Can you please suggest the means and ways to check the increasing global warming? Do you feel it's important?

Question

Glaciers are squeezing every year every where in the world. The ice in mighty Himalayas, Alps is on decrease continiously. The population growth in South Asia can not be stopped. Forest area is reducing. Day by day the animals natural habitats are vanishing. The sunamis are on increase. The earthquakes in east Asia are more frequent. Can we conclude that we are doing something against the nature? If it's like that what are things we should not do? What message should we give to our next generation which seems wiser than us? Kind regards.

Answer 1

If anyone is opposed to Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" then perhaps you should watch an HBO production titled "Too Hot Not To Handle" Better yet, if you can read, perhaps looking at a few scientific papers submitted to the Scientific Foundation or the Library of Congress!

I don't think you will find any climatologist (not employed by big business and oil companies) that would even suggest that Global Warming is not happening.

For those who can't see global warming around them and use idiotic similes like the inaccuracy of climatologist, is truly an ignorant person (Confucius say: better to be thought a fool than to speak and no doubt be!") It's called "Trend Analysis"

Answer 2

I do think we are in big trouble if we do not act now. Our children, and our childrens children will be the ones to suffer the most, and they'll say to us, "Geez, thanks a lot for ruining it for us!". It really needs to reach everyone that this is happening, it's for real. If we don't do anything, three quarters of the Earths surface will be under water, and temperature will reach the temps. of Mercury, a whopping 900 f. There is about 50 animal species right now on the endangered species list because of global warming. Have you noticed birds flying north, during winter? I live in Oklahoma, and we use to have bad tornado seasons, but within the last few years, we hardly have had any... This year, I'm gonna try every little thing I can, I'm going to use a motorless lawn mower, fuel up my car at night, carpool even. So yeah, its a big problem, and the future of our next few generations are in our hands. I was watching a documentary couple weeks ago about the top 10 reasons Earth would be destroyed, and the number one reason was global warming.

Answer 3

Global warming is a constant and natural phenomenon just like global coolong or ice age.

We hear about global warming such a lot since we humans have increased the rate of temperature rise which will heat up the earths atmosphere at a faster rate and thereby inducing lot of climatic changes, loss of life, shortage of food grains and other such problems.

One of the biggest culprit is use of fossile fuel. If we need to curtail the fast rise in temperature we need to use less fossile fuel and this is the mantra. Other measures we need to take are - save our forests, use green technology, live sustainably, reuse and recycle materials.

Answer 4

Well first let's put the politics aside, global warming is an undeniable fact, many conservative folks think it's all fringe liberal lunatics and like to tease and deny but that's just being irresponsible and why should any of them care.

These folks want what's "their's" to stay just the way it is and are generally indifferent to other problems and cannot see emerging problems at all usually. Many I know to don't even care if it IS a problem for their children so you can see the level of responsbility being promoted isn't particularly high.

As one commenter pointed out glaciers are melting everywhere except Antartica, maybe, maybe not. Besides they really miss the point, all the glaciers which ARE melting are the one's we use for drinking water and running factories water pumps and such for making paper, farming etc near the places we currently have cities etc. (The Himalaya's, Alps, Rockies) all have or had snowcaps until recently which are becoming more seasonal and which are melting rapidly.

That "Al Gore" movie as someone else put it, is actually quite difficult to argue against if you can put aside a purposeless hatred of the former US Vice President for an hour or so.

Why is it important, because it's a challenge some of which are below.

1. Finding ways to reduce the water cycle disruptions and desertification and desert intensification which is already occuring in Australia, China and Sub-Saharan Africa and the Western US. Wars and more commonly low-level conflicts over water have already been fought (Chad, Sudan, Mali, China and Russia and Mongolia) and will likely increase over time.

2. We will have to find a solution or things could become distinctly unpleasant, if we don't get our economy mostly off of oil by 2050 or so, there won't be much of an economy left in 2060. because the US is no longer the biggest "problem" China, this year and India within 10 years will be in the position of using more of these resources than the US per year.

With three countries trying to use that much of the energy resources no wonder, our sons and daughters are dying for oil, it's vitally important, but that's only because we're stubborn and arguably arrogantly stupid and refuse to believe those damned liberal hippies who want us to be free of oil.

Mr. Bush refused to mention Global Warming for the 1st 4 years of his presidency and has just concluded going through many verbal contortions trying to suggest we should act strongly and boldly and decisively...and be required to do...nothing in particular, except maybe if you want to follow some mildly worded suggestions. It is still never called global warming but climate change or something which polls suggest sounds less alarming.

