Who is responsible for global warming?

Answer 1

We are.

Answer 2

Not man. He wasn't responsible for the ice age. He wasn't responsible for the dinosaurs dying off. Man doesn't generate earthquakes or control sunspots in the sun or dictate how near or far the moon can circle the earth. Man does not cause flooding or tell a volcano not to stop erupting and spew volcanic ash throughout the atmosphere in the earth. No man triggered the deadly December 2004 Tsunami. No man is responsible for the way the earth continents shift on tectonic plates. So based on these facts I don't think man is responsible for global warming.

Here come the Lemmings again! Just get in line and follow the Al Gores of the world. Do you not see what is happening around the world? The big push is to "unite" the world under a global cause. Saving the world is just the latest cause. And this designed to diminish the USA. Hell, so much i=of the USA's manufacturing has gone to China and other countries that emissions have fallen here by millions of tons of pollutants. But, China has no emissions standards there, so the safeguards that the USA employed in the manufacturing of those same goods are no longer there. This has caused China to dump twice as much of pollutants by the ton into atmosphere. So go ***** at china. We here in the USA do our part, and improve each day upon what we have already done to stop pollution.

What about India, Pakistan, South America, Mexico, Russia...
Give me break.

And what about the proof that the world is just going through another cycle?

Yes, mankind has contributed, but you can not say that mankind is THE cause. And the USA is doing it's part, so get off our backs.

Answer 4

The US government who is lead by corporate america, these conglomerates funnel billions of dollars to the Bush government and the government turns their collective heads, unless you have a joseph hazelwood ramming a oil tanker drunk into a pristine ecosystem in alaska you wont here boo, because unless its a catastophe they turn a blind eye, so your question is simple Bush government is the most irresponsible government, watch 60 minutes they had an excellent peice on this topic, it explained that the top US science community put together a paper explaining the facts of the industrial pollution the US was creating and then the leader of this group ( a Bush appoint lawyer) edited the report and changed its contents from words like WILL to COULD in the document, once this was read to the house this snake lawyer jumped ship to work for exxon. So the bush government is well aware of who is causing the greenhouse effect but he is to preoccuppied with iraq and the taliban.
what good is protecting the environment when you cant even guarantee the protection of your citizens?

Answer 5

On the news tonight there was a report released by the UN on global warming. Previous reports have focussed on the role of richer nations, big business and practises of ordinary people in developing countries. Guess what ? This report blames YOU and ME - all of us are guilty of creating a world where our children, who are all ready choking, are faced with a issue that no generation has had to face before - possible extinction. If my answer is a little strong it is because, like everyone, the instinct for survival is also very strong.

Answer 6

The Sun is responsible for global warming!

Answer 7

You, me, our parents, our grandparents, etc. etc. etc.
There is no one country more responsible than another. The same measures must be taken globally to combat global warming and reverse current warming trends. If the people of a democratic country would vote for who's actually addressing this issue, perhaps we can get started already... we shall see...

So sad to see that people are still shifting the blame... the earth didn't do this to itself...perhaps in our absence it would have happened naturally, but it would have been at a much slower rate. We're here, and we have to take care of what's left for the preservation of future generations.

Answer 8

the answer is so complicated not even one scientist says more than 'it is very likely human emissions are responsible'. There are so many processes at work that the human influence is actually just one of the many hypothesizes in the search for an adequate explanation. But a lot of so called ecologists believe that man is earths pathology... This puts much weight on that one hypothesis...

So anyway, who is responsible you ask? IT IS THE SUN.

Answer 9

The earth has been warming since the last ice age. Human activity MAY have sped thing along but that's not proven. Check out Gaia theory about the earth being a self correcting organisim.

Answer 10

Of course man the day when he was dropped on the planet and discovered fire, global warming started and is increasing since that day.

Answer 11

The prevailing scientific opinion on climate change is that "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations." The main cause of the human-induced component of warming is the increased atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are released by activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, and agriculture.
