if I am talking with a person with a brain or someone with just a mouth.
(1) What causes the wind to blow?
(2) Why is the prevailing wind in the USA out of the West?
(3) How high do you have to go to get beyond 50% of the Earth's atmosphere?
(4) What percentage of the atmosphere is water vapor?
(5) What is the most common gas in the atmosphere?
(6) What is Ozone?
(7) What caused the great glaciers in North America to form?
(8) What caused the great glaciers to melt?
(9) Is there more or less water on Earth today than 10 million years ago?
(10) What caused Mars to loose its atmosphere?
(11) Is the Earth's atmosphere getting denser of less dense?
(12) Why are there no giant Redwood trees in Nevada?
(14) If the northern ice cap melts, how much will the oceans rise?
(15) Where did the Oxygen in the atmosphere come from?
This is just my first list of 15 questions. I could come up with more, but if you don't know the correct answers to at least 10 of these simple questions, it would be unfair for me to debate with you on global warming.
PS--It is a fact that the more energy one uses, the higher their quality of life. Check it out and get your own facts. The answer is always the same. Given the above fact, when Obama lets 5 or 10 million illegals come into the USA, they go from a low quality of life situation to a higher quality of life. Agree with that? In the process they use more energy than they would have had they stayed home. That is a fact too. Any efforts to raise the quality of life for many of the poor people around the world means an increase in energy use by those people and thus more global warming. You may think that is the correct thing to do to improve the quality of life for more people, but at the same time you cause them to use more energy and thus contribute to global warming. Sorry, but you can not have it both ways! The only logical way to prevent global warming is to reduce the total number of people in the world and to hold down the population. In the end there is no other way unless you want most of the world living under a very low quality of life and thus low use of energy.
