Answer 1

The earth has had many climate shifts. This will simply be one that happens in the middle of a modern civilization. Many people will be displaced, it will cost humanity uncounted money and lives, but we'll deal with it. This is what people do. We survive.

Answer 2

Click on the link below. Partway down the page, you will see a graph titled, "What is the Earth's Climate Record?" Please point to "Today" on that graph and then answer the question: "How hot is it, really, compared to the past?" You will see that Earth's climate has fluctuated tremendously for all of its long, long history, entirely without the help of humans. In fact, the climate is MUCH cooler now than it has been in millions of years. Since we are still coming out of the tail end of the last Ice Age, it is to be expected that the climate will warm up over the short term. Does human pollution have an impact on the environment? Of course it does, and we should take measures to curtail that impact as much as possible. But to say that we, alone, are changing the world's climate forever is ridiculous, when the evidence says otherwise. The warmest time was at the Permian-Triassic period, and no humans existed then!

Answer 3

Top scientists have refuted man's affect on the climate such as Astrophysicist Nir Shariv who stated, "Solar activity can explain a large part of the 20th-century global warming. Particularly because of the evidence that has been accumulating over the past decade of the strong relationship that cosmic- ray flux has on our atmosphere."

"The sun's strong role indicates that greenhouse gases can't have much of an influence on the climate."

Even doubling the amount of CO2 by 2100, for example, "will not dramatically increase the global temperature."

I don't think there is a debate about whether global warming is occurring, but the idea that it is man made is a myth. Remember, the UN who came out with a recent report about climate change is a political entity that has done many things to prove it is not a credible, un-biased source. A recent example is the oil for food scandal that diverted millions of dollars to UN members and others. Also, even if there was man made climate change, China, India are not going to embrace fossil fuel consumption.

Additionally, many scientists disagree about climate change and 17,000 signed a petition against the Kyoto treaty. Unfortunately, the sales focussed media who know little about this, spin it to suit their own opinions. So, its highly debatable whether humans are influencing global warming. Another thing to consider is that every 11,500 years, the earth goes through a major extinction with a global warming and cooling phase (ice age.) Paleontologists are able to track this through soil samples. We may actually be headed into an ice age because we are coming to the tail end of the current cycle. The problem is that the media and politicians get focussed on a piece of the puzzle and try to simplify this issue. Don't be fooled. There is probably nothing humans can do. Even if we could, there is no way you can control China who is becoming a major world polluter. Humans will need to adapt to climate change. Where I live there are small changes in our weather pattern, but nothing major. A lot of the media is hype to sell newspapers. The only caution is that some past climate changes have been more radical, swinging wildly from hot to cold. Others have brought on instant and severe cold conditions. I know the area that I live used to be buried in hundreds on feet of ice, but temperatures are mild today... Humans will just need to wait and see what mother nature brings and adapt as necessary.

Answer 4

What is it with you and the Rapture? I stopped waiting for that back in 1988. If global warming is real, we're all simply screwed. There's nothing mankind can do about it. Besides, if the CO2 really rose to 30%, we'd all suffocate long before the 'tipping point' is reached. The earth will do just fine without us.

Answer 5

Even if the scientists are correct, that means the earth will not support the number of humans on earth and many many will die. This will cause the reason behind the climate change to stop, which will cause the earth to return to normal.

Answer 6

the rapture and any discussion of science do not belong in the same thought ...

rapture - is like expcting to actually see santa claus come down your chimmeny on xmas

science ... is not

Answer 7

First off, no rapture. Secondly, we aren't gonna have centuries left on this earth to find out if they're right or not.

Answer 8

Well its 5 below zero Farenheit outside where I am right now with a wind chill of 27 below. A little global warming right now would be appreciated. I do believe in global warming but where I live that isn't so bad.

Answer 9

I don't think mother nature will have any different treatment for the "righteous" ones.
They will suffer just like the others.

Answer 10

The adaptation of the living things in this planet is incredible.
I'm not scare.
