Are Global warming, warm ocean currents, abnormal weather patterns, and volcanic activity related?

Answer 1

Yes they are, because all these are phenomena in which energy is transferred between different sources. Our planet receives energy from the Sun (as differente types of waves, including ultraviolet, visible and infrared=heat), and emits radiation back to space. In addition, there's a hot metal core that also releases energy.
The movement of masses of air (winds systems), water (oceanic currents), very hot solids (volcanic activity) are the mechanisms to reestablish the energy balance, because they basically distribute energy from high-energy spots to lower-energy spots.
When one of these phenomena is disrupted, others become unbalanced and unpredictable effects follow.

The issue whether global changes are caused by man or not is a different issue; the answer to your question is Yes.

Answer 2

I don't think we can blame global warming on human activity. It appears to be a cyclical process that has gone on as long as the earth has existed.

There are relationships between global warming (or cooling) and ocean currents and volcanic activity. As far as abnormal weather is concerned, weather has always tended to be a bit abnormal. High volcanic activity results in cooling. Higher temperatures affect ocean currents.

It is interesting to note that we live in a very unstable and dynamic world, and unstable chemistry and physics are probably part of the reasons the earth sustains life.

Our nearest neighbor--the moon--is very stable. But it can't sustain life.

A few hundred years ago we went through a very cold period that resulted in famine, disease, social instability and probably triggered a couple of revolutions. Now we are going through a warm period.

Humans adapted and we will continue to adapt.

Over the last 5 years the amount of ice that Greenlands ice sheets have dumped in the water has doubled due to so called global warming.
Humans burn fossil fuels which release increased levels of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere-the theory-"greenhouse gases"- causing the atmosphere to heat up says scientists.
But think, without it there would be no green plants, that is because, plants take in carbon dioxide, along with water, and a bit of sunshine to produce oxygen, the essential part of keeping all living things alive.

Some Japanese scientists have gone back in time and drilled more then 3 kilometers into Antarctica’s ice sheets. The cores they extracted were among the oldest samples yet extracted by scientists and hoped that bubbles of gas such as carbon dioxide trapped in the core samples could offer clues to past patterns of Global climate change.

Sir David King, scientific advisor to the British Government believes that Global warming has caused sea levels to rise. But in reality, sea levels aren’t rising. Australia’s national tidal facility has over the last decade, installed tide gauges across the pacific. Based on the short term sea level rise analysis, the data collected shows a sea level rise of 0.0 mm rise each year. Results prove that there was no change in average sea level over the period of record.

governments are spending money on a problem that doesn't even exist, money that could be used in umpteen better ways. ..
hospitals, health, natural disasters, preserving and protecting endangerd flora and fauna...

hope that helped. (i had to research global warming for a school project.)

Is Al Gore going to tax the Bermuda Triangle too? I was joking, but the reason ships disappear is thought to be large bubble of methane burped up from seismic activity on the ocean floor in that area. What happens is all the methane bubbles "ruin" the water's ability to float objects and ships simply slip into the water without warning. It's suggested some of these eruptions go high enough to knock airplanes out of the sky. And since methane is supposedly a "greenhouse gas" maybe Al Gore will try to have people who survive the Bermuda Triangle pay a "carbon offset tax" so he can buy another Lear Jet or bigger house.

Answer 5

the oil industry has killed the planet. we all know about global warming. what we don't know is the truth. the truth is the planet and its habitable environment relies on the crude oil in the ground.just as motor oil in your car engine keeps it cool and lubricated is the same way it acts in the planet. the crude oil acted like a cushion in between plates and an insulator. it kept the heat from rising to the surface the way it does now. I'm sure green house gasses add to it. every time you open a heated house and the heat escapes where does it go? does it cool off or does it raise? what effects of all this heating doing on the planet. it all must add. watch the trailer to a inconvenient truth

Answer 6

Certainly. They all happen on planet earth....

Answer 7

No
