how real is the threat of global warming?

Answer 1

it is an inconvenient truth, but very real. the effects will be seen in 20 years.

Answer 2

Rather than talk about the "threat" of global warming, you should be talking about the reality of global warming. It's already here. Of the ten warmest years in recorded history, seven have occurred since 1990. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are now higher than at any time in the last 22 million years, and they're still climbing exponentially.

Don't take my word for it. Take the word of hundreds of top scientists from around the world. The only people who deny the reality of global warming are the right-wingnuts of American politics.

Answer 3

global warming is no threat to the planet. the Earth has went through this change before. global warming and global cooling. right now we are going to the warm side but after that we will go to the cool side of things. this is a natural thing (we might have hastened it a little, not much tho). the only thing that is different is what we are here, and we think that what we live in now is normal. the Truth is that we have no idea what NORMAL is. we do not live long enough to experience a full cycle.

It means my winter ultilities bill will shrink. More money in my pocket! EXCELLENT! I hate snow and ice.

Is global warming real? Unknown. There's not enough historical data to say. After all, 30 years ago the big fear was global cooling. Scientists were suggesting covering the polar ice caps with carbon soot to melt the ice and save the world from freezing over.

Now they're saying just the opposite??? Obviously, the earth's great scientists have no clue WHAT is going on.

What makes someone think the entire planet is going into a warming period because they've had a few hot summers???????????????????????????? It's like people have lost their minds!

Answer 5

It's complete bull.
The world is always going through warmer and cooler phases. Right now it's getting warmer because it's actually cooler than it was a long time ago.
The reason the Vikings were able to get to Greenland so easily is that the world was warmer then and there was less ice.
The world might be warming up a little bit but it's not your fault and nothing bad will come of it.

Answer 6

Come on! Global warming isn't as bad as you think. In fact, this is natural. The earth cools down, then it warms up! Do you really think all of the ice will melt? Bah Humbug! Don't worry about it.
I am not saying "Pollute the earth all you want." Don't litter. Don't i burn harmful substances on purpose. Big a good person.

Answer 7

Despite what some may say..... Global Warming is a very real threat, but not something to "freak about."
With research, and quick action, we may be able to reduce the damage we will do, but it is unlikely we can reverse what has already been done.

Answer 8

very real. Everytime we turn on a car, or any thing that has smoke mostly were speednig up the Green house effect witch will make the Ice Caps melt and with out them were doomed. When that happins thares 2 things thqat might happen:


A. Next Ice Age

B. Well fri to a crisp


So basicly, its as real as apple pie!

Answer 9

Very real no matter how much the current administration denies it. We have tons of scientific evidence that we have 10 years to save the planet. See the movie An Inconvenient Truth for more information.

Answer 10

they say that sea levels will rise 22 feet flooding new York city and covering New Orleans, if this is true I say Come On Global Warming!
