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

Didn’t we answer a question like this yesterday?

Yes, we have global warming, but I don’t think that’s what you really want to know.

What you really want to know is; should we be worried about it?

The answer to that question is; no, probably not.



Think of it this way…

The current global warming trend has been going on since around 1750 – so that’s around 250 years ago.

So, after 250 years of global warming, can you honestly say that you’ve noticed that it’s causing you any great hardship yet? I can’t.

Of course the global warming alarmists will say “It will do soon, though!” Really? When exactly? If 250 years of global warming has had, to all intents and purposes, no effect whatsoever, why should we believe that it’s going to suddenly start causing us problems just because of their predictions – predictions that, in every case in the past, turned out to have grossly overestimated what the climate actually did.

Before we start taking extreme action based on what the alarmists are saying, I think it’s reasonable to expect them to prove that they know what they’re talking about, by *accurately* predicting what the climate will do.

Until then I see no reason why we should take any action based on their unfounded scare-mongering.

Global warming has not been proved by scientists.There is only 1% chance that the temperature will rise by 6 degrees Celcius by 2100.

The knowledge about global warming is not certain. Scientists have difficulty analysing interaction between carbon dioxide, temperature, oceans, clouds, winds and forests, solar rays and the orbit of Earth.

But the risk of global warming, although small, exists. We can help by not polluting the air, by reducing emission of gases such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, etc.

How can e be sure global warming exists? Global warming is a theory based on less than 100 years of weather trends. Our Earh is millions of years old. It has seen ice ages, heat waves, and other extreme weather patterns. I think it is absolutely obsurd to try and pass this theory off as a real problem.

We do indeed have global warming it has been ongoing since the end of the ice age and there is nothing we can do to stop it, it is a natural cycle it will continue for a few more hundred years and then the ice age will start again

According to a book written by a Danish scientist, it's all a load of cr*p hairy bottomed environmental groups stir up to get resources redirected to their causes with the aid of media hysteria.

Here's a wikipedia article on the book:

I believe we have global climate change and it is mother nature doing her thing as she has done throughout the long history of the world irregardless of mankind and no I do not think there is anything humanity can do to change it and frankly I do not think we should.

Yes I do. A few ways we could help would be if everyone is a little more careful with their consumption of fossil fuels, and we get better mass transit systems throughout the world.

It is happening right now! You use less machine transportation, less factories, emissions from vehicles. If we rode a bike. Yes we can slow down global warming. BUT we are too lazy, that is the truth. We cannot stop consuming oil, find better resources, we are afraid of change. It is the sad truth. There are many ways to make global warming slower. But you should not worry about it killing you now, not yet anyway.

we should get back to the natural life just like the same as in 1700s or backer years or we should set up the conditions in which we can't pollute the world.This means we mustn't use technological units that poison ourselves.Shall we start terminating all the whole-killing weapons,initially nuclear ones ?Thanks for this releasing.
