Global Warming!?

Question

do you agree that global warming is the bigget global issues we have? if you agree, can you help me with the main 3 topics why this is a big problem throughout the whole world?

Answer 1

Yes, well actually depends if you believe GW is really happening. But I do believe it is happening.

some animals are becoming extinct.

Answer 2

From 1931 to 1939 the temperature was hotter than it is now. Sone of the highest temperatures ever recorded was in 1936. It got so hot and dry that the Midwest dried up and blew away. The eastern states was covered in a dust cloud. Al Gore hadn’t invented global warming so they called it the “ GREAT DUST BOWL. “ Have anyone seen the Midwest coming by your door?

Don't fall for all the global warming doom and gloom stories. Man has been predicting environmental doom for decades. Remember Erlich's Population Bomb. The world was supposed to be plunged into worldwide famine back in the 80's. Billions were supposed to die off because the planet could not sustain us. Did it happen? Al Gore claims to be an expert but never presents factual scientific evidence to support his claims.

No less than 4 times in the past century has the media sounded the alarm about climate change. First it was global cooling, then global warming, then cooling again, now warming again. Do you sense a pattern here? We go through cooling and warming cycles, and the media jumps on it and tries to scare the hell out of us. The global temperature has been cooling since 1998. In about 10-15 more years, the alarmist media will notice that we are going through another cooling cycle, and sound the alarm again about global cooling.

Also realize that some 'greenies' want to limit the use of fuels to inhibit 'green house gases' - this means that coal and petroleum will not be allowed. Yet they don't propose any alternatives. Nearly all the electrical energy produced in this country is generated by coal and fossil fuels.

The current plans of the extreme environmentalist will destroy the economy and liveable conditions in this country. Yet, there is no attempt to make China and India reduce carbon emissions, just the current industrialized nations, especially the USA. China and India are two of the greatest polluters.
Is the climate changing, yes, do we know why? Probably not, because ever time a true scientist presents research that the greenies disagree with or it doesn't fit their agenda, attempts are made to discredit the scientist and his research.

Answer 3

I don't think it's as serious as some would have you to think it is... Now there is a call for Al Gore to stop all his hype:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/13/science/13gore.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

If you look up any global temperature chart on the net, you'll find the earth's temperature has only increased by about 6/10 of one degree (C) - that's 1.1 degree (F), in the last 125 years. So yes, the globe is warming up, but it's not overheating like some would have you to believe. http://data.giss.nasa.gov:80/gistemp/2005/2005cal_fig1.gif

The latest research shows that the methane from cows and pigs is a major factor in the increase of "heat trapping gas". It's actually 23 times more potent as a heat trapping gas than is carbon dioxide. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/campaigns/climate-change/science/other_gases
According to the newest UN report on Global Warming, "Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together." http://news.independent.co.uk:80/environment/article2062484.ece

So if Al Gore and all the alarmists really want to do something about climate change, they MUST become vegetarians and shut down cow and pig farms. I mean seriously, if they truly believe that global warming is as disastrous as they are preaching then they need to stop eating meat, period! I seriously doubt that will happen. If not, then they are the hypocrites that some of us already suspect they are.

Also Al Gore preaches to you to conserve, but he does not practice it himself. He uses 20 times more energy in his Nashville mansion than the national average. http://www.tennesseepolicy.org/main/article.php?article_id=367
One thing he has not learned is that you MUST practice what you preach... at some point you will get caught as he has.

Answer 4

I do indeed.

People need to step back from this issue and start looking at the science. I don't care if, in the end, they decide that AGW is real and a threat or not. I simply demand that anyone who wishes to be taken seriously on this issue use science and only science as their source of information. I'm getting so tired of all the whacked out hack jobs like out there Rush Limbaugh trying to sell the idea that this thing is some sort of huge conspiracy that it's really not funny anymore.

In fact, I've taken to labeling anyone who doesn't stick solely to science when discussing this issue as 'irrelevant'. And I simply ignore them after that.

Answer 5

i saw a show on discovery channel, global warming is rated the biggest threat to make us extinct. this is a huge threat because all of the CO2 that is being produced in our factories is going into the atmosphere and keeping the heat from the sun in the atmosphere. because the heat is staying, this is causing the planet to heat up. eventually, (it is unpredictable how long it will take) the polar ice caps will melt and will flood all of the land near the ocean. Which will obviously make the land uninhabitable. But the inward lands arent safe either because they will become extremely hot and arid, which will make it imposible for us to live there too. THere are ways we will be able to live after the effects of global warming.... but why? when we can live happily on a beautiful earth.

Answer 6

I TOTALLY AGREE! Three reasons why:
1. We are running out of natural resources (Oil) and we won't possibly be at the level we need to with alternative sources of fuel before we run out!
2. With all the Ice Caps melting, that coldness goes into our ocean and changes the patterns and such. THat is why we have recently seen so many severe storms such as Katrina. And I think it is only going to get worse.
3. It is going to get so extremely hot outside that I bet a lot of animals will become extinct and it will throw off EVERYTHING!!! That food chain will be screwed up and then everything on Earth would go extinct because it will be inhabitable.

Answer 7

this is a big problem throughout the whole world because the world will go through another ice age if it isnt stopped, species are going extinct because spring is coming earlier, polar bears are dying while swimming in the oceans because the ice is melting, and it is producing more diseases.

Answer 8

its totally a big deal because if we dont avoid it we wil drown the whole earth.Global warming is caused by a hole in the Ozone Layer which is in in ANTARCTICA!!!if all the ice in antarctica well drown all people!!

Answer 9

Global warming is huge...and we cause it and don't do enough to stop it. Did you know that the polar bears will be gone in less than 50 years? We can't go out in the sun as we did 30 years ago...it is happening fast...too fast!

Answer 10

No, it's not a big deal.
Why is it a big problem? The Chicken Little Syndrome which causes paranoid delusions of death by imaginary causes. liberals. Junk science. Public gullibility to believe outlandish claims made by CLS sufferers.
