What would you do if a global warming starts to take its place?

Question

recently, the atmosphere is changing rapidly these days, from tsunami, earthquakes, typhoons, heavy rains.. if this is what made the dinosours extinct, what will you do if that time comes? where will you go?

Answer 1

I agree to moondrop. It is our oppurtunity now to turn to God.

I dont care how many times they will ignore signs and tellings that the world has its end, but every human being is entitled to ask forgiveness for their sins.

It is much better to ask forgiveness and accept God as our creator and saviour than suffer and fret over comings of global warming (destruction of earth).

Answer 2

Earthquakes and tsunamis have nothing to do with the atmosphere or global warming. Earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and the main cause of tsunamis is violent shifts in the ocean floor caused by earthquakes.

As for global warming. I'm one of the doubters. Let me re-phrase that. I have my doubts that global warming is being cause by entirely by human activity. I'm not a scientist, but I still wonder if global warming isn't part of a natural cycle - one we can't document by direct observation because our observations only go back a little more than 100 years.

One possibility I wonder about is if this current trend isn't the tail end of the warming cycle from the last ice age. Think about what would happen to an ice cube when you put it on the ground on a cold day. As long as the temperature was above freezing the ice cube would melt but it would take a long time. Now put that same ice cube on the ground when it's 80°. It's going to melt rather quickly. The point being that the ice will melt faster as it gets warmer.

Don't misunderstand me, I fully support any efforts to curb the use of fossil fuel and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Even if these are not having a drastic effect on the global environment, simply cutting waste and pollution is the right thing to do. In the last year I've replace all the lights in my house with florescent bulbs, I'm doing more recycling than ever, and I even do little things like park my car and walk in rather than use the drive-in.

As far a what I would do? Well, what can you do? I don't live close enough to the ocean that rising sea levels would affect me. When it comes to more severe weather or droughts, all you can do is take precautions to protect yourself. I certainly won't be moving to the east coast or gulf coast in the near future.

By the way, it's pretty commonly accepted that the dinosaurs were killed off when a meteor struck the Yucatan peninsula about 60 million years ago.

Answer 3

There will be nowhere to go to get away from it.I don't think it's what made the dinosaurs extinct.I started thinking about it last April when a storm ripped the tops off of almost all my trees,split one down the middle,and blew in a window in my son's room.If it had been any later,he would have been in his room and would have gotten cut pretty badly.If it had hit my room instead,it could have killed me or my baby,or both.I have never seen a storm like that in my life,in this town.I don't think this town has ever been hit so badly.That is when I realized there is a serious problem,and I want to do what I can to slow it down.

OK,that's not really an answer to your question.My real answer,I guess,is that it's not where you go but how prepared you can be.There will come a time when nothing will save us because water will be scarce and no food will grow.There will be starvation and disease on top of the natural disasters.The main thing to think about is trying to be strong enough to last until the balance shifts again,as I hope it will before too long.I just wish people would realize that smaller change right now will slow down losing life and civilization as we know them.The ones that crank up the AC and frequent the drive-through in their SUVs are going to be the first to go if it's about survival of the fittest.

Answer 4

Good question. This reminds me of the movie an Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore. It was a good movie.

As far as what I would do, I would try to prevent global warming from happening by taking care of the environment. Supposedly it is supposed to get bad in about 50 years.

As far as where I would go, I'm not sure, hopefully I won't live to see that day. If everything was gone, there will be nowhere to go.

Answer 5

"IF global warming STARTS"

You must be a scientist if you think we are still awaiting for the arrival of the effects of global warming. They seem to be the only ones with their heads in their bottoms about it. But then, who pays most of them to conduct studies on global warming and do their findings conform to someone's agenda?.

The results are not in yet about what killed off the dinosaurs. I doubt, short of discovering ancient texts telling this tale, we will ever find the truth of this event. Climate change caused by what?
A comet landing on the planet? The folks in Atlantis pumping too many chemicals in the air? Aliens landing to save the beleaguered human species?

Global warming is the cause for the change in our weather systems. Soon it will effect our health and finances in ways few have considered yet. I think that global warming will take its toll upon the planet bit by bit with occasional surges of extra destruction. Our land mass will shrink incredibly.

Seeing as I live beside the ocean, I think I would have no choice to move up to higher ground. Since I live on a well populated island, I imagine that spot will be rather crowded. Gosh doesn't this remind you of the rains and Noah's Ark?

Answer 6

I'm afraid that's the end of it. Either we'll die out or we'll learn to survive in these adverse conditions. I'm not sure if that'll will work. What we have to do now, is reduce the amount of CO2 in the air and save the earth before it gets worse.

Answer 7

I'm pretty sure I won't be alive to see the more devastating effects of global warming. I'll go nowhere.

Answer 8

If things start falling apart I'm afraid that there's nowhere to go. As far inland as possible maybe.

Answer 9

buy more AC's and laminating our houses and buy firearms in the midst of inflation and sliding global economy and mass evacuation from coastal areas while millions of dollars are being spent on research on alternative fuels..
