Do you think global warming caused by man is true/false?

Answer 1

False.

It's possible man's contributions to greenhouse gases may have a slight effect, but things like the sun and other natural climate factors have far more influence.

This global warming stuff is nothing new. 4 times in the last century the media has been scaring us about global cooling, then warming, then cooling again, and now warming again. They see a trend of 10-20 years and go running around like Chicken Little.

Beside which, it was far warmer between 1100 AD and 1300 AD then it is now, and somehow, mankind and all the animals, plants, bugs and fish survived just fine.

Answer 2

it is both true and false. their are natural and yet there are mostly man made causes of global warming. while the majority of people cast all the blame on industrialized countries emiting lots of carbon into the air and water the non industrialized countries are also to blame. consider africa , where man has been choping wood to cook food and make houses and nesesities like that. they have cut down all the trees. now the entire region is a desert. deserts encourage drougt and heat. during times of drought these locals killed all the hippos and other animals that used to contribute to wild agriculture and keeping the water fresh.

global warming encourages volcanic activity and makes extreme weather more extreme.

global warming encourages desertification.

global warming slows the rate at which plant life can absorb carbon by reducing the amount of plant life on this planet.

global warming changes the microbiological ecosystems of the world so that anarobic and sulfer oxidizing microbes become more proliferous. this causes water to become anoxic and kills the fish or stunts their growth.

global warming is turning the jungles of new gunnie into a desert due to drought. an exhaustive amount of research has been done and papers writen on these maters and reviewed by experts who agree that global warming is a fact and is caused by man.

global warming encourages red tide and mass fishkills in the pacific and now the gulf of mexico too.

global warming and polution is destroying the natural beauty of and the ecosystems of the american east coast.

the people who do the polluting know they are doing the polluting they always deny it or blame somebody or something else though tbecause they usually polute to avoid the extra work or extra cost of not poluting. if they confessed to poluting they know fines and a bad reputation that result will mean more work and more cost so they lie.

global warming and over farming are causing the caspian sea to dry up.

global warming has caused an increase in the frequency of class five huricanes in both the atlantic and the pacific.

global warming has caused an increas in the severity and frequency of tornadoes in the us.

global warming is not caused by farting cows (yes the us gov spent money to study this)

mining tecniques that would be consided illegal in the u.s.a. are practiced in the nation of equadore and have caused a huge anoxic fishkill zone in the pacific ocean that is the origin of the el ninio effect.
i could go on and on.


only by an act of god or mankind preforming the greatest mission in history can we combat global warming. the mission would be the revegitation of north Africa and the Caspian basin. doing so would cause all the excess water melting off the ice caps to be contained in the form of plant life and the vegitation would also absorb all the excess carbon and cool things down. unfortunately nobody can get along.

Answer 3

True. But they want to call it climate change now. Greater hurricanes and more frequent. Not just 1 or 2 degrees warmer on average globally. It used to be just liberals and Democrats associated with the push to end human causes of global warming as it hurts big business, but it is becoming bipartisan. There are environmentalist conservatives becoming more frequent.

Answer 4

true, watch Inconvenient Truth...man has a huge impact on the environment and I didn't need a scientist to tell me that...I think those who deny global warming is worsened by man just hate environmentalists so much they won't open their eyes and look

Answer 5

No, volcanos have spewed more carbon into the atmosphere than mankind ever could.

In addition, scientist were reading ice core samples from antartica and found that global warming is a naturally occuring trend that the environment goes through every millenia or so.

Answer 6

There may be some truth, but natural effects are clearly huge -- the earth's temperature has been changing throughout its history. The proposition that mankind is responsible is unproven and indeed unproveable; the evidence is based on computer simulations which are notoriously iffy, as anyone who has tried to predict the weather knows all too well. One thing we can say for sure is that efforts to reduce human release of CO2 will be horrendously expensive.

Answer 7

I think we are very arrogant to believe we are having as much impact as the alarmists try to claim.
There was warming and an ice age before any industrial or automotive emissions of any kind.
Did the dinosaurs have too much 'natural gas'?
One vlocano can send out as much pollution in a single eruption as every power plant, car & truck in the world combined do in 10 years.
When are we going to start fining Mother Nature for excessive emissions?

Answer 8

All you have to do is look at records kept of the size of arctic and antarctic ice masses to see that something is causing the melting of the ice cover. These records show that since the 1950s (ie caused mainly by man) the rate has increased overall and thus draw your own conclusions

Answer 9

I vote true, the wildlife isn't driving around in auto's or have factories that emit their waste in the atmosphere and the waters.
