What are your thoughts of Global Warming?

Question

What are your thoughts? Its a lie, its for real and happening, it will result in the next Ice Age?

Answer 1

Thought 1 - It is a fact that over the last 100 years temps are going up.

Thought 2 - We can't do much about it. It's to late for small changes and no one, not ever Al Gore, is ready to make big changes.

Thought 3 - This site should quit awarding points for global warming questions and answers. I can't leave them alone and I'm tired of them. I've answered clones of this question 5 times today.

Answer 2

Long before 'global warming' and 'climate change' were buzz words I was studying them.

Neither are new concepts, having first been discussed in the 1700's but back then no-one knew the mechanics of weather all they could do was record changes in the weather and speculate.

There is absolutely no question that global warming is occuring, the only things you need to determine this are a thermometer, and a pencil and paper to record the results. Fortunately people have been doing this for hundreds of years all around the world so the information is readily available. Further back it requires a bit of science - studying soil samples, sediments in lakes and rivers, ice cores etc. This tells us what was alive, where it lived and when. The ice core record now extends back 650,000 years and by analysing what's in the ice we can actually tell what the weather was like (not on any specific day but the general trends).

The world has been slowly warming up for 11,000 years - since the last ice age and this is quite normal. Our planet naturally cools and warms over long periods of time. The concern is that for the last 300 years the temperature has been rising faster than at any time before (certainly for the last 650,000 years and probably in the 4.5 billion years the earth has existed).

So yes, the world is warming up there's no doubt about that.

Some people will say the world isn't warming up, they may as well try to convince you the world is flat. The documented evidence tells us the world is warming up, it's speculation, lies, propoganda and misonformation that tells us the world isn't warming up.

Global warming is one aspect of the much bigger picture of climate change - the two things are linked but are very different.
In short, we know the world is warming up; there's speculation as to how much more it will warm up and what the effects will be.

So far we've seen the polar ice caps starting to melt, one million square kilometres of permafrost in Siberia turning into mud and water, the world's first climate refugees forced to leave their island homes because of rising sea levels, the hottest years and decades on record etc.

Answer 3

Warming of the earth.
Yes it is going on but why?
Man and his SUVs or many things that man is only a small part.

We do know the world was in a small ice age in the 1600s thew the 1800s. So how far will we come out of it.

Why is a warming earth all bad?
Could it be that some people are using a change that is out of any ones control to gain power?

Answer 4

I've been reading into it recently and here is the thing about global warming and weather predictions in general. They get these predictions with computer programs. They geather as much data as they can, for global warming for example they get temperature and weather records as far back as they can, they feed this information into a computer, they also feed all they know about the earth at this time and trends they expect to continue in the future. They run the program several times and see what the out come is.
Global warming is not set instone as predicted, weather is a chaotic system. There is a lot about earth that we simply can't recreat on a computer, there is also a lot we don't know. Global warming may not be happening at all or it can be much worse then anything predicted. I, for one, prefer to err on the side of caution.

Answer 5

Its happening, theres nothing to it. The next ice age may not occur anytime soon but global warming can result to it maybe in 300 years from now.

Answer 6

while you're heavily doing a challenge then look into the technological information not human beings's "ideas and comments". The technological information is very sparkling, unequivocal and agreed upon for over 2 an prolonged time. don't be distracted via the "there is not any info" or "the scientists do not agree" arguments as the two have been shown to be fake and basically touted in the previous 5 or 6 years. people who deny international Warming or that humanity has an result on international Warming have not have been given any scientific info to maintain their positions so as that they often revert to different procedures. a common reaction would be to attack every physique who helps action and then quote a novelist as being a scientific source!! SEE ABOVE!

Answer 7

We won't be here to become extinct through global warming. Think about it. We're doomed in every way possible: water pollution, no fossil fuels, air pollution, cancer, AIDS, nuclear spills, holes in the ozone, the Sun will die (and fry us in the meantime), the Earth's orbit will eventually get messed up, there's meteors, pigs will take over the planet, and then there's God. Ah, the times we live in...

Call me apolcalyptic, but it's the truth.

Answer 8

All talk, no action.

Al Gore for example had 8 years as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE USA and did almost nothing to prevent Global Warming.

Hmmm.......
Time for a feature film.

Answer 9

IF GLOBAL WARMING CONTINUES THE POLAR ICE CAPS ARE GOING TO MELT RESULTING IN FLOODS
