1. Is the Climate changing as a result of mankind's activities? 2.Does an increase of CO2 into the atmosphere cause a phenomenon known as global warming?
1. It is possible that climate can be affected in regions of industrial impacts and other activities such as logging, burning and farming. Smog definitely impacts weather in areas where inversions occur. Deforestation and farming on a large scale can lead to desertification, erosion and degradation of water supplies. Burning areas of forest, leaving arable land uncovered can lead to duststorms and brown cloud formations.
2. There is no direct evidence that an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will lead to runaway global warming effect. Attempts to fudge data to support graphs showing dramatic tropospheric temperature rise vs. carbon dioxide levels have been discredited by the scientific community.
