Do you believe in Glabal Warming?

Question

I want to know your opinion and why!

Sorry I ment Global Warming

Answer 1

Glabal warming?
No.

Global warming?
Yes. It has been proven scientifically, it does not need me to believe or not believe in it, it is an observable phenomenon.

Answer 2

Yes I do believe it is real. Most scientist now believe it is a reality.

I live in the center of the United States. We have all four seasons of the year here and it is easy to see any changes it you look.

Over the last ten years, actually more but most notable in the last ten, there has been a climate shift. The winters are much milder, much, and the summers are hotter. What use to be very wet winters are now becoming mostly dry. This part of the country tends to be right in between the worse part of winter and the best. We use to get a little of both but no more.

While any given year has variances the trend is away from harsh winters and hotter summers.

I have been on this earth sense 1941 and most of that time in the center of this country. So I most defiantly see a big change and not for the good.

As a result I worry about what my grandchildrens children will have to endure. Why? Because in spite of all the warnings about climate change people are not going to change what they do. They have become accustom to having it good and are not going to give it up. There was a time when gasoline cost well below $1.00 a gal. And it was generally felt that if it ever exceeded a $1.00 use would decline. We now know that it makes little difference what that price is. We still keep buying those big vehicles and driving long distance to work.

And now other countries are following the same trend. All people want a better life and should have it. Problem is that better life takes more and more resources that are exhaustible and in using them we continue to pollute our earth at a phenomenal rate.

I fear I have seen the future and it is not pretty.

Answer 3

As of yet, there is no solid proff of global warming, much of the so-called scientific evidence is suspect. For example, most of the temperature measuring stations placed over the years are surrounded by large cities or other built up areas. It is known that built up areas absorb more solar heat as well as produce heat of their own and radiate more into the atmosphere, the measurements are adjusted but many believe the adjustments are not accurate. Someone mentioned glaciers melting, some are, others are growing so glacier evidence for global warming is less than worthless. The kilamamjaro glacier has been receding for years but kilamanjaro is an eqautoral mountain, higher temps are the norm, it is believed that the cutting down of the jungle has reduced the flow of moisture up the mountain causing the shrinkage of the glacier.
There are also two basic schools of thought on the environmental changes happening now, one is of cours global warming, the other is that the Earth may be at the very beginnings of the next ice age. The theory is that the warming trend causes some melting of the polar ice caps. As they melt, cracks between the huge blocks of ice open up and the blocks spread apart. The areas between these blocks soon freeze over again making the caps cover a larger area even though there may be significantly less ice. The larger area results in the reflection of more sunlight back into space which will eventually drop global temperatures resulting in further spreading of the ice caps and further reduction in temperature.
Either way, we are talking thousands of years before there will be any real impact on life on earth.
I recommend you read Michael Chricton's book, "State Of Fear." It deals with global warming. It is of course a novel, but he sites alot of the data being used to measure environmental changes and also lists the web sites where you can find and examine the data for yourself.

Answer 4

I am keeping an open mind, science is still a little iffy but there are lots of reasons t lean toward the global warming theory. I have seen with my own eyes that glaciers that were there from my childhood until recently have started to melt. There is proof that ocean temperatures have risen, and average temperatures in many locations are higher than in recorded history. I am also skeptical of government reports that change wordings to downplay reports for political reasons. The evidence is mounting but to this point there is not enough information to make a totally educated decision. One thing I do know global temperatures are not something that we as people should be fooling around with, we screw that up and there may be no going back.

Answer 5

I am worried that you use words such as "believe" and "opinion". There's no need for those, because there's no doubt at all that it is happening.
Only american studies have ever questioned it, and they have been sponsored by the oil companies.

Neither do I know how anyone can look forward to it? It will destroy much here in the north, even if it only gets a few degrees warmer. There's even theories that the Gulf Stream will stop flowing, which means that the nordic countries will be as inhabitable as Greenland is now.

I don't know what kind of reality americans live in... to even question the global warming...

Answer 6

No, I do not. The earth goes through a cycle ever billion years or so of heating then cooling. I do not believe that burning fossil fuels and creating too much toxins in the air have done anything to change the climate of the earth. I do believe in cutting down on the use of these things as they cant be good for us. But as for Global Warming I think it is a scare tactic by the liberals to have something go there way.

Answer 7

I like your new word. Global + Babble = Glabal. To answer your question, there is so much glabal (global babble), that we can't know yet about global warming. It might even be of the 'run away' variety and things get far worse much faster than estimated. However, some other event (nuclear winter) could counter a slow warming trend. Glabal might just set off WWIII, and make things a lot cooler.

Answer 8

Yes. Like never before there are campaigns against the emmission of industries and factories which have greatly influenced the weather around which they are situated. In 1995, more than 2,000 scientists from 100 countries reported to the United Nations that our burning of oil, coal and natural gas is changing the Earth's climate. Five years later, many of the same researchers are very troubled by two things: The climate is changing much more quickly than they projected even a few years ago; and the systems of the planet are far more sensitive to even a very small degree of warming than they had realized. Average U.S. temperatures, will rise by five to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (F) by the end of the 21st century.

Answer 9

I believe that the Earth's evolvement is cyclic. It is going to do what it was naturally created to do. The Earth destroys and rebuilds itself on a daily basis. I do not believe in the lefts political agenda behind global warming no. Don't worry about the spelling errors, people of little intelligence just like to be point out the obvious. Great question!

Answer 10

Yes I believe in science and the massive bulk of the scientific community says there is. The huge amounts of evidence says there is. The retreating glaciers and the lack of polar ice says there is. The rise in global temperature says there is. The corporate way of dealing with this issue says there is. They use the tactics the tobacco companies used to use buy a few bogus scientist put out as much propaganda as possible and delay the truth so they can keep raking in profits until ordered to clean up there act.

Answer 11

did not someone in basic terms ask the very similar difficulty a pair questions down? Oh nicely, i am going to provide you a similar answer I gave there: the very incontrovertible reality that temperatures are increasing can't be denied. The evidence is too good to dismiss. Now there are for sure nonetheless some those who question no matter if human beings are inflicting it, yet in view that there's a nicely advanced, internally consistent theory that predicts the outcomes we are gazing, and the "skeptics" have did not provide a valid type or theory wherein CO2 does not influence the temperature, and provided evidence of another organic forcing, I actual don't have any decision yet to settle for that it is not only actual yet, a minimum of partly, human led to.