Are we doing something against nature, no, since we are inextricably part of nature, however while habitat destruction is a problem.

Mostly however, its not a question of what you or I should do, we both (probably) live in the 1st world. The problem is the 3rd world, where 5 billion people live and another 5 billion will be born in the next 50 years.

In a word, WE are the problem. You want to do something to help the environment have 1 kid, or 2 kids don't have 5 or 10. Make sure they get a good education.

But there are simply too many of us, China had to enforce by government program a "one child" policy. The US and Europe really don't need a one child policy since their populations are already decreasing , (US population not including immigration is close to flat or slightly decreasing, factoring in immigration it is growing.)

However, India and the rest of SE Asia as well as Sub-Saharan Africa will likely be a pretty unrecognizable hellscape in another 20-30 years, with nearly constant famines and low-level wars (Think Darfur from Sudan to South Africa).

Africa is already experiencing population "issues" due to catastrophic decimation of the adult population and innumerable orphaned children, so starkly empoverished,so poorly educated , these children are starting to have children of their own. It's not looking pretty and doesn't really bode well for us.

However, look on the "bright" side, with a collapsed government and no health services to speak of , there's always disease, AIDS/HIV already has and any other serious disease (bird-flu, dengue, super-malaria, ebola or some as yet unidentified nastiness) certainly could spread like wildfire across the "developing" world and leave us both the 1st world a place of varying degrees of "plenty and content" and the 3rd world of "unburied dead"

Basically there is a 1st world where we can have
pleasant debates on blogs and such and then the mass of humanity (eventually some 10 billion people) whom will/are unable/unwilling to even understand our discussions.

Prosperity and education brought the birthrate down in the European world, and political will did so in China, and either could do the same elsewhere and allow us to maybe have only 9 or 10 billion people in total but that will still leave the environment of the countries the majority of the 10 billion live in, utterly devastated.
=====================

For my money where Mr. Gore sees and exciting possibility when you factor in the other problems with environmental concerns, (population, famine, disease) I'm actually quite pessimistic.

One way or another the global warming problem will be solved.
US conservatives were successful and firm in their denials and turned it to a debate of belief vs. fact and "refused to believe" the "disease" even existed therefore the "ounce of prevention" is clearly un-necessary....so now the facts are in and we are already in the mess, "We" will be supremely fortunate if we can now spend trillions of dollars for decades to fix the problem and the "fixes" actually work.

Answer 5

properly a present day record mentioned that we mandatory to spend 50 TRILLION money to shrink CO2 emissions by skill of (purely) 50%-- this could on no account ensue--- it may bankrupt the finished international. So the skill to repair it (if it truly exists) is previous the mixed aspects of the Earth. i'll assert it returned--- instruct me the satellite tv for pc archives for yet another 25 years so we've a 40-50 12 months SAT vogue. floor station temp archives is extremely suspect.

Answer 6

Yes it is important to control global warming or else nothing will be left for tomorrow, for tomorrow's generation. And even our today will not be a good and pleasant one. To check global warming, we need to check pollution of all kind, especially the one created by use of machines, that includes your cars. Put a check on them, use them as occasionally as possible and global warming can be checked.

Answer 7

Global warming is primarily because of burning of fossil fuel. Carbon dioxide which was trapped as carbon by trees and fossil-ed as oil and coal is released into the atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuel. This can be tackled by
a) total prevention fo use of fossil fuel
b) re fixing the carbon dioxide by growing more trees
c) using alternate clean source of energy like wind power,Gobar gas,solar power,hydel power,wave power,and use of alcohol, wood as source of power

Answer 8

Global warming is very serious indeed! But apparently global warming isn't what is going to kill us because it is going to take about 30 years. the apacalyps is schedualed to be in just 5 years!

Answer 9

The global warming:
Developed countries think the phenonmena is because of Industrial pollution done by developing countries.
As per them developing countries are not maintaining pollution standards.
If the pollution standard are to be measured developing countries want subsidiary; otherwise they can not compete the global market.
So the issue is controvercial.

Answer 10

Some people argue that global warming has less to do with people's pollution than natural pollution. Either way, we need to monitor it and do our best to ensure that the current trend toward warming doesn't continue--whether it is our fault or nature's, we still gotta live here.
