The movie "Inconvenient Truth" implicates that in 50 years, there will be no ice-caps.?

Question

we will have lots of land under water, and billions of refugees...
probably war...etc.
Who has kids and what do you think about this?

wow. i appreciate all of your answers. you're encouraging me to do more research. And to the person who posted the first reply: How do you know this? Where can I show people this evidence (of the government preparing for war in light of the environment)?

Answer 1

Even though the Bush administration says global warming doesn't exist, why is the pentagon preparing for the wars that will ensue?

Answer 2

i have read books which argue that the global warming is a sign of a coming iceage - that there will be more ice, not less

it seems on first look that higher temperatures means ice melting - but higher temps mean more evaporation, and the moister air is blown to areas that are still frozen, and freezes - so more ice, not less

global warming is a temp rise of a few degrees - so there will still be large areas colder than freezing - and the winds will blow the air around - so ... but it comes down to calculating quantities - and that is very hard and controversial with all the factors

so there is still a question mark

but it is true we are 600 years overdue for the return of the iceage - and global warming does happen at beginning of iceages

there is also the thought that someone might be getting everyone to think that seas are going to rise, making coastal land cheaper, and people will buy it up, and when the seas fall they will have more land and the price will go back up

there is also the thought that global warming is a votecatcher

even scientists can be corrupted with money, with threat of losing, or not getting, a good job, if they dont toe the party line

read 'population matters' and 'the end'

the latter, ims [if memory serves], has a theory that the iceage glaciers grind rock up, making nutrients available, which allows plants to grow, which makes the inter-galacial period [the between iceages], and when the nutrients are used up, back to ice age - so the book argues we can prevent iceage by spreading rockdust - and this has been tested and it brings back the trees

a much more likely danger to worry about is the triple iceage that will be caused by ww3 - blocking the sun permanently - everything dead, frozen

this can only be prevented by limiting fortunes to justice [US$2 million], and spreading the overfortunes around everyone in the world, so there is less violence generating escalating war

if we did this, everyone would be on US$15 an hour, including housewives

Answer 3

Despite it being a very unpopular view, especially here in the UK, I'm really not convinced. The story of doom and gloom sells better, and I actually used to be a believer in global warming, until I looked deeper into the evidence. The world is undoubtable warming up, but there are so many anolomies and misconceptions that frankly I have serious question if it's caused by humans, and not part of a cycle, and certinatly don't feel the effects are as serious as they're being made out to be.

Answer 4

I believe science will have the answer.

It will be up to governments/industry to implement solution.

50 years seems like too short a time for it to happen

Answer 5

I'm just like you would imagine I am and my email is my screenname here.

Answer 6

I'm beginning to believe it.
