What's going on in the world?

Question

I think that the word is mad...... there are a lot of tornado that I've never seen and the weather is so strange. For instance in Italy, in particular in Rome the winter hasn't arrived yet.
There is a global warming and the temperature is strange, it's mad, like the world.......can you say me your point of view about that?
We have to be afraid?I think yes.

for Kalee.
Maybe you're right......maybe we're the couse of this rise in world temperature

For Gabs:
I'm not paranoid, but I've just said the reality, and we must do something to save the world.....becouse you're live in this world, aren't you?

Answer 1

The world is not mad - it’s just the world.

You have to accept that the world is a chaotic thing. It never stays the same. We have warm winters and cold winters; warm summers and cold summers. In the UK, for example, we’ve just had a very mild winter, but you have to consider that we had a warmer winter back in 1914.

So, our mild winter this year may be unusual, but it’s far from being something to be worried about.

I think Michael Crichton put it best when he said the following…

“Is this really the end of the world? Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods?

No, we simply live on an active planet. Earthquakes are continuous, a million and a half of them every year, or three every minute. A Richter 5 quake every six hours, a major quake every 3 weeks. A quake as destructive as the one in Pakistan every 8 months. It’s nothing new, it’s right on schedule.

At any moment there are 1,500 electrical storms on the planet. A tornado touches down every six hours. We have ninety hurricanes a year, or one every four days. Again, right on schedule. Violent, disruptive, chaotic activity is a constant feature of our globe.

Is this the end of the world? No: this is the world.

It’s time we knew it.”

Answer 2

Although there is definitely man made inputs adding into all of the weather systems, there is also the reality that the Sun has recently gone through its' solar flare cycle, five years ago at peak, and there is historically roughly a five year deferment of that effect occurring on this planet.

That means that historically we have noticed that the earths' temperature corresponds to a roughly five year delay in solar sun spot activities so right now we should be exiting that top of the curve and going back towards milder affectation from that input, AKA should be less heat as a result of that effect.
(Real Hot last summer? recall?)

That said, now (The next Five years) is when we are really going to find out for certain just how much of an effect we humans are actually having on this planet Vis a Vis Man-made inputs (Heat and CO2) to global warming, as it should show signs of either cooling or stabilization, (any other circumstances it would be descent or falling temps) and thereafter, pollution in general.

Answer 3

I think you are a bit paranoid and you are trying to create chaos, I think you should take a valium and go and see a shrink as you might be suffering from Anxiety.
The world has been changing ever since its existence, as well as weather has always been changing. You can't predict the forces of nature. You want to be afraid, be afraid. I have decided I do not give a d@mn about this and what's more I think human beings are very adaptable, if there is people that can live in the Antarctica and then those under the scorching sun and they survive then we'll be alright!

Answer 4

Those who say the world is mad simply have not bothered to check back data and statistics, such as those disclosed on the recent Channel Four programme "the Great Global warming swindle". This showed that the changes in climate the world is currently going through are exactly like what has happened previously throughout history and even before man existed on Earth. It is also clear that the climate change going on has not been caused by CO2 emissions, and such occurrences as the melting of polar ice has happened many times before and it has not had the kind of effects that we are being told it will have by people, who for whatever reason, want to falsify fact to you and me?.

Answer 5

I don't think that mankind is entirely responsible for what everyone calls 'global warming', and I am not suggesting that this is imminent but planets die and when you think that the earth has been living for millions and millions of years, my personal opinion is that it is slowly coming to the end of it's life, nothing lives forever after all and it has to happen some time, as I say I don't think it is imminent, probably a few hundred years to go, but I don't believe that we can do much about it.

Answer 6

All I know that down here in the South it is going to be a long, long hot Summer!

We have not even had winter here. All our plants and trees, monkey grass, everything is blooming. I have never seen all of it bloom so early before.

Answer 7

The human existence is normally precarious. But in the modern western world we have life as good as it usually gets. Don't waste time worrying. Enjoy your life in a way that many people around the world and many people in history can't do or can't have done.

Answer 8

Yes. It's serious. Nature can not adjust itself to such fast changes in temperature and .. . We already know many of the things that is expecting us as results of global warming. They freak me out. There are many more we don't know about yet. It tells me how much people care about their and the next generations' future. Apparently not much! How much governments do? not enough!! Global warming is a measure of selfishness, irresponsibility and lack of insight of human beings.

Answer 9

global warning is just a fraud... there are 500plus repeatable scientist who have proven this theory invalid.. Second I think the world is all messed up not just its natural disasters but the people who make this world impossible to be happy with.. violence is everywhere, sex offenders, drug dealers, law breakers etc.. It will never get better it will only get worse if people don't use their morals and their respect for this world to help save it.

Answer 10

we are destroying our world through greed, it seems you are very interested in this subject... read "the time machine" its about what happens in 820000 years from now and how the world has changed ... it seems pretty true. Written by H g wells. But personally i think through the carbon emission and immense amount of fossil fuels we are producing. With an estimated 50 years left of most fossil fuels. Our world will die out Very soon.
