Isn't trying to stop global warming like trying to stop the wind from blowing?

Answer 1

Yes. You are right. The "global warming" has more to do with the normal cycle of the planet than anything people can do. Just do some research on global warming. I've found that you can't just look at the last 50 years, you have to look at 100's of years and then you will see.

Answer 2

"No, it can be reversed or slowed, but it will be very difficult because we have become accustomed to a lifestyle that is very harmful to this earth. It is possible, but it would take very strong willpower and a want to save the earth"

That is an extremely ignoratn answer on several levels. Global warming is not preventable or reversible; it is a natural occurence that would happen with or without human interference. It has happened before, and after another 20,000 or so years the earth will begin to cool.. and then warm again!

Besides that, who says global warming is destroying the earth? It's making life more difficult for humans, but it the world isn't going to end. In fact, increased rainfall and higher sea levels will likley lead to more diverse and abundant life forms. If anything, global warming helps reverse damages done to the planet by humans. You're worried about the rainforests? Then pray for global warming to happen faster. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Sahara covered with a jungle in a few thousand years, just like it was before the ice age we're still essentially in.

Answer 3

Unfortunatley, the vast majority of climate scientists agree that the planet's temperature is warming primarily due to emissions from coal and gas burning over the past 150 years or so.

This has been known since at least November 1995, when 2,500 climate scientists announced this to the world. Maybe they're wrong, but until then, I'll take their opinions over random people on the internet who don't understand the science.

As for stopping this human-induced global warming, probably there's nothing we can do now to prevent it from occurring, but we can prevent it from getting worse by cutting out fossil fuel emissions, maintaining the rainforests, planting more trees, etc.

Answer 4

In my opinion, stopping global warming requires practically EVERYONE to do his/her part to help the environment. It's already difficult enough just to persuade a whole population of a city, state, or nation, not to mention globally? It is like trying to stop the wind from blowing by telling each molecule in air not to move.

Answer 5

Trying to get a true scientist to come forward with proof of the reasons for "global warming" is like trying to see the wind.

Why have there been ice ages, the last about 15000 years ago, that scientists can't explain.

Now, the UN states that cattle are 1/4 of the "green house gas" source.

Answer 6

Nope, since we all do have an influence on the progress, to slow it down or perhaps even be able to reverse it one day.
But we cannot stop the wind from blowing.

Answer 7

No, it can be reversed or slowed, but it will be very difficult because we have become accustomed to a lifestyle that is very harmful to this earth. It is possible, but it would take very strong willpower and a want to save the earth.

Answer 8

I don't think so. We just have to get smart about it. Everybody has to do their part, it's not up to one country, it's about all countries getting smart, and realizing that the resources we have been abusing for 100 years are not going to last forever.

Answer 9

No! You can stop it from getting any worse! If you don't now you'll die or others will die sooner than their life span!Of course it will ware away after a while, but you can help it!

Answer 10

I'd say pretty much!
Well at least in our lifetime.
