„Arguments“ of „Climate
Sceptics“
What would be your answers?
„Argument“ No. 1
The percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is only
0.038%. That's far too little to be responsible for
any climate change.
„Argument“ No. 2
The climate has changed so many times in the
Earth's history. Just think about the ice ages. All
this happened without any influence of human
beings. How can we now be responsible for it?
„Argument“ No. 3
Some scientists say the average global
temperature will rise by 1°C while others say by
up to 6°C. As they can't agree on this issue, their
computer models must be totally wrong.
„Argument“ No. 4
This summer was pretty cool compared to others
and we had lots of snow last winter. What
happened to global warming?
„Argument“ No. 5
Scientists say that temperatures will rise by only
some degrees. That's nothing. We would not
even notice the difference!
„Argument“ No. 6
Frankly, I would really like higher temperatures.
We would save a lot of money for heating and
we could enjoy summers like in Italy or Greece.
„Argument“ No. 7
The movie „The Day after Tomorrow“ also deals
with the greenhouse effect. But it is not getting
hotter, but much colder. What about global
warming?
„Argument“ No. 8
Possible effects of global climate change, like
the rising of the sea levels or desertification, do
not affect Austria. So why should we care?
