Global warming: Can it be stopped or will we eventually destroy the earth ?

Answer 1

It can be stopped if we try, but the earth goes through natural cycles where it gets warmer and colder. The result of these are called ice ages, right now, it is warm, because we are between ice ages, but another ice age will come eventually (who knows how long, 10 000 years, or 10 000 000 years) and ice ages balance out the earth's warming problems and make it cooler. Nature takes care of itself. We before we destroy earth, the earth would destroy us, so we have nothing to worry about ; )

Answer 2

Earths temperatures rises and falls. It currently is rising.

Can we effect it - make it rise more or stop the rising? Unlikely we can have a significant impact either way. Maybe we cause a few degree increase here or there. But in the big picture this is a small amount. And there is sure no warming in my neighborhood!

As to the second part of your question about the destroying the earth - Yes we will. Once some of the more fanatical nations have nuclear bombs, they will have no reason not to use them. Once one goes off, others will follow and the earth will be destoyed.

The nuclear bomb scenario seems much more likely to destroy the earth than a few more SUVs on the road.

Answer 3

No. Astronomists are anticipating the solar will at last wipe out all existence on earth throughout the time of the possibility of substitute interior a megastar. All existence on earth would be incinerated over a undeniable volume of time. Warming won't destroy the Earth itself however....Astronomists are anticipating the Andromeda galaxy would collide with the Milky way and finally destroy Earth. "worldwide Warming" has these days grow to be a time era this is no longer literal. It refers back to the "Greenhouse effect" and can't destroy the earth in spite of the undeniable fact that there are variations that could and a few which will ensue because of the fact of it. After appearing a splash diagnosis these days, i think the greenhouse effect will substitute the ambience "particularly". the climate will substitute a splash and in some an prolonged time our polution ranges will start to decrease and nature will only save warming up. no longer something to maintain us there....i think of its organic.

Answer 4

If we stopped creating greenhouse gases, it would take 100 years for the momentum of the global heating to stop. We are already using 20% more energy than the Earth can afford to give. Say you have a bank account with $10000 in it. You deposit $1000 every month. You withdraw $1200 every month. How long can you afford to do this?
Now you also have the Second Law of Thermodynamics to contend with. Try and clean up the mess we made. It is impossible without causing more mess somewhere else. Example; You have a brand new deck of cards. All in order by suits and numbers. You throw the deck into the air and they scatter all over the floor. The amount of energy it takes to put them back in order is far larger than the energy it took to mess them up. We will produce more pollution cleaning the environment compared to the amount of pollution there already is. First 3 Laws of Thermodynamics - You can't win, you can't break even, you can't get out of the game.

Answer 5

Sorry Charlie, there just "ain't no such thing".
The mean temperature of this planet cycles around the freezing point of water. The key word here is 'cycles'.
The various gas mixtures change albedo which changes the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface. More albedo = less surface reaching radiation.
Less radiation at surface reduces 'greehouse' gasses which reduces albedo which allows more solar radiation through.

You _can_ call it a 'global thermostat' . That's what this system is.

Answer 6

It can be stopped. It will not destroy the Earth even if we don't stop it though. The changes it could cause may seem large for our way of life, but even the worst case predictions do not predict the destruction of all human life, just some economic disruptions due to flooding of coastal areas and changes in rainfall patterns forcing large numbers of people to move to other locations.

Answer 7

the answer is no...we cannot stop global warming from happening, because human activities have already been escalated widely, and lots of proportion of greenhouse gases have already been trapped in our atmosphere.....the only thing we can do is trying to minimize and slow down the impacts of it by trying to reduce gas emmissions through various strategies but it will always exist even when our death comes.....sea level have already been risen, eg. tokelau, estimated a 2m rise of sealevel, we have nothing to do to make it fall down again...only postponing it from worsening

Answer 8

it can be stop, but if it stop it will effect us on what we are doing, like cars and factories. yes it can effect the earth by global warming. but it wont effect the earth if you stop global warminig.

Answer 9

its overrated, the average temperature over the past century has increased by like 4 degrees

Answer 10

It will destroy the earth, but I don't care. Why you ask. Because it won't happen in my lifetime.
