Does the global heat warming catch peoples attention as a concern?

Question

The global heat warming will probaly make the summers longer and the winters shorter, so is this fact considered as a concern or is it considered as something that's not so seriuos?

Answer 1

The fact of global warming is very real and indeed a threat to civilization as we know it. With the rise of the oceans as the polar ice melts we will see entire countries go underwater. We will see the state of Florida disappear (no loss there) as will most of the state of Louisiana and half of Texas (no loss there either). The country of Bangladesh will be 80% underwater. Micronesia will disappear. The Great Barrier Reef will be so far underwater that the corals will die -- no more reef.

The predictions are that sea level will rise between 150 and 300 feet just from the melting of the polar ice. This does not take into account the absorption of heat by the oceans which will expand them even farther to as much as 500 feet above current levels. Ocean front property in Arizona, USA anyone? Ever hear of Death Valley, CA How about the new Sea of Death Valley.
Or the San Joaquin Valley, CA Sea. The loss of corp lands will be in the hunderds of millions of acres. The super storms that will result from global warming will dwarf anything ever seen by mankind short of the flood of the Bible.

SHOW it to as many friends as possible.
CONTACT your represtatives
DEMAND action to reduce CO2 pollution.
DO an assessment of your own CO2 pollution
REDUCE you own CO2 pollution.
ACT NOW while we can.

Answer 2

Global warming is a nonsense. It just does not stack up.

Some environmentalists and a hand full of scientists keep pushing it. The majority of scientists point to "Climate Change" which is nothing to do with global warming.

Everything that is happening is explained by climate change. The weather is largely the same but has shifted round a bit. The same amount of rain is falling just somewhere different therefore there are floods in some places and droughts in others.

The melting ice sheets have been shown to have been caused by a shift in the wind pattern which caused warm air to flow over it. The same wind shift pushed the colder air away and this caused a drop in temperature in other areas.

Whilst the furore has been use full in making people more energy conscious and aware of the need for alternate energy supplies there is a real danger if we listen to the people who peddle the myth - What happens if they force the world to fix something that ain't broke???

What the world really does need is open minds and honest debate and unfortunately the pedlers of GW appear to be firmly against both!!!

Answer 3

Some people pay attention to that. Most don't, unfortunately. Until they see the movie The Day After Tomorrow or a hurricane destroys their city, they won't care a thing about global warming until it hits them in the face.

Answer 4

Not serious. The earth has gone through far more extreme temperature changes in its history. Besides, I think the global warming zealots are just afraid of Canada having a long agricultural season.

Answer 5

No, because it's not perceived as being a serious threat to our way of life. Only when the polar ice caps have melted (not as a result of "nature', but as a result of man's interference with nature over the past 150 years of the Industrial Revolution), will we realize the damage we've done.....and then it will be too late to change anything. Cities along both coasts of both major oceans will be decimated, flooded, and subjected to severe weather disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and sever heat waves. But we'll have no one to blame but ourselves. -RKO-
