why does AI Gore think that climate change is such an important issue?

Question

i just need this answer because AI Gore was talking about Global warming..

Answer 1

well...IT IS. GLOBAL WARMING IS HAPPENING!!!
but i wouldnt worry to much about it
less than 1% is actually caused by us and scientists agree with this statement
it is widely regarded that volcanoes under the sea and everywhere on the planet release 10 as much polution caused by us in 1 day in one reaction
thats rite 10 x per reaction
plus it is a natural cycle so it was gonna happen eventually
al gore is a bit of a drama queen tho

Answer 2

It's not only Al Gore, its most of the world. He believes that Climate Change is such an important issue because he (and the rest of us) would like a place for us and our children to live in fifty years or so. At the current rate of pollution.... We might not have fifty more years. Watch "An Inconvenient Truth". Great movie and it will explain your answer is GREAT detail. Have a great day

Answer 3

Al Gore is an environmentalist from way back. He has researched the situation and has read what scientists have been telling all of us. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is rising, and the Earth's average temperature is rising with it. As this continues we will see many environmental consequences. It's a hugely important issue to anyone who cares about the future of life on Earth.

Who should be most concerned about global warming? Young people are going to be affected far more than older people are.

Answer 4

Watch his movie , "An Inconvenient Truth".
That'll tell you why Al Gore (if you're only interested about HIS opinion) thinks that global warming is such an issue.
I myself don't fully believe everything he says about the causes of global warming,but he's probably right about the long term effects.
He's right about a number of the consequences of global warming,but the jury is still out when it comes down to whether or not humankind is the main factor these days.

Answer 5

Because climate changes affects us in a lot of ways, more than terrorism or other stuff. We're wasting the planet, and making climate changes that affect living things that we need to live (both to feed, to shelter, and to sustain, like flock).

Also, if the earth get's warmer, ice will melt faster than it takes to freeze, so it will raise the sea level, and take big parts of cities with it. It can overwhelm our capabilities to adapt to change.

And it's not something that is easy to fix. It's not something you can put 50 scientist in a room, feed them pizzas and cokes and expect them to come up with a solution in 3 months. It will affect how we consume resources, what we buy, etc..

Answer 6

climate change is important to Al Gore because it is a sign of global warming and could doom us all.

Answer 7

Because he thinks its the ticket in. I got the BIG ticket items...

I got news for him we need some major sex offender laws passed in this country, get the illegals outta here, (crime rate will drop), welfare and services to help citizens in a bind will improve because there will be less bloodsucking off the system.

And tighten the damn borders and our security. They come here and many have no respect for our laws and refuse to assimilate. Learn the language like my people did, jump the right hoops and become a citizens, if you like it so much here, dammit WORK for the right to stay here.

Sorry for the tangent, just feel there are more pressing issues.

Answer 8

Because global warning is a very important issue.

Answer 9

Global warming is a huge issue. The pollution and hole in the ozone will kill us all if nothing is done about it.

Answer 10

he is not the only one millions of other people also think its important ,and many thousands have already been affected
Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text is limited to effects of people in the country,industrial effects on the environment and the internal combustion engine as well as the over all effects of cities ,is another story

climate change is caused principally by desertification ,and most desertification is caused by man
the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions

MANS EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT


DEFORESTATION

in the past
the Building of the Spanish Armada deforrested Spain
the Phoenician trading fleet turned Lebanon in a dessert
Ganges Khan put everything to the sword and torch, then filled the wells with sand,
the sun finished of the job and whole countries turned to wastelands.
He would have been envious of the effects of modern day farming.Slash and burn destroys the protective vegetation (which helps to form the soil ),
leaving it open to the Sun ,and then ,wind and, water erosion.
The Plough turns the soil ,killing micro-biotic life (essential to soil building) and accelerates the drying out .
Pressures of the :vehicles, cattle and rain impact brings the salt to the surface.

Mono cultures ,aided by chemicals Exhaust and pollutes the soil .
Adding to this the effects of overgrazing has resulted in large scale desertification.

expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's
clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years
the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.
TV put out a series of documentaries
there are campaigns in the News papers
and all of this has not made the slightest difference

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

ON THE GROUND
go to the countries on the equator ,check what has happened in history
and listen to what is going on in the many disaster areas on this planet today,(and there are more each year )

: 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 ,

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 and some have died as a result

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 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,


each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

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.
