Evolutionist and others, what do you think of global warming? Deal or no deal?

Question

is Al Gore right about global warming? And what about what other scientists are saying about the idea? Today is -30 degrees in Chicago, does that seem warm to you?

Check out the tempature in other parts of the country....

Answer 1

How is global warming an idea?

Are you also implying that there is no evidence that supports global warming?

Can you define global warming?

Why is your question first directed at Evolutionists?

Further, global warming is mankind's doing. What we're doing to the planet is causing a shift in temperature. I don't see how your question should be directed to Evolutionists when followers of organized religion recognize the global problem at hand.

Do you believe that humans can one day become extinct? This is what we're looking at if mankind's actions don't change on this planet. Mother nature will always prevail. Look at Hurricaine Katrina. Look at the Tsunami. Look at our recent tornado in Central Florida. People can pray 'til the cows come home, but man will always lose against the planet's forces. These forces are a result of the shifting temperatures on the planet which is a result of mankind's treatment towards the planet.

Have a nice day...

Answer 2

Because global warming, which up until this point, has happened slowly enough for creatures to adapt to it. Cuz of people and their greenhouse gasses, its happening faster than anything can evolve. That, and humans don't really evolve anymore. Our technological advances have guaranteed that almost everyone, whether or not they have undesirable traits, will live long enough to reproduce. Thus halting human evolution. Oh, and don't use the word "evolutionist." There's no such thing as an evolutionist. It's a theory, not a religion.

Answer 3

Well, I do agree that something weird is happening with the weather. It is warmer in places and colder in a few others. And the global temperature is up very slightly.

Now the weather has always moved in cycles. And the fact is that the global temperature is still below average if you go back a few million years. I think we are a long way from saying for sure that it is man that is doing any of it or could do anything to stop it.

Remember these same guys were yelling about global cooling in the 70s. It is not a nice clear cut situation and if any side says it is, they are lying.

Answer 4

Global warming is real but it's not about today's temperature.

The Earth has had warm periods and cold periods for as long as man can tell. What's alarming about the current warming trend is that it is happening at an unprecedented pace since the industrial revolution. 'Green house gasses' are indeed causing a far more rapid rise in overall global temperatures. The melting away of several enormous ice shelves should be a wake up call to everyone.

And by the way, the wind chill factor is not the temperature.

Answer 5

Yes, Global Warming is the real deal.

The American government is full of idiots and criminals.

They allowed the 9/11 attacks to happen even though they had all the intelligence necessary to prevent them, they ignored engineers' and scientists requests to build a higher levee in New Orleans for years before Katrina, and they have been ignoring Global Warming for decades now because their friends in the big oil businesses are still making them rich and helping them get elected time and time again.

The only thing about Global Warming is that it won't just kill one population of people, like in the 2 disasters above; it will kill populations of populations, so to speak, in America and the world over.

Only when the global economy gets depressed from the mass deaths and property losses will Americans and our government think twice about the problem.

Answer 6

I'm not arguing for or against global warming, but the temperature in Chicago has nothing to do with it, nor the temperature in other parts of the country. You'd better define what you mean by global warming, because it's not what the scientists are talking about. And what's it got to do with R&S?

Answer 7

I'm an environmental activist, along with being an Atheist and Evolutionist. If we don't change our ways, within 100 years we will face much harsher problems than the increased weather velocity and slight rise in the water level we have seen in the last century. A large population of the world could be extinct between 300-500 years. We need to do what we can to help the future generations, our children's generations.

Answer 8

First, you need to study some science. Global warming causes all kinds of weird temperature effects. On New Year's Eve where I live, it was 70 degrees. Today it's below zero. I live in Maine.

Also: "Evolutionist" is not a word in the sense you're talking about. The "-ist" implies that the person "believes" in evolution. One does not "believe" or "disbelieve" in evolution; one either accepts or ignores its reality.

Answer 9

I believe in global warming. I live in Alaska, and the climate change over the last 28 years is significant. As far as it being caused by humans, I think that's a little anthropcentric. The geologic record proves climate change throughout the Eath's lifetime.

Answer 10

Global warming has many other effects than some areas getting warmer - like, for instance, freak temperture changes, storms, hurricanes, etc.

The general concensus is that global warming is a reality, although the argument is whether or not we caused it. But even if we didn't contribute to it significantly, it will still kill us off if we don't do anything to halt it.
