somebody wrote that we are jackasses to believe al gore. well you have some explaining to do.?

Question

?#1 so you think that global warming is not caused by man,
?#2 so you think burning fossil fuels and making CARBON DIOXIDE DOESN*T EXSIST.
?#3 do greenhouse gasses cause floods sunamis flooding, migration of birds animals, the melting of the largest land of ice, greenland, polar bears drowning, katrina disater sooo sad. you tell me what causes all this jackasses, if you say it is not global warming. green house gasses, and that Al gore doen*t know what he is talking about.
please anwser my questions.

Answer 1

Well, Al gore is not a scientist but, yes the earth is warming but there's no proof we are causing it. The output of the sun has gone up .2% in the last 40 years and Mars and Pluto are heating up...are we causing that ???

Gore says the seas will rise 20 feet in 32 years; the science community says one foot in a few centuries. He also stands to make a fortune from all his companies that will help you green. I trus the scientific community much more than him and his ego.

Answer 2

I think man can help a little what with all this fossil fuel thing. We have about fifty years to think, though.

Yes, burning fossil fuels exists, and they do make carbon dioxide. Guess what? There's this fantastic organism they call a plant. Do you know what plants do? They take the carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into oxygen. Wow, it's AMAZING.


Now, onto your other questions.

Tsunamis are created by earthquakes, not extra water. It's a wall of water, not a massive raindrop.

Birds have migrated for thousands of years to escape the cold. Buffalo move to graze in new spots because they ate all the grass at their old spot. Salmon go upriver. It's normal.

The Earth has ICE AGES, which are when the Earth gets very cold. Then it heats up. The Earth is coming out of an ice age, which means it's getting warmer. Did you know that the dinosaurs had very warm weather? Not too many fossil fuels burning then. Most of Earth's history didn't even include the ice caps.

Polar bears can swim and they have land, no? Dirt doesn't melt last time I checked.

Before this big greenhouse gas issue, there was Hurricane Camille in 1969. It was a category 5 hurricane that ravaged the Mississippi. Yeah, stronger than Katrina. Hurricanes are natural.

Have fun proving me wrong, because everything I just said is scientifically right and agreed upon by many scientists.

Answer 3

#1: Yes, I think global warming is not caused by man. The earth has been warming and cooling for its entire 4.5 billion year history. Ice core data temperature reconstructions show that the earth has been warmer as recently as 400 years ago, and that the rate of warming and cooling in the recent past was alot greater than the 0.6*C rise that occured over the past century. (See attached link for ice core study.)

#2: No, I think fossil fuel burning and making carbon dioxide does exist. Of course, I also know that carbon dioxide exists WITHOUT fossil fuel burning. It had better, or plant life would cease to exist.

#3: No, greenhouses gases DO NOT cause tsunamis, earthquakes cause tsunamis. No, greenhouse gases DO NOT cause migration of birds, seasonal changes cause migration of birds - they fly "south" for the winter. No, greenhouse gases are not causing melting of the largest land of ice (which is antarctica, by the way, not greenland.) In fact, antarctica is in a cooling trend, and the ice mass is getting larger. No, greenhouse gases do not cause polar bears to drown. Last time I checked, polar bears know how to swim, and can swim for hundreds of miles. No, the katrina disaster was not caused by greenhouse gases, it was caused by a hurricane and by poor engineering of the levees around New Orleans. Of course hurricanes existed before "man made global warming" and will continue to exist forever. They were more frequent and stronger in the 1940s (when greenhouse gases were at lower levels than now) than they are now. A larger and more destructive hurricane struck Galveston, TX in 1900 and killed more than 12,000 people. According to the IPCC report, the earth was in a cooling trend in 1900, and was about 0.7*C cooler than today. So was global warming responsible for that disaster? I don't think so.

If you want to believe that the seas are going to rise by 20 feet in the next 50 years like Al Gore has suggested, or that global warming is causing more and stronger hurricanes, despite the fact that larger and more destructive hurricanes existed before global warming, you may not be a jackass, but you're probably a little too gullible.

Answer 4

1. Nope...Not caused...Helped ...but NOT caused. Let me think. How about the dinosaurs. So you not think that they outputted a large amount of methane over the years that they were here?

2. Nope. It does. I agree with that statement. I think that the Governments of the World should put something together, if this whole thing is correct, like the Manhattan Project to get the World off fossil fuel. Then there is a reason to do it.

The earth has been doing the warm up and cool down thing for about 4 Billion years. Man has not helped it but Mother Nature has her ways of surviving. And she will after we are long gone from this planet. I think that man kind should take much better care of the planet, but I personally think that Mr. Gore is a bit out of his league and not totally thinking in the big picture.

Answer 5

Karen, I think you have some explaining to do as well, especially as to where you learned the English(?) used in your third question.

Answer 6

all i seen so far with the global warming is that it SNOWED MOST OF THE DAY YESTERDAY IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE U.S.

Answer 7

al gore is a tennesee jack!
