Is gobal warming affecting the earth as we are being led to believe through the mainstream media?

Question

Is global warming really melting the icecaps as we are being led to believe? are polar bears drowning, sea rising ect, are we all doomed?

Answer 1

Yes the global warming is melting the icecaps, but doomed hah !!not.

See what makes me feel sad is that nobody is giving a damn, the rich companies , the factories, the world controllers are just thinking about money and money and money nothing matters they just think about gaining money and authority, destroying the world and the nature is great as long as this makes them earn money & authority, and when they think in themselves they say: " what the hell, i'm gonna live for just more ten years, i'm not gonna be there when the young generations are facing the consequences of what i did"

Answer 2

yes it is, very much so. Most people are completly oblivious.

It is had to believe, I know, it is easy to live our lives and look out on a sunny day and think that we are screwing our enviroment.

Global warming has been an issue sense the 1970's .. When the Montreal Protocal was written. It was an international aggrement to ban CFC's ( Chlorofloro Carbonates) which have been used sense the 1930 in air conditioners, aerosols and much more.

the two gases that are major contributors to global warming are CO2 and Methane

they act as a blanket keeping warmth in our atmosphere. Without them it would be -200 degrees at night..

Though sense the onset of the industrial age, temperatures have increased as increase in gasses too. CO2 has doubled

Global warming results: More sever weather, long periods of draught and floods/ precipitation

It is dangerous for ecosystems as it may change local enviroments for inhabitant species. Which can also introduce pest species.

Yes the polar ice caps are melting.

You have to realize that everything is connected......it will effect our economy as natural ecosystems fail.. which are valued at $40 trillion dollars .......

species of all sort are at risk.... it's a bigger deal then we like to think..... take an enviromental biology class or read up on it... it's a real issue

Answer 3

Fact: The climate is changing and the earth is warming.
Fact: Greenland ice sheet is accelerating it's melting.
Fact: Arctic and Antarctic regions warming faster than the rest of the earth.
Fact: Large regions of permafrost in Siberia and North America are no longer frozen year round.
Fact: There is more CO2 in the atmosphere right now than at any time in the last 800,000 years.
Fact: The earth's climate has changed many times in the past, both hotter and cooler.

What can't be conclusively proven is that human activity is behind it. There's a pretty big smoking gun saying so, but it's hard to demonstrate a direct link.

My (somewhat) educated guess: Yes.

Answer 4

Global warming is taking place but is not for the reasons being given by our friend Al...This is something that happens on a cyclic scale and has occured several times in the past..As one scientist stated, "We are still coming out of the last mini ice age". Add to that; a shift in the poles by about 5 degrees (after the earthquake that produced the tsunamies). Makes quite a difference in the weather patterns.

Answer 5

Yes, and I'm disappointed that it's not covered or talked about as much as it should. It is a huge problem and is getting progressively worse. Population is exploding and the use of fossil fuels are climbing, which accelerates global warming at a faster rate than 20 years ago.

It's an issue that deserves more attention. People need to be educated on global warming.

Answer 6

Global warming is taking place how much is a natural phenomena I am not sure but no doubt our activities are contributing to the effect. We do in fact need to burn fossil fuels we get enough energy from the sun to supply the worlds needs many times over all it needs is money spent to develop the systems to exploit it. I think this is an area that the united nations should be involved in promoting

Answer 7

Who knows? We have only been collecting weather data for 100 years or so. Not long at all considering the age of the earth. Hardly long enough to predict the earth’s weather cycles. I remember reading a piece that said the worlds scientists at the time said the dust bowl in the 1930’s would bring a new ice age.

Answer 8

life goes on so even with melted polar icecaps i dont see how itd be much of a problem for us....sure certian animals would become extict etc but nature always finds a way....humans have made animals extict for several years nw lol also it could be contributed to by an effect called polar reversal where north and south pole switch places (bout every 100-200 thousand yrs i think) and going by geological maps etc we are long overdue this effect this may jst be a part of it, who knows....we talk of christ etc and that happened say 2000 yrs ago....were talking hundreds of thousands of yrs so we really dont know much bout wht goes on and the effects

Answer 9

This is the one issue where the UK mainstream media tells it like it is. Everything you see, hear and read is true. It wouldn't make sense to lie about it, as everyone on the planet has everything to lose and nothing to gain from global warming.

Answer 10

I learnt at school many years ago, about 45, that the earth has a tilt. As it rotatates about its axis it takes 7 years to go from center to left, 7 years to get back to center, 7 years to go center to right & 7 years to go back to center. Therefore we have a 28 year cycle therefore we are going to experiance extremes of one type or another at both ends of the cycles. If you check back on weather records I would not be suprised to see that these extremes coincide with the cycles.
