Who thinks global warming is a big issue???

Question

I think global warming is getting out of hand, do you?

Answer 1

Not an issue to me.

It just means more summer and less winter

Answer 2

This seems like two questions, and I'll answer the second first.

Global warming is getting out of hand. Melting polar ice caps, more and worse hurricanes (the US had it easy last year, not so the rest of the world) deserts spreading and climates changing. Yes it's getting out of hand.

If, on the other hand, you mean that you think the reaction to global warming is getting out of hand, you are entirely wrong. It's a very real problem which is going to get worse. People, in general, aren't paying enough attention to it. It's actually the most important thing happening today.

Very, very few climatologists, biologists or meteorologists disagree with the basic fact that greenhouse gasses have increased in the atmosphere and that this has been very closely paralleled by an increase in atmospheric temperature. That the burning of fossil fuels is almost entirely to blame for that increase is also well established.

Now your first question: Who thinks global warming is a big issue? Every single creditable scientist who has studied the problem, every engineer and every layman who doesn't wish to deny the obvious.

I suspect a political bias in your question, since I have seen your posts in other areas of the Internet. I wonder how many dead polar bears it will take to convince you and those like you that global warming is real, it's deadly serious and it's not going to go away just because some of us choose to ignore it.

Answer 3

(Where did Centurion get 1/10th of a degree?)

There are changes occurring now that are happening far faster than could happen if we weren't causing this. Also, the vast majority of scientists of this planet agree that this is a real and immediate threat to life as we know it, and possibly to all life. Only the scientists that are employed by large corporations that are making money from the things causing the problem are saying that there is no problem.

So, yes, I believe there is a very real problem on our planet and if we don't get a grip soon, we may all be gone in a very short amount of time.

By the way, haven't seen Gore's movie. But I have lived a long time. I know how to reason and how to look for evidence of what is actually going on, and there is a whole lot going on that our government and big business are denying.

Answer 4

Yes! Gobal warming is getting out of hand and our hands are the ones that caused most of it, 90% by the latest findings.
Are you willing to turn your back on all the findings made by over 2000 scientists the world over? Did you also know that Canada, Denmark, Russia, and US of A, to mention a few, are now buying up land that is appearing in the Artic area (due to melting ice) because of all the natural gas and other valuable resources? That is a fact! It's all about money honey.
A new artic crossing is even being planned for ships in the near future, due to melting ice ways, that would have been impossible a few years ago.
So is this gobal warming thing getting out of hand or a big issue? Yup! And we can all point our little fingers at ourselves for it.
So, if you still don't believe it's going to happen then don't worry about what your kids or grand kids will do with their future and when they get old enough to figure things out they will know who tried to do something and who didn't.
What list do you want to be on?

Answer 5

Our scientists think they know everything, and will try to convince you that they do. We know nothing. How could we know enough about our earth that we could predict this? How complicated is the earth? Very complicated. We are little living organisms on a huge spinning complex globe of rock and water. Us knowing everything about the Earth will never happen, so Global Warming is just a little excuse or conclusion we've come up with because of SOME changes. It's quite funny really.

These changes are just showing up over a span of 15 years? How long has the world been around? Billions of years?

Answer 6

Unfortunately it's a huge issue. The temp has risen considerably and what's most troubling is the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It's very conclusive evidence when you take ice cores dating back many thousands of years and see the CO2 level wasn't even close to what it is now.

I'm on the fence politically, but I refuse to ignore very good evidence just because it may raise taxes. I find it incredible that some people completely debunk the evidence and at the same time perpetuate religious views that by their nature cannot be proven.

I apply the same logic here that I do to terrorism... Pre-emption. Would you rather spend some money and be wrong or save some money and have your grandchildren suffer from huge droughts, storms or worse?

Simple as that to me...

Answer 7

I think that global warming is a very big issue! If we keep it up our kids and their kids and so on are going to live in a living nightmare! If you want to learn more about what global warming is really doing to our earth, you should watch the movie "An inconvenient truth" very informative and scary about what can come ahead in the future.

Answer 8

A lot of it is just propaganda. In the 70's they same group of people were saying that a new ice age was starting. There is a reason why Gore and the others won't debate the issue and is because there is a lot of holes in their arguments. "An Inconvenient Truth" is propaganda in the Micheal Moore mode. And Moore is well known for the half truths and out right lies in his films.The Sun is putting out more energy and that is causing some of the warming. They try to say that the Sun has no affect. If that is true , why is the poplar caps on Mars melting? It is a way for them to try and control people, remember it was Tipper Gore who started the whole record ratings thing.

Answer 9

I think the hysteria and media hype about global warming is getting out of hand.

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

After Al Gore's speech to congress, various scientists commented and said he was giving unrealistic extreme facts. He says that the oceans will rise 20 feet in 32 years; they say a foot in about 3 centuries and on and on and on. Of course, he fails to say that unless you believe what he says and spend lots of money to fix it, his companies go belly up.
