Debunking The Myth Of Global Warming

ained without the natural greenhouse effect ("Global Warming Potentials" 1). It is especially ironic that, back then, industry was blamed for the coming ice age: "The continued rapid cooling of the earth since World War II is also in accord with the increased global air pollution associated with industrialization." (McCarthy 5). Twenty-five years later it is industry that is getting the blame again; this time for global warming.
A critical piece of information that is virtually always ignored by those reporting on global warming and those professing to be experts on the issue, is that water vapor is responsible for the vast majority of all greenhouse warming in the atmosphere. Most scientists agree that it is about 98%, maybe more; but the EPA's own figure is 94% ("Global Warming Potentials" 1). No one can dispute with great success about the greenhouse theory. However, if water is 98% of it and scientists know they cannot control it, how much effect can the other gasses possibly have? Add to the fact that the heat content of water in its gaseous state is far greater than the heat content of CO2 in its gaseous state, and scientists really have to wonder how much impact the non-water vapor gasses can have ("Global Warming Potentials" 1). It is clear the impact of the gasses that can be controlled is minuscule, and this alone should dispose of the global warming myth.
Of all the other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere (mostly CO2 and CH4), the vast majority is non-anthropogenic, or not produced by humans. How much of the total is really caused by humankind (ignoring human CO2 exhaust (i.e. from breathing))? It is only a fraction of a percent, around 0.2. Assume that all the people of the world stop all Manmade CO2 emissions. How much impact could that possibly have on the atmosphere, when the reduction is only 0.2% of the total? That amount is within the error range of the instruments used to measu...
