How long do you think will the earth still exist, because of global warming progressing so drastically?

Answer 1

yes, i'm worried about it also, but probably not in our lifetime. Maybe 5 generations from now, there could be massive changes in the earth. I mean, even more massive than there is now. It's really sad......

Answer 2

Global warming won't hurt the earth one bit. Now we might die, but the Earth will be perfectly fine.

But to answer the part about how long it will exist. It depends on what happens with the sun. In about 5 billions years or so it will begin to die. Because of the type of star we have as the sun begins to die it will expand into a red giant. Some people say that the expansion will engulf the earth, some say that the earth will be pushed back out of the way. If the later happens all the water will be boiled off but the planet will remain. After several more years the red giant will become a white dwarf and the earth will just be a dark rock floating forever in space.

Unless we get hit by some big comet or meteor before all this.

Answer 3

Try not to worry too much Kelly. Global warming and global cooling take place in cycles so the warming will eventually stop. It is likely that the extra greenhouse gasses are or will contribute a bit but the warming is mostly to do with natural solar cycles. Hannibal was able to cross the alps into Italy because of a global warming period that started about 250 BC, The Romans were pushed out of Europe about 100 AD after the Danube froze over at the beginning of a cooling event that lasted another 300 to 350 years. The Earth warmed and cooled again in the next 700 years. By the 16th century cooling had started again, crop failures in the meantime led to the French Revolution. This cooling stopped about 150 years ago and the most recent global warming began. These events cause social and political disruption, we need to focus our energies to limiting these effects. The natural world has survived these changes for millennia, We need to minimise human misery.

Answer 4

What global warming? Forty years ago, the leading scientists were predicting that most of the Earth's population would be under water because of global warming by the year 2000. It was then and it is now a big lie. Where is the real science that proves conclusively, beyond a shadow of doubt, that global warming, as proposed by liberals, even exists. Joseph Stalin was correct when he said that "if you tell a lie enough, people will begin to believe it." The tragedy here, isn't that people are lying to you, it's that you are beginning to believe (or perhaps already do believe) those lies.

The truth is that liberals want us to give up more of our lives and become even more subserviant to government by believing the environment is damaged and we must do certain things if we are to survive. But where's the real proof for their case? Ask enough questions and the only holes you're going to find are in their lies. I used to be a rising star in the Democratic Party. I know Al Gore, he used to send me Christmas cards. But then I started seeing the light and telling people the truth.

Answer 5

Where have u been,global warming is a farce. One of the main characters was CO2. That is funny as mother nature had taken care of that a few million years ago.IT is processed by plants and they have removed almost all CO2 and it has not increased 30 %. U were duked like a few million others . Taking credit for doing something that had already been taken care by mother nature. Now they want to say methane I don't believe it either go measure it it is not there again.

Answer 6

The earth has lasted for so many billions of years longer than we can wrap out heads around. ♥ The earth will continue to exist even if we do not. If the environment changes too much we may end up like the dinosaurs and be fuel for the next dominant species to arrise in a few million more years.

Answer 7

The Earth will probably be around for millions of years. Global warming might, if it goes completely haywire, wipe out humanity, but the planet will still be here - just a lot hotter.

Answer 8

The earth will exist for a long long time. Even if the temperature goes up 100 degrees, the earth isn't going to disappear. We might but the earth will do just fine.

Answer 9

Many people want to argue that this is just a cycle of the earth warming.....I don't know for sure but one thing is for sure the earth is polluted our water and air poisoned. Acid rain is real. Polluted oceans rivers and streams are real. A decreasing fossil fuel supply is real. The critics cannot argue with this. We need people in congress and the whitehouse who take it seriously. Hopefully Al Gore will run in 2008.

Answer 10

Define drastic.....

The average summer temperature is only 1.4 degrees hotter now than it was since the first recorded average summertime temperature in the early almanacs.

There are even years where the average temp actually dropped.

I think that we will be okay.
