is global warming effects revirsable?

Answer 1

Possible but not probable given mankind's ignorance on the whole of it.
Regardless, we should still try and live correctly anyway.

Answer 2

The hole in the ozone layer is reversible, yes, the gases which make up the ozone do replenish, but we need to reduce our green house gases for this to happen. It is a big problem at the moment especially for Australia, they already have water restrictions and fire bans, which is really scary as it is only October. This does not mean that they are the sole ones responsible for the hole.

But if we do not do something about the hole soon, we could be seeing drastic events take place. As the earth heats up the polar regions also heat up causing ice to melt and floods happen, this resulting in not only peoples houses being destroyed but the weather being unstable, therefore we are unable to grow crops, people starving and so on. It is really scary, the hole is bigger this year, yes but they do predict that it will reduce in size over the next couple of years.

Answer 3

At present, YES. Global warming can be halted and possible reversed. However on a more practical note our daily lives involve energy consumption which in the case of fossil fuels like petrol for cars, jet fuel for aeroplane, coal, gas, electricity e.t.c. release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. CO2 and other green house gases trap heat from the sun and increase the earth's temperature so we have global warming. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere continues to increase and may soon reach a critical point of no return.

Answer 4

Yes we need more pollution not less, more particulates in the atmosphere block the sun out, reducing warming. There was interesting programme on bbc highlighting that cleaner air could actually exacerbate global warming in the short term. CO2 reduction needs to be done in hand with particulates.

Answer 5

Global warming, as we know it, is caused by Ozone layer depletion as well as increasingly greater amounts of heat trapped by CO2.

research results thus far are not very conclusive as far as the ozone layer goes

However, predominant belief is that a reduction in Greenhouse gases, eg CO2, Refron, etc should cause conditions conducive to Ozone layer re-creation/ self repairing itself. Mother Nature has it's own ways of counteracting human interference, has great resilience.


I, therefore, believe that activities causing reduction in CO2 and other green house gases in the atmosphere would result in
1. the Ozone layer repairing itself
2. reduction in CO2 levels will result in lower heat trapped

Thus, we can conclude that Global warming and it's effects are definitely reversible

Answer 6

let's put it in other words:
can we reverse the processes that caused global warming?
the answer is yes, if we allow trees and forests to grow and thrive, and emit less CO2 in the atmosphere, and so on ...

Answer 7

No, if we keep messing up our planets at this rate, we'll be screwed in about 60 years. By then it will be too late and humanity will be doomed. Thats y we have to do something about it.

Answer 8

Yes,if all country's around the world would cooperate with one another.

Answer 9

At the moment No! But in the future we might be able to solve it with our new found technology.

If it isn't too late.....

Answer 10

It may be a ploy by the powers that be to rule by fear. If you have a gin n tonic the ice floats in it ,when the ice melts your glass dosn't overflow, not that it's ever been any drink left in mine before the ice melts any way.
