Can someone please give me concrete info on Global Warming?

Question

I believe that the earth in a cycle and that creates the warming or even the cooling of the earth.Remember the ice age.....Just want some educated opinions, not any smart remarks.TY.

Answer 1

No. there is a lot of scientific information and lot of it is "contradictory". The incredibly complex interactions between ALL the earths systems (hydrologic, atmospheric, climatic, geologic, biologic) are affected by and CAUSE changes to the overall weather patterns.

For example, man's activities do produce a lot of greenhouse gases, but a volcano such as Krakatoa or Mt Pinatubo far outpaces that volume. So which causes the change?

Does a change over 100 years constitute an unnatural event or is it just the earth returning to it's "normal" temperature line?

Read everything and question everything. If a politician is telling you his theory, then DOUBT it even more and question his motives. If a scientist or group is telling you EVERY SCIENTIST believes a theory, then DOUBT it even more and question their motives.

Don't fall for the bait-and-switch techniques of some pseudo-scientific groups which will toss out some politically charged catch phrase to distract you, such as "big oil" or "government plan". Dig deeper and formulate your own opinion.

Remember that just because we can measure temperatures more precisely than we could 200 years ago, doesn't mean that 0.1 degrees is really that important.

Answer 2

Global warmingis mstly du to the ¨winter-quarter¨effect, produced by the acumulation of great amounts of carbon dioxide(CO2), among other gases, in the atmosphere, creating a gas layer that allows the sun light and the heat to enter but not to dissipate after outo de superior strates, as normally had ocurred over millions of years, since the arrival of the plants, organisms able to take de carbon dioxide generated by animals and other organisms and convert it into a natural energy source called ATP and oxigen as a residue, wich is used to generate the ATP in the ¨animal¨microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This has been a simbiotic essential relationship since the beginning of life on earth. The 18th century braught a change with the industrial revolution, generating in 300 years the same amount of CO2 that has been generatd for hundreds of millions. Added to this, the indiscriminate tree fall all over the world, specially t jungle and rain forests next to the Amazon river, called the ¨lung¨ of the world, turned the acumulation of CO2 in great amounts in the atmosphere a dangerous and present reality. As a result of this, de heat that comes from the sun rays that reach the suface of the earth, sort of gets trapped between the surface anthe CO" layer, slowly elevating de global temperature .

Answer 3

It's happening, but it's not new a few thousand years ago we had ice ages and before that at times the earths being flooded and other times arid.

The only difference this time it's man made but in a billion years time when mans gone the earth will carry on. you see it's just a blip on the universal scale.

Every now and then the earth tips on it's axis putting the poles closer to the sun

Point is we have climate change naturally it's just mans superiority complex that can't see this has being happening for millions and billions of years

Every few hundred thousand years the climate changes man developed in one of these climate lulls but every few million years the whole climate and oxygen content changes you see the earth won't stop just because an intelligent species evolved

Answer 4

the gases in the atmosphere should block some of the heat rays. But now because of cars an that, its creating a hole in the layer of gasses. thus heating up the earth.

It also cools because the heat is melting all ice at the north and south pole. The amount of water melted changes the direction of the warm flow of water.

Answer 5

Guy above me took the words out of my mouth. Read articles and journals for yourself, but be wary of the source.

Also, I have to get this off my chest:

"the gases in the atmosphere should block some of the heat rays. But now because of cars an that, its creating a hole in the layer of gasses. thus heating up the earth."

Please, please, please, please STOP confusing the hole in the ozone layer and global warming!!!! They are not related and have no cause and effect relationship! Don't make ignorant comments like this, it's what environmentalists want. If the public thinks the ozone hole and global warming are related, they will think that we caused it, and that it can be fixed. The reality is we didn't cause global warming and nothing needs to be done to 'fix' it.

Answer 6

There is a great thing made out of all the fuels that we all are burning,you also have over 6,000,000,000 people breathing and the co2 has raised over 30% wrong. Grant it is a great load but measure the co2 and what did u get?? where did it all go?? all our nice green plants have adsorbed all of it.When u measure it u will find 1 to 2 parts per million. if the co2 is not there there is no global warming. It is political and they want to cripple this country,check it out.

Answer 7

Yeah, but if you saw An Inconveinent Truth, it shows many times how it's getting beyond natural heating and cooling of the earth. There are diminishing natural resources due to overpopulation and the rate of melting glaciers is faster than ever before.

Answer 8

Obviously, the rapid increase in Earth's temperature is due to
the rise in volcanic activity. Along with the already greenhouse effect of pollution trapping gases. And compounded by raging fires worldwide.

Answer 9

You can find some very interesting facts on the website of

Answer 10

I think the same as you do, the only thing that I might agree on is deforestation.
