Is global warming made up?

Answer 1

In 1966 I was twenty-one and we had a heatwave in March and a flurry of snow in June, here in the UK... I recall it well, I was heavily pregnant with my third, of six children. I got bitten all over by red ants when I sat on an ant hill at Easter in my front garden, they got inside my clothes... and I was hopping about in a panic... because they hurt...

And then, in June I was really glad to cool down when it suddenly got cold and snowed, being in my ninth month and only a couple of weeks aways from birthing, it was quite nice:-)

My childhood winters were always deep snow, with serious frosts everywhere, and as for my summers, they were endless sunny days with very occasional showers, but always, I remember the summer holidays from school as very long and dry and messsing about in woods and corn fields, collecting rose hips to take to school to be weighed and sent off for rose hip syrup... and I played daily along the banks of the canal and river... never once wearing a coat.

We have always had odd occurances, with unseasonal spates of weather, just like those I've mentioned, just like this unusually long summer. Nothing ever really changes that much, except the way that people need to reinvent everyhting, like fashionable new ways of scaring everyone, especially designed for bleeding the poorer community, by introducing stealth taxes. We stopped them with the poll tax en masse! But they never stop trying it on with the masses, never the wealthy!

Yes of course the planet is changing, it always has, and always will... because it is slowly dying as we all are, from the moment we were born.

And yes, we are undergoing changes in the polar regions... yes we are partly responsible with our behaviour and creations and habits, because we are greedy, because we must use everything at once, and want to own everything at once. And yes, we could be less self absorbed and more conscious of using less of the worlds resources. Resources that have taken millions of years to be laid down by mother nature, to form the very building blocks of the planet we take so much for granted.

But hey... aint it a miracle at all, that we have such a beautiful planet to share... and such wonderful scenery to look upon... so colourful and vibrant, so tranquil and so volatile, with such diversity? And aint it a miracle as well, that it all happens right on top, of a ball of fire?

Perhaps we should learn to live with nature and not against her... respect our planet earth... stop raping her and abusing her... utilise the areas we know are safer... inhabit those, and respect the ones we know are not, by helping those who have no choice or means to survive them, to relocate and share our good fortune?

And perhaps we should try harder to remember, that once this world was mainly forest, forest that created our atmosphere and gave us life... and that now, we've all but turned it into a giant concrete block of runways, roads and flight paths and ripped apart her natural defences... her natural air purifiers.

We can surely do a bit about that between us all and stop buying from the giant companies who rape our world!

If taxing people is seriously to work, that's where it should be aimed... at the very heart of big business, the top end of things, to force them to be more ecologically minded in their mass production! And then grade the taxes, on a lessening scale right down the pathway of production, to the shops and the customer as well, but with the heavy duty end of burden with those who stand to gain the most... who live the high life, and do the dirtiest deed of all, rape against our mother earth;-)

Answer 2

Yes and no. Global warming (and cooling) is a natural process that occurs in cycles, and we're currently in a warming one. Yes, humans exacerbate the problem, but don't cause it, and realistically only speed it up by maybe a century or two (which is nothing on a geological timescale). I think it wiser to learn to adapt to the new environment than try to prevent the change. We could certainly slow the change, but not stop it. So yes, global warming exists, but no, it isn't a sole function of human activity.

Answer 3

Global warming is real. It has been for the last 20,000 years, ever since the last ice age. The thing is, it wasn't caused by humans back then, and it isn't now. The cause is water in the atmosphere. CO2 is only responsible for under 1% of global warming.

Answer 4

Global warming is real! The Earh is slowly tearing apart. But my teacher says that it won't happen in a long time. The greenhouses are causing all this mess.

Answer 5

lmao. are we still stuck on the issue whether or not global warming is made up?
stop living under a rock. we're past the point where we should think its made up.
it still amazes me just how many retards live around us who are in a constant state of denial. no its not in god's hands, its in our hands
if ur going to burn billions of tonnes of fossil fuels each year, do u honestly not think that there is going to be some kind of effect on the environment?

wake up dumbass. if ur too stupid to understand this, do the world a favor and off urself right now.

Answer 6

No, it is not made up. Global warming is real, and the scientific community has proved it. If you do scientific research, not ideological text or Michael Crichton babbling, you will find that it is certainly real and mostly caused by human activity.

Answer 7

no, the world is warming up, but only because we are just coming out of an ice age. It will continue to warm ,but not at the rate we are being told. And then it will start to cool again, but the taxes wont go down. I would really like to know why we are being given this load of tosh, and why it is only the UK that seem to be in the firing line.

Answer 8

It isn't made up but overly exaggerated. It would take a few thousand years(estimate) for the things they're talking about to take effect. Plus its the earths natural cycle of heating up and cooling down, a very little fraction of it is our fault and even if we stopped using all those things that supposedly cause it the earth would still be heating up because it's a natural cycle.

Answer 9

Yes. Read "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton. You can google him, first, if you think he's not the real deal.

Global warming is a money-maker. A scam on a global scale that costs YOU, personally, money every day.

Answer 10

Hi >
In my book, a lot of it is down to history.
The planet we live on goes through cycles.
Some are 7-10 years duration, and some are 150 - 250 years.
The Sargasso sea, for example, creates itself a massive wealth of plant life, and is now huge, sucking up CO2, and prodicing oxygen. Fine, things re-balance.

Answer 11

Definitely not. How can you explain the ice caps melting at such a rapid rate and polar bears losing their homes? It baffles me when I see people say they think it's made up. I know the earth goes through cycles but some of what is happening now is not natural.
