A question to those who don't believe in global warming.?

Question

What if you're wrong?. We're talking about the future habitability of this planet, what if you're wrong?. Should we take that chance?
or maybe we should be asking the children this question since it's
they who are going to be most affected by this.

Answer 1

attaboy Booboo
here is some more amunition

i send everybody who cares or who wants to know or who does not believe ,this mesage


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.

: i have seen lands that have been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of years ,because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture,and i have seen rivers dry up because of deforrestation in many places in Africa and Mexico ,

i live now by the side of a river in Mexico where,in 30 years 5 species of fish have become exstinct .
and part of the year the river is dry this is for longer every year because of over use of water by agriculture and as a result of deforrestation.

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

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

Answer 2

there is not too much continuing debate as to whether or not the earth is warming, although some scientists will tell you it is in a cooling phase, but the debate rages over whether the cause is man made or part of a natural cycle of warming and cooling that has occurred since the earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago. that said, it seems to me that there should be incontravertable evidence for any position that would alter or change the way economies thrive especially on such a massive scale as the kyoto accords would require for example, in order to affect the kind of change that global warming alarmists demand. that kind of proof has not been proffered as of yet despite what you hear in the media and until it is i think it rather foolish to run around willy-nilly changing things for changes sake.

Answer 3

You have to establish several things before you can consider changing public policy regarding CO2 production.

Is it contributing to global warming?

Is global warming a bad thing?

Is public policy capable of affecting CO2 output to any degree?

Below is an interview of a respected atmospheric physicist. You should read it whether you believe him or not so you understand the platform that the skeptics are standing on. We aren't skeptical because we hate the planet or because we own oil stocks.

Answer 4

Check your data ,your CO2 is nothing near where it should be because the plants and photosynthesis is doing a great job.
Then there os the fake problem with methane ,where is it I bet u cant find it. Methane is very light so it goes very high in our atmosphere ,how do the environmentalist measure it. They didn't they got their no. out of a hat. If the gas is not there neither is global warming. Quit scarring people!!!

Answer 5

I think most people accept that Global warming exists - the body of evidence from all sorts of sources is overwhelming.

What is in dispute is whether this is an entirely natural phenomenon, entirely man-made or a combination of the two.

It is known that the Earth undergoes periodical fluctuations in average temperature due to a whole range of factors including small variations in the Earth's orbit, changes in solar radiation levels, etc. At times the Earth has been much warmer than it is today - 60+ million years ago Antartica was in roughly the position on the Earth's surface that it is today yet it was covered in lush vegitation and populated by dinosaurs.

It seems most likely that Global Warming is the result of BOTH natural and man-made influences. What is in dispute is the relative influence of each. What is certain is that Global Warming will have a considerable impact on future generations - not all the changes will necessarily be bad but we can expect widespread flooding in coastal and low-lying areas and increased storm activity and more extreme weather.

It therefore makes sense to reduce as far as possible any man-made influence on Global Warming in order to keep the adverse effects to a minimum as far as possible. This is in any event a sensible approach as most strategies to reduce Global Warming will also have other benefits for ourselves and future generations, such as:-
+ cleaner air and less polluted rivers and seas (this will reduce incidence of disease such as cancer and asthma)

+ husbanding of finite natural resources (otherwise future generations will be handicapped by lack of resources because we will have used them already)

+ preserving habitat and biodiversity (not only are the huge variety of species on this planet here for our enjoyment, many have proved to be important sources of new medicines and other discoveries that benefit mankind). Preserving rainforests, for example, will reduce Global Warming but will also mean that many potentially beneficial species continue to survive. The answerer who regards moss as insignificant has his head buried in the sand - or somewhere equally as dark - moss has natural healing properties that assist in blood clotting and wound healing and may yet yield useful medical aids to surgery or trauma treatment. An "insignificant" little frog in South America was the source of curare which is an essential element in virtually every single surgical operation now conducted. The "insignificant" bark of a not very interesting tree (the willow) yielded aspirin which is now used as a pain killer and a medication to prevent heart attacks. Deciding that a species is insignificant is naive in the extreme.

Answer 6

this planet has been here for billions of years and has undergone many different changes
i dont think a few degres will have a damaging effect that will end all life on this planet
Mother earth has a way of evening things out
rain,floods.wildfire,hurricanes...etc.... are some of the planets way to correct these problems
the amount of heat raised by humans is minimal
i would be more concerned with industrial pollution that treaten our fresh water supplies

Answer 7

its simple.... we cannot change the climate of the planet so much that every thing would die. sure its getting warmer but by decimal fractions. people may die which is terrible but by god there will still be loads more. and if the planet was made inhabitable it would only be for a matter of time not for eternity. and wouln't short term warming not be followed by long term cooling?

Answer 8

What if you are wrong? How many people will starve due to economies collapsing under destructive environmental policies. I keep hearing how some insignificant species of moss "may" die out. I have never seen a study of an increase in available farm land.

Answer 9

There is no question of global warming, the question is whether humans are to blame or not.
