Global warming?

Question

I know the common belief is that we are responsible for the acceleration of global warming, and I don't disagree that there's a LOT that we need to do to clean up our act. But throughout earth's history, the global climate has shifted back and forth between periods of warmth and ice ages and has yet to reach equilibrium (and maybe it never does, maybe it's just always in flux). So how do we even know what average global climate we're supposed to be preserving?

Answer 1

there is no question that the earth is in a warming cycle, but it has yet to be determined with any exclusive scientific evidence that is has been caused by man.

the liberals are blowing this out of proportion and is another one of their hoaxes to try and make us feel guilty and then put tons of restrictions on us and raise our taxes

Answer 2

I don't know whether it's true or not. Personally, I don't believe it is. But lets assume for the sake of argument it is. We are trying to do what, fix it to save future generations? Well, I think if that means passing more laws that take away civil liberties, or make people more dependent on the government screw that. I say if there is anything we need to work on preserving for future generations, it's freedom. Right now in America, and GB for that matter, there is a rising police state and we need to stand up and put a stop to it. Or one day we will live in tyranny. I would rather live in a crappy environment and be free than live in a great environment and be a government slave any day.

Answer 3

From ice core samples we have a record of the Earth's atmosphere and temperature for 400,000 years. Indeed there is a natural cycle of warm and cold climate change. We do know that we were in an interglaccial period which means a warmer period of growth and gradual warming.

What happens after global warming...you guessed it, ice age. But not before that warming period in which storms are expected to be more intense, climate becomes less predicable, precipitation comes all at once or not all all and generally all human economic endeavors are thrown into flux and instability since they are ultimately environment-based.

We are turning up the heat on an established cycle and do not know the effects.

Answer 4

We're not trying for some ideal climate.

We're simply trying to reduce man's alteration of the climate, that, left unchecked, will caue massive coastal flooding and serious damage to agriculture all around the world. We're not going to stop the trend (we can't) we're hopefully going to try to reduce the damage.

Global climate has shifted but....

This change is unusually large and fast, which is some of the mountain of data saying that it's not natural.

Our advanced civilization with major investments in coastal structures and intensive agriculture, is very vulnerable to this particular rapid change.

Answer 5

in case you want to receive furnish money for climate analyze, do you imagine that you receives a cheque in case you assert," i favor the furnish, as i imagine that i visit teach that the figures that the present paradigm is depending upon are incorrect" ? the great environmentalist, David Bellamy, has been silenced, and refused airtime. there remains no shown causative link between the quantity of Co2 in the ambience, and a upward push in international temperatures. The WWWF pictures of the polar bears swimming were taken in the Arctic summer season; even as the ice cap partly melts, as they couldn't upward push as a lot as photo in the iciness. The ice replaced into too thick! The East-Anglian uni analyze figures. "Oh! The figures do not tournament our expectancies. Oh nicely. shop quiet. because all of us be conscious of that we are proper." even as the perception, and the religion is more advantageous major than squarely dealing with the valid doubts of fairly some non furnish-supported scientists, technological information has been superceded with assistance from non secular zealots. As Oliver Cromwell colourfully suggested." I pray thee, in the bowels of Christ, evaluate that thou mayest be incorrect."

Answer 6

at the rate that the earth is heating, millions upon millions upon billions of organisms will deteriorate under the heat and extreme weather of global warming. yes, it's true that the earth went through many stages of hot and cold climates, but none as quickly and dramatically as this. Plants like corn and wheat etc. may run out because of drought or extreme ice age freezing. the melting of the caps could cause the warm currents in the north atlantic to cool, causing basically all of europe to freeze. an inconvienent truth explains all of this really well.

Answer 7

Me i think global warming is a myth!!! i mean 200 yrs ago they were saying a new ice age was coming....wrong. and scientists say that when the dinosaurs roamed the earth that is was a tropical place.....well then it must have changed because we have the artic and antarctic. so i just think that the world could just be going through a stage and it could be over by tommorow or a billion years from now!!

Answer 8

It makes no difference ,we cannot fix it because we don't understand how to fix it. Then there are 6 billion people that don't trust or desire to understand. So even if we understood how we cannot get it done. The Moslem's want to kill u so do u think they would do something to help.

Answer 9

20 years ago the average time to get sunburn was about 20 to 30 minutes during summer months in Australia.
Now it is less than 10 minutes.
The ozone layer works like sunglasses and as it gets thinner and holes appear we burn more.
The climate changes you mention should take place over thousands of years not 20.

Answer 10

Global warming exists only because some jerk said so, much like the links between cancer and smoking, i have yet to see proof of either.
