Antarctic Temperatures: 1958-2002

If global warming isn't really here then why all the fuss about it? ignorance is the answer. but before i explain the how and why i think a brief review on man made global warming theory is in order to explain what you are truly believing in.
The theory in and of itself has been around for some time and though originally based on greenhouse gas theory its evidence is a little bit less impressive. the original link to man made causes came about as a result of a study on historical tree rings. it found that at roughly the same time as the industrial revolution there was an increase in growth amongst a large number of the samples. Flaws for this theory come from its assumptions. there are several factors that go into an increased tree ring growth, rainfall nutrients and to a lesser degree temperature. their result should be questioned due to the variables within their sample. they were relying on specifically preserved tree rings from a variety of species with a variety of microclimates. their assumptions were also fundamentally wrong in regards to CO2 emissions during the industrial revolution almost everything was run on hydropower due to the inefficeincies in engines in addition because people were living closer together it required less fuel per person to heat their living spaces. the second shot in the arm came from climate models that decided based on man made inputs that they were more accurate when CO2 emissions were counted for. more accurate does not mean exact,before and after the target time frame the model has poor accuracy at best. the data for this model was eventually corrected by nasa finding that 1938 was the hottest year on record not 1998. im willing to bet carbon emmissions were not at a peak during the great depression. The final push came from al gore's presentation, political motives are probably important. even this was later found to be riddled with innacurracies as can be found by the list of 11 inaccuracies in the political presentation. so why is it that people continue to believe it's man's fault regardless of facts like the earth has been warmer before, or that global warming is affecting other planets even though man was not present at either location. Why do they continue to believe it is a massive threat to be dealt with even though surface air and water temperatures as well as deep ocean readings have found that if anything the temperature is dropping. the answers have nothing to do with the science it has to do with psychology. we believe in global warming because it soothes our personal fable that we ware more than an dust might on a giant rock hurtling through the universe. It is reinforced by our peers noone wants to stick out and it is further purpetrated by the authority figures around us. i myself stood out and argued with a professor on the subject refuting every argument he had with evidence, he finally resorted to asking the class if there was anyone else who didnt believe. noone raised their hand even though i knew 2-3 people who were very outspoking against man made global warming. we like to conform and most human beings dont look at any research relying solely on our peers for knowledge. thats why so many people believe it, and it has nothing to do with the evidence. why is there a group of people fighting this, because they are like me. they lose 25-30% of their paycheck to the government. If i am going to lose 25-30% of my 10.00$ per hour wage i dont want a dime of it spent on methods that are unproven and for a theory that is wholly unsubstantiated. i dont want to pay for a solution that might be effective for a problem that might exist. I also know that when human beings are whipped into a furvor they make stupid rules and policies. it happened during the crusades, in nazi germany, the middle east and now policy that has affected the price of food and gas. thats why people like me waste our time writing essays like this. For the record i have a bachelors in psychology and a background in chemical and biological engineering.
