Do you believe in global warming or cooling?

Answer 1

The change in temperature has been miniscule...1/16th of a degree! I believe in neither.

Answer 2

There seems to be a lot of evidence that the earth has warmed and cooled many times over the centuries. We are definitely in a warming period. Are we at the beginning of the period or at the end? The oceans are rising about 3/4 inch each year, and have been for hundreds of years. There is a lot of physical evidence the oceans were much higher in the past. In the southern U. S., the ocean covered Florida, south Texas, etc. then global cooling caused it to recede. Will it warm back to that level? Need to research and study to really understand. Don't listen to news casters and actors. They know little about nothing for the most part. Study and learn for yourself.

Answer 3

Yes, I do believe.

While North America and Europe—where the science is strongest—exhibit the highest density of indicators, scientists have made a great effort in recent years to document the early impacts of global warming on other continents.

Although factors other than climate may have intensified the severity of some of the events on the map, scientists predict such problems will increase if emissions of heat-trapping gases are not brought under control.

Answer 4

Anyone who says no is ignoring actual measurements. Its not a theory, its happening now.

All measurements over the last 150 years show a sudden increase in temperature and it is continuing to rise. There is no doubt about global warming. There is a 90% chance that it is down to people. That is the conclusion of the world's climate scientists.

Answer 5

Is it possible not to believe?
Earth is warming. Man made GHG's are the cause. And the warming is going to continue. These facts are no longer disputed in the climate science community.

Answer 6

What does belief have to do with global warming and cooling? It is obvious that there are cycles of warming and cooling associated with this planet. Of course, Liberal hype is another matter.

Answer 7

Of course I do. The amount of Geological evidence is overwhelming to prove that the Earth has (over the last few million years) been a lot warmer and a lot cooler than it is right now.

That's an established scientific fact, belief has -nothing- to do with it.

Answer 8

Yes I do, because it is actually happening.
How else do you explain birds not moving away for the winter and other weird things with animals. Why else do plants and flowers bloom in other times than they normally do?
Why else is it less cold than it is otherwise?

Answer 9

Is global warming a man-made menace?

not all there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

some home truths

politicians and scientists who work for politicians have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many people income,and most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.


in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification


in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,
deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .
and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result
(are you seeing more Chinese around interested in agricultural lands ,we do here in Mexico)

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

as far as the food production is concerned, Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

SOLUTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use

lets throw some money at the democrats and see what they say.
