global warming?

Question

so i need your opinions
what can we do about these factors affecting global warming?
population
scientific/technological advances
the way we think

i cant think of anything

hmm i really do believe that global warming exists
I respect Al Gore and his work
so if u have no opinions on what i asked then dont answer with a "its doesnt exist or blah blah its bull"

Answer 1

Give it it's due attention. In other words, ignore it.

Go share some koolaid with Al Gore.

Answer 2

I would like to answer the actual questions you asked, but unfortunately I can't because your fundamental root statement is flawed. So ... even though you probably won't have an open enough mind to read a few facts ... here are a few things you should research at least a little bit before you "drink Global Warming Kool-aid".

OK ... here is the one incontrovertible fact ... in the last 100 years the Earth has gotten warmer ... by one degree. So it is true that the Earth is warmer (very slightly) today than 100 years ago ... but there is zero evidence to support that it has been created by man.

All the rest of what Gore said in the "inconvenient Truth" was misinformation or outright lies. Let's look at a few more facts.

Every 1,500 years the Earth naturally goes through a warming period. This has happened many times in the past. During the time of the Dinosaurs there were virtually no glaciers or ice on the plant Earth ... but ... eventually the Earth went through a cooling cycle and they reformed.

Gores "megachart" in the movie is inaccurate. He uses this chart to show that when CO2 rises ... the temperature rises. But the actual data shows it is the other way around. The temperature of the Earth rises and then CO2 levels rise.

Plant life actually flourishes in high CO2 environments. If plants could speak ... they'd say "bring it on .... more CO2 ... more CO2"

Evidence shows the Glaciers and Ice Caps on Mars are also melting ... why? Because solar activity that is increasing the temperature on Earth ... is also increasing the temperature on our near neighbor Mars. And last time I checked ... there weren't any humans or cars or factories on Mars.

And perhaps the biggest reason ... Al Gore is a hypocrite of Global Proportions. He jumps in his huge jet flying around and contributing massive amounts of pollution and CO2 to the atmosphere. Wastes more energy in one month in just one of his houses than a typical American family uses in a year and all of a sudden he's a good guy because he produces an ignorant movie based on supposition and supports wind power. This is a classic example of do what I say ... but I'll do whatever the heck I please.

Global Warming caused by man is a farce.

Answer 3

Man made Global warming is more hype than Science.

Here is why:

Earth's 4.5 billion year history is one long story of climate change. This fact is pretty much accepted by those who think global warming is a natural process, and those who think it's caused by man.

In more recent history there has been: a mini ice age in the seventeenth century when the Thames froze so solidly that fairs could regularly be held on the ice; a Medieval Warm Period, even balmier than today; and sunnier still was the so-called Holocene Maximum, which was the warmest period in the last 10,000 years.

Those who think global warming is a natural process point to the fact that in the last 10,000 years, the warmest periods have happened well before humans started to produce large amounts of carbon dioxide.

A detailed look at recent climate change reveals that the temperature rose prior to 1940 but unexpectedly dropped in the post-war economic boom, when carbon dioxide emissions rose dramatically.

There is some evidence to suggest that the rise in carbon dioxide lags behind the temperature rise by 800 years and therefore can't be the cause of it.

In the greenhouse model of global warming, heat from the sun's rays is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. If it weren't for these gases, Earth would be too cold for life.

Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun within the earth's atmosphere. This is the greenhouse effect. Traditional models predict that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases lead to runaway heating.

If greenhouse warming were happening, then scientists predict that the troposphere (the layer of the earth's atmosphere roughly 10-15km above us) should heat up faster than the surface of the planet, but data collected from satellites and weather balloons doesn't seem to support this.

Those who think global warming is a natural process say that the troposphere is not heating up because man-made greenhouse gases are not causing the planet to heat up.

For some people, the final nail in the coffin of human-produced greenhouse gas theories is the fact that carbon dioxide is produced in far larger quantities by many natural means: human emissions are miniscule in comparison. Volcanic emissions and carbon dioxide from animals, bacteria, decaying vegetation and the ocean outweigh our own production several times over.

Others would argue that carbon dioxide isn't the only greenhouse gas and that human emissions could tip up a finely balanced system.

New evidence shows that that as the radiation coming from the sun varies (and sun-spot activity is one way of monitoring this) the earth seems to heat up or cool down. Solar activity very precisely matches the plot of temperature change over the last 100 years. It correlates well with the anomalous post-war temperature dip, when global carbon dioxide levels were rising.

In fact, what is known of solar activity over the last several hundred years correlates very well with temperature. This is what some scientists are beginning to believe causes climate change. Others feel that solar activity only explains the fine details of temperature change.

So how does the sun affect the earth's temperature? The process scientists suggest is that as earth moves through space, the atmosphere is constantly bombarded by ever-present cosmic rays. As these particles hit water vapour evaporating from the oceans, clouds form in the atmosphere. Clouds shield Earth from some of the sun's radiation and have a cooling effect

When solar activity is high, there is an increase in solar wind and this has the effect of reducing the amount of cosmic radiation which reaches Earth.

Answer 4

Popultion: nothing can be done.

Technologly: May be the only viable solution to stopping Global warming.

The way we think?: Caring more about the environment should always be on the top of everyones mind especially with the new industrial revolutions going on in India & China.

Answer 5

The electric car. There are many models that will be produced in other countries. Google electric car & see. There's one that runs on water, I heard, being developed and the best was the air car! No kidding. From France, I think. We need to push for these.

I hope someday I'll drive the air car-just love that. Imagine how just air taxies would clean up our air!

Girl, you're right-the silly debate doesn't matter. Doing what's good for us, the planet, the air is the right thing.

Answer 6

First, experts vehemently disagree over whether "warming" even exists, and if it does, whether or not it is a man created trend. Weather patterns cycle over decades and centuries and to say that man has created the problem is only a hypothesis and unproven. It is true we should work on ways to pollute less and improve technology to drive more gas efficient cars, etc.. but doing so will have little to no effect on the supposed 'warming' trend. Global warming, in my opinion, is more a political platform/agenda to manipulate policy, than a issue based in reality.

Answer 7

Global warming is completely natural. It has nothing to do with carbon dioxide and the whole thing with global warming being man-made is just a propaganda.

Answer 8

I wish we could prevent eartquakes from coming because in 20 years florida or californa will fall of and we will only have 49 states as I do recall.

Answer 9

We cant really do anything much to stop global warming. Its a natural process that earth goes through.

Answer 10

start easy and work your way up.

Start with something as easy as recycling... the other creative ideas will eventually come to you. Dont force these ideas to present themselves, or else they wont be as great as u want them to be.

Other people need to be more like you.

:D
