Why so much attention to the causes of global warming? We still need a solution?

Question

Abu: We make attempts to control nature sometimes. Example: flood control on the Mississippi. Unfortunately, this has led to loss of wetlands, but it is an example of man's attempt to control a natural process.

Answer 1

There isn't a solution for the Earth going through it's natural cycle.

Answer 2

Let's keep this simple: If it isn't man-made, then there isn't a man-made 'solution' either. In other words, if CO2 emissions don't *cause* global warming, then curtailing them WON'T SOLVE IT.

There's also a very legitimate question whether global warming *needs* any kind of 'solution.' The Medieval Warming and Holocene Maximum featured global temperatures higher than Gore is predicting for 2100; yet mankind did not perish, there were no famines (in fact farming prospered), the ice caps didn't melt, the polar bears survived, and Florida did not sink under the water.

Forgive me if I'm a little skeptical of all the hysteria this time.

Answer 3

Knowing and understanding the cause of something gives us a starting point to look for the solution.

Today we know exactly what climate change is all about, and what fuels it. We do not know how to stop or prevent it. We do know that less of the pollution that is fueling climate change will be good, but how to undo what's been done is not so clear. That's why we need more attention to the causes of climate change.

Answer 4

How do you stop the earth from warming? Why are the rest of the planets warming? Anyone got the key to the thermostat on the sun? Yes, we need a solution and I'm open for one. But I'm not open to being scammed by a bunch of politicians looking to rip off the people of this planet for monetary gain.

Answer 5

Can't we all just do what we can to be enviornmentally responsible? I suspect this issue is being over-trumpeted by a bunch of politicians who are looking out for THEIR best interests, not the enviornments. It really is getting rediculous and tiresome. We need to take a look at the people who are constantly jamming this down our throats and read deeper into their hidden agenda.

Answer 6

Some of the solution is to reduce the amount of harmful levels of normal emissions from burning matter that produces an increase in the co2 levels .
This is a start and much more can be done to accomplish this .

Answer 7

We should not be looking for ways to fight global warming. It's a natural cycle, we hould be looking for ways to mitigate the effects.

Answer 8

Maybe we could get rid of all the volcanos. They seem to spew alot of crap into the air. We should start a protest.....then when the volcano erupts because it is sick of all the protesters leaving their garbage all over the place it will eliminate.......oh, never mind.

Answer 9

political move,and no we do not need to plan a solution to a natural cycle of the planet,just think carbon credits,,,sweeet...cheers freepress

Answer 10

because in the future in the next 20 years or so, the earth will be so warm and hot. that is going to be a problem especially when there are billions and billions of people living on earth..if not trillions. Therefore we should be concerned because if this does not affect us it will affect our descendants.
