should we be scared of globel warming an clamate change ?

Answer 1

Nope, I'm spraying aerosol cans, running my SUV and leaving all the lights on in my house as we speak. A little warmer weather would be a welcome change.

People don't seem to realize that the temperature change in the Earth's atmosphere is falsely increased by the fact that most of the temperature readings are taken in major metropolitan areas. Areas that have a very high concentration of concrete and steel. These materials absorb a lot of the energy from the sun's rays, and radiate them back after the sun has set, keeping the average temperature higher in that specific area. The problem with this is that as the heat from the city rises, it causes air from the surrounding towns to be drawn in, expanding the gasses, and lowering the temperature of the area adjacent to the city. Therefore the average temperature for the whole region is about the same, it is just higher in the city.

Most people are just going to read this and flame me for having a different perspective on the way things are in the world, but look into it. Everything that I have said is true. It's just the left wing media and the fearmongering machine that is our American news trying to get ratings and votes with their doomsday prophecies.

Answer 2

It really depends on how much you respect the planet and/or love any children you may have. While you (or anyone else living) may not, adversely, feel the effects of global-warming or climate change, future generations will have to pay for the damage to the environment that their ancestors (us) have done to the environment. It isn't just something we should let the government sort out. If everyone does their bit to live a more energy efficient life, it will make such a huge difference. For example...I'm 35 and can remember it snowing heaps during winter when I was growing up, here in London. Nowadays, it rarely snows which can't be good for the environment and the flora and fauna that depend on seasonal changes to live.

Answer 3

It is a fact that fear usually comes from the uninformed and is heightened by the same. Instead of fear, we replace it with TRUTH! Global warming will gradually happen and the main guilty party is not the burning of fuel oil. That amounts to about 6% of the air pollutants and carbon dioxide. The cure, just as in Israel, was to plant trees. The same is being done in Africa. Take one tree and plant 3 or 4. The active Volcanoes have increased as predicted by the Bible as have earthquakes. These will increase and this means a faster global warming. As one said about this: So the ocean depth increases and the shores recede, we can move North for climate changes. Actually moving North will not be necessary and we have always had trouble with flooding at shores around our entire planet! You hear about this flooding and have wondered why the people still move back to that same place.. We all have questioned why they do! See, do not worry. Plant some trees and this will help some. But those volcanoes will not be concreted over with any success and some will always tell lies for their agendas!!! Earl

Answer 4

No. I am a pensioner and will probably be long dead before Global Warming gets to be a serious problem. In the meantime, I am looking forward to a warmer climate here in damp England.

I understand that the Summer of 2007 will be very hot here in UK. It will have to go a long way to beat the fabulous Summer of 1976, when England was hotter than Spain and Spanish vultures were seen flying over Wales.

Answer 5

NO climate change is a natural occurrence IT will happen very slowly; there may be an unusal happening now and again. this has happend from day one.depending on how old you are you might remember different years weather changes from now. I can recall very hot summers floods and deep snow if these happened today this would be put down to climate Change t this is as far as i see it i am over 60

Answer 6

Yep, be afraid very afraid, think about it, apart from the rising temperature's there will be vast areas of land that will be uninhabitable due to temperature rise some land therefore will not be able to sustain the population that it once did, plus all the loss of land around coastal areas due to the rise in sea level, so where will all the displaced people go??, well further north if they are in the northern hemisphere they will be looking for places to live you could have whole countries around the equator where the whole population will have to move, of course this wont happen over night maybe 20 or 30 years who knows but there will be basically less land to support more people, i suppose land further North will become more usable because of the temperature rise and this will cancel out the land lost to an extent,.... anyway some of us will be up **** creek

Answer 7

What you really need to be scared of are the knee jerk attempts of the Clinton Administration when they "crack down" on excessive CO2 emissions. What factories are left will pull up stakes and leave the country to relocate in the Third World, where the Kyoto Treaty will allow them to do business as usual. This is the same thing that happened after the first environmental restrictons of the 70s.

Answer 8

Only the ignorant and weak should be scared. Hasn't the media told you yet of the record COLD the past few days? It's not global warming, it's called the weather.

Answer 9

YES! we really should! Not only because it is real, but also because if enough people show their fear then others may wake up to the fact that we are ruining our planet for our children and children's children.
At least everyone with kids should take more interest in the catastrophe that faces us, it's scary and needs immediate action. Getting rid of that self-centred Bush would be a good start, replacing him with someone who has a brain.

Answer 10

Not unless 'we' are rich Liberals living within 500 ft of the shoreline.

It's NEVER a good idea to respond to a lie. We need to convert from an oil based economy to a renewable one, but not because of FEAR. We need to respond rationally to economic forces telling us the same thing.
