How long do you think it will take for the world to become destroyed by global warming?

Question

I would just like to know what other people think about what we're doing to the world.

Answer 1

I would say we have at the most 100 years left before the eco system goes f@@k. The changes we are seeing now are caused by the pollution from years ago. But we have ALL had a dig at it. So we will all have to pay the price.

Answer 2

It's already being destroyed by global warming. The increased CO2 is bleaching the Great Coral Reef killing thousands of marine life because of higher pH levels in the ocean. Polar bears are slowly but surely dying off as less and less ice is available for them to float on. Skiing season is now later in the year because the climate is too warm for even artificial snow to be made on the ski slopes.

When will it be bad enough until humans can't live anywhere? A very very long time.

Ask not when the world will be destroyed. Ask how we can make the world a better place. Make the world, our home, a better place, and the world will help make our living livable.

Answer 3

Hello,

Given human beings insatiable demand for endless amounts of energy, & given that most energy produced is dirty energy ( energy produced from petro-chemicals & carbon based sources) i.e. coal, oil, gas, the burning of fossil fuels.

**Planet Earth IS a finite resources yet humans treat the world as if it was an unlimited resource. One which we can just carry on abusing, using, gobbling up, as if there were NEVER ever going to be a consiquence for our selfish behaviour, one for which there will never be a pay back time??

**The problem is that in reality even the scientist's themsleves are hughley divided regarding the time scales involved for huge catastrophic climate events to take effect. The kind of climate events that will definately threaten the entire human race.

**Nobody knows if this time scale is less than say 100years away or only 80years away or 200years away.

**What is now an accepted scientific FACT is that climate change caused by humans use of fossil fuels & pollution is proven.

**A group of climate scientists have been conducting research in to climate change for the last 30years. They have collected all their data from around the globe and feed this into a cray super computer (one of the most powerful computers). They showed recently on a TV documentary program the results of natural climate change without any human impact and yes! the earths climate would shift but not catastophically, yes! a warming was show but at tiny levels. Then they showed human imapct since the inductrial revolution (about roughly 150years), this shows an increasing warming trend.

Then finally the scientists took one figure from the other (deducted it) and it shows a curve of increasing warming due solely to human global activity. FACT!! global warming from human activity is PROVEN. No! Question!!

Ok, lets assume something, lets assume you're very young and dont know **** about ****, hence you beleive all the crap that the likes of greenpeace and friends of the earth spew out on a daily basis.

Forget what the tree huggers tell you - they just want you to do what they think you should do, global warming has never been proven by ANY scientific methods - at all, ever.

Governments would like to you to think that global warming is a imminent threat to all life on earth - once everyone has bought into that, they can get about the task of taking as much money as possible from all of us to pay for the really important things in this life like fighting wars in countries several thousand miles away, and paying for vast numbers of foreign nationals to come to the UK and sponge from our benefit system. Thing is, the tree huggers talk to you like you're the most important thing ever so that you'll spout shite about things you know nothing at all about but convince yourself that you know everything about everything because you're young and too ******* stupid to know any better - you are being manipulated into compliance (and i doubt you even understand what that means).

Such is life, later on when you're all growed up and cleverer you'll understand this - for now i'll pat you on the head and think 'ahhh bless' and laugh at you.

Have a nice day - and lots more - the planet will be here till long after you're gone.


VVV see he's another one - there there sonny, one day you'll meet a girl and you'll forget all about this crap.

Answer 5

I watched a programme on BBC2 a while back... and it was about... not GLOBAL WARNING but rather GLOBAL COOLING. Its something that comes hand in hand with the greenhouse effect.

Check out the cooling effect on the world, which is as dangerous to our planet as global warming is.

They say, if global warming and cooling isn't sorted TOGETHER in the next 5 years we'll all be under water breathing methane for air.

Answer 6

I am happy to say that my group is exceedingly close on technology for stripping CO2 from the air. The technology when scaled up will allow us to peel back the carbon dioxide debt in the atmosphere and reverse climate change. On the basis of this, I would say, hopefully, the "world" will not be destroyed by climate change because we look like having solved it. For the record, the process requires low energy.

Answer 7

FFS, WILL PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS SUBJECT PLEASE STOP SPEWING CRAP. Over and over again it is the same thing. People who have heard a small piece of the puzzle like 'climate change happened in the past so it is all ok'. Well of course it did, but usually it took hundreds of thousands of years to change as much as it has done in the last 200 years. Anyone who thinks increased global warming is nothing to worry about is an idiot. Plain and simple. Read a book, look at the figures, and hey if you don't want to, STOP GIVING WRONG ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS LIKE THIS. Alternatively if you insist on being so f***ing deluded, stop punishing ME for your ignorance.

We got 50 years tops til the process cannot be reversed. Hell I don't even care anymore, please yourselves. Whatever.

Answer 8

Whether its 50 years or 100 years or more doesn't matter much. I won't live another 50 years but those not yet born will. I suggested to my son that he not have children for this reason. From what I read, a world pandemic of Avian flu is coming first anyway. Mr coldvoice above is out to lunch on this one.

Answer 9

it depends on the definition of destroyed

maybe some nasty things weather wise in 50 or 100 years

in 5,000,000,000 years the sun will more or less explode
the Earth might suffer then

a species of mammal only usually lasts 2,500,000 years. Humans have been around like twice that already. I know its selfish but I don't have kids and its cold in NH at my land. Short term global warming could be nice for me.

Answer 10

Rest easy tonight Rachel, the Earth is not going to be destroyed by global warming.
