There's always one in the bunch, isn't there? Tell us those who know more about this than us everday illiterates!

Answer 1

Well, in 1974 we were on the verge of the next ice age. How soon would it happen, maybe the next year. How long would it take, it could happen almost overnight. It would simply snow and not melt.

Then in the 80's it was the ozone hole. Until the volcano in the Philippines blew a hole in the ozone, and the idea of man made ozone destruction.

In the 90's the ice age threat was over and it was global warming. Sea levels would rise swamp out New York. Then they figured out if you fill up a glass with ice and water and the ice melts the cup doesn't run over. Hmmm.

Now its global climate change. Getting warmer will make it colder, well maybe, melt the ice cap and cause an ice age. Sure.

When they get the 3 day forecast exactly correct 100% of the time, I'll pay attention to the 10 day forecast. Then maybe the annual Hurricane forecast, which is way off this year, by the way. Once they can get the easy stuff right. I'll pay attention to the 100 year temperature forecast.

Answer 2

Global warming is real but not as extreme as some may think. We are going through a warming period and we are also in the middle of a magnetic polar switch. So there is many things going wrong with this planet. Plus we are sucking it from the inside out.

Answer 3

Well, you know what one of the greatest scientists of all time basically said, Don't you?

For every action there's got to be an equal and opposite reaction somewhere!! [Sir Isaac Newton, I believe]

So, it could be that while we're all concentrating on the loss of ozone layer in the south and other places, perhaps, over Russia, and surrounding territory is where the gases, lost elsewhere, have ll now gone!!

Answer 4

The global warming will result in global cooling (ice age). The global warming will melt glaciers and ice caps causing the oceans density to change and therefore changing currents, which control temperatures in certain regions (ex. the mild climate of Britain which is north of us). Obviously, the weather will change drastically at this point as well.

Answer 5

How about "the same ol' same ol' "!! It seems the same here as it has over 50 years ago. Only the chickens running around yelling, "The sky is falling!! The sky is falling!!" have become more than the nursery rhyme I was read back as a toddler. They've become real. And just as chicken and just as hysterical and just as ignorant as the chicken in the nursery rhyme. God Bless you.

Answer 6

i don't think the science is sound. just look at the weather of 2006 not one hurricane so far and the global sea temp is two to three degrees cooler than expected.
