Do you think......Global Warming Question...?????

Question

Do you think that Global Warming will happen just like it does in the movie The Day After Tomarrow?????

Answer 1

Most definately not. It would be impossible for global warming to happen over night like that. Plus, the effects of global warming would most likely involve water washing up on the shores, since Greenland and the ice caps are thawing more and more everyday. I believe that it is something that will definately effect us negatively in the future as it already has, like increased hurricanes and washed out cities. The climate will forever change (destroying the delicate balance of Earth's nature), and if we don't do something soon- it will be what actually ruins this planet.

Answer 2

We can't predict climatic future with certainty, but there exists a substantial body of evidence that the atmosphere and oceans are indeed warming. Certainly a natural climatic cycle is at work, but a crucial question is to what extent human combustion of fossil fuels is a contributing factor. I don't see how the burning of 80 million barrels of oil, plus 20 million tons of coal, every day of the year can not have a measurable effect. Now all the idiots will give this answer the thumbs down.

Answer 3

No. Thats about the Northern Atlantic Current. Global warming would mean things like skin cancer and Hurricanes and lack of Fresh water.

Answer 4

No, I think global warming is yet another liberal attempt by Al Gore (you know, the guy who invented the Internet) to scare the American people.

Answer 5

i think it will be worse than that ... i believe that the process has already began ..... but our leaders do not want 2 let us know the full damage ... but if ya look at nature u can see that we r in 4 a world of hurt ..... 2 keys examples r frogs and polar bears ....

it may sound a lil funny ... but look in2 it .... what happens 2 frogs ... will happen 2 snakes ... and then 2 birds ... and so on ....

Answer 6

No...But I think it will happen faster than people expect. The summers are getting much hotter and the winters much warmer and it seems like each year we set the record for warmth.

Answer 7

no, its going to take a longer time then that. we need to conserve and do out part to overcome global warming though

Answer 8

Yes, and no. those were movie effects in the day after tomorrow. but because of the oil companies, than yes it could happen.

Answer 9

some reasons and solutions

it has been happening for some time already

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification


in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,
deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .
and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result
(are you seeing more Chinese around interested in agricultural lands ,we do here in Mexico)

this was man made global warming because of over grazing and fertilizers, and they are not the only ones
collectively this planet is drying up ,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

so as far as the food production is concerned Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

SOLUTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use

Answer 10

I do not think it will happen, it may come to a warmer point, who is to say that it will not cool down again. To be on the safe side I will Book my passage to outer space. -:) -:) Or do you think it is better to dig in underground ?
