we know we are responsible for the future global warning hazards but we ...?

Question

still don't care. we are polluting the earth we know that we need to stop but we still do it. i heard in places like alaska and antartica and anywhere else there is ice and snow 365 days a year we know its all melting 3 times faster than it did in the 1970's. we know we are ruining the earth and from global warming scientists hypothesis is if we don't stop what we are doing we will have tsunami's in the US by 2050 and among other global warming effects. then why are we still not caring about our earth why are people not trying to clean up? do we really believe that global warming will actually happen if we continue doing what we are doing? is global warming really going to happen in less than 100 years, or is it just something scientists tell us to scare us? how come people aren't doing anything about it?we don't care right?

Answer 1

i just watched "Inconvenient Truth" today, many people just don't care, like the frog sitting in a pail of water over a flame...the temp rises so slowly that the frog ends up dying because he never noticed the slow change. I recycle religiously now, I only put 3000 miles on my vehicle last year...but I know it's meaningless unless everybody does it.

Just like the guy who answered 1st...he says there is no evidence, but the only evidence there ISN'T global warming is a few opinion columns and right wing TV and radio pundits...all the scientists are in agreement...people don't want to believe it and will do anything to make themselves believe "it ain't so"

Answer 2

I think many good scientists disagree with your premise. They believe the evidence shows that global warming has not been caused by anything humans have done. They believe humans and all they can do/have done combined is too insignificant to cause the earth to heat up even 1 degree. I agree with these scientists. It seems logical that global warming to the degree it can be measured being present today has also occurred thousands of years ago. For example there is good evidence that the island of Greenland was once all green because it had a much warmer climate. Doesn't that make sense to you? Why name it Greenland if in fact it was mostly white all the time?

Answer 3

Global warming and cooling down to ice age is a constant thing going on from always but we humans have induced it to faster rate by polluting, cutting down forests and host of other nonsustainable activities. This rise in temperature is going to help some areas but may be destructive for some. With increase in temperature and changes in climatic conditions we will have to face a lot of problems and the biggest sufferer will be the poor and animals.

If we donot take care now and go on with our way of living soon we all will or certainly most of living things are going to perish. Some of us who are able to shift to better land will be able to survive and may be we will have to start everything again from scratch since we will go back to may be iron age and like conditions.

Every contribution matters and so each and every person will have to come forward and do his bit. Live with principals of sustainability and save forests and environment and we will be able to enjoy the earth for some more time before nature does it naturally on its course.

Answer 4

Because it suits people not to believe. The majority of people, even when presented with the evidence, still prefer to believe that this is just a regular cyclic thing. It's just the same as with smoking, smokers prefer to believe that they aren't really killing themselves because someone told them they aren't at risk. Doesn't matter to either group that the vast majority of the evidence says they are going down.

See what I mean.

Anyway, I should live to see the island I live on, in San Francisco bay, under water.

Answer 5

Actually, we don't know that, although it is a popular notion in the public press. We do know that there is significant evidence that temperatures are increasing. This is not news; the earth's temperature has been changing throughout its history. We also know that CO2 levels are increasing. But we do not know that either of these is the cause of the other. The costs of global warming are future and indefinite, but the costs of trying to do something about it are substantial and now. We are talking about activities that will result in a substantial reduction of living standards -- that means that people will die. Is this worth it?

Answer 6

on the instant as i'm as much as my buttocks in snow (Bleep that Yahoo) I do question the international warming technique. yet maximum young toddlers play hockey on synthetic ice immediately no count number if it is indoors or exterior. The exterior rinks will proceed for yet another era or so and then some enterprising genius will locate the thank you to transform the domicile air conditioner compressor to an ice rink compressor and voila!! domicile Depot will make yet another killing.
