Why global warming is a big problem?

Question

Which countries are the most responsible for global warming?

Ecollogically, what do you think the world will look like in 50 years?

What do you feel that the U.S. Government can do?

Do you have any plans to contribute the earth ecollogically?

Answer 1

a) Global Warming has been attributed to natural and unnatural causes. The "unnatural causes" are caused by the following nations: China is by far the largest pollutant nation. It's economizing agenda has resulted in massive outputs of pollution. Other large Western Industrialized nations have relatively large emissions ie: USA, Germany, UK

b) at current rates in 50 years acid rain from pollution will devastate our plant life. Floods from shifts in oceanic currents will destroy every coastal city. Decaying O3 will allow for more UV radiation into the atmosphere. CO2 and O2 cycles will be imbalanced.
With 70-89% of plant life gone, devastation will work its way up the food web. Small forging animals and progressively larger predators will die out. Large numbers of extinctions of mammals would occur.

c) the best thing the US can do is to plead the UN to MANDATE all nations to cut pollutant emissions. If USA cuts its only, nations such as China will still be throwing billions of tons of pollution into the atmosphere annually.

d) recycle, lobby politicians , and spread the TRUTH*


* some years ago scientists were divided whether or not global warming was a problem. In recent years, the mainstream scientific community has acknowledge that global warming is in fact a problem and that human activity does in fact contribute to it. There are a few rouge scientists that believe such is not the case but that is always the case.

*alert, Ive read some other answers and there is a horrid misconception that "warmer is better."

Warmer climate, by as little as .9-1.1% will devaste delicate balances that have developed on the Earth. For one example take our melting icecaps. O
-ok the ice melts, coastal cities get flooded, whoop-di-doo. That is not all that happens. See, the ice caps are 99% freshwater. As they melt, millions - billions of tons of freshwater pour into our saline oceans. This reduction in salinity disrupts the oceanic currents. These currents directly affect the air above them. So as these currents are disrupted or halted, so too would our global trade winds. Weather would be radically disrupted and human civilization would be in utter ruin.

warmer is not better!

natural warmings have indeed occurred in the past, but these were all during times when only animals were on the Earth. Civilization was not present. Beneficial for biodiversity? Yes. Biodiversity is not an issue given that we are humans and humans are the Earth's dominant species.

Answer 2

I hope you might have seen the movie 'DAY AFTER TOMMOROW'. If you have not seen I will tell you what is global warming.
Global warming is a is phenomena in which ice caps melt due to the release of green house gases like CFC,CO.
Due to the melting of ice caps in polar regions there will be rise in the water level due to this the land areas may sink in water.Global warming causes many climatic changes. Countries that are responsible for global warming:
India
USA
China
Australia

Answer 3

There are fewer and much less scientists who believe interior the alarmist view. some human beings nonetheless carry out and say that human beings' effect on the climate is going to wreck existence by using warming up the floor some stages. The climate strikes in cycles, and we glance close to the tail end of a warming cycle. there are numerous questions we would desire to ask: a million) To what quantity is a warming sort taking place, and to what quantity is the warming sort "organic" vs "guy-made." 2) To what quantity is a warming sort a bad factor? this is been warmer than this interior the previous. (Antarctica wasn't constantly lined in ice. became it a extra perfect time whilst Chicago became lined with an ice sheet? Is an prolonged growing to be season one among those undesirable factor?) 3) whether mankind is inflicting a warming sort, is there something we are able to do approximately it? 4) If there is something we are able to do approximately it, what are the charges, what may well be the advantages, and what are the commerce-offs? (Are we extra perfect off spending our funds and materials on mitigating the undertaking, or in studying to outlive a incredibly warmer planet? How plenty spending might get us how plenty income?) in the past we choose for what to do, the undertaking ought to be became over to the economists. And the climatologists are not waiting to respond to the obtrusive questions from extensive kind 4. Complicating the medical question is that numerous anti-capitalist, and anti-American communities have jumped on board because of the fact they see this as a thank you to harm the US financial equipment. distant places government officers who're mis-dealing with their very own countrys' economies see this as a thank you to receive funds and funds transfers from Western countries. my own view is that mankind has an effect on the climate that is theorized, yet no longer measured because of the fact it is so small. we don't understand adequate to justify any intense action. for basically a fragment of what the alarmists might have us spend, we could furnish drinkable water to all of Africa.

Answer 4

I don't know that % of blame has been assigned to each country, however, it is known that the US consumes more gasoline, coal and natural gas per capital than other countries, so is a big contributor. That said, the US has made great strides in cleaning up emissions than many others (other than CO(2)).
CO2 is also contribited by Brazil and other dense rainforest countris as they claim land and remove CO2 filters, aka trees. CHina is growing fast, and dirty.
Everyone else contributs to it also...EVERY country with people that burn, consume, break wind and raise animals.

We can do little things to clean it up, but in my opinion, it is inevitible that the climate will change do to the overpopulation of the earth

Answer 5

It isn't a problem. The present global warming may be due to man made CO2 but I see no reason why its EFFECTS should be any different than past natural warmings, and those past warmings were beneficial to life in general.

Answer 6

that is 4 huge questions
you cant do that ask one at the time
each of these is a page long text

and if you check questions already asked you will see thousands of similar questions that have all been well answered

i will answer the last one



check my best answers ,that is what i do here ,

and i talk to farmers about sustainble farming,water harvesting ,reforestation and organic pest control

to kids i talk about Environmental awareness

and i have made some parks and a lot of gardens

until recently i was working for a department of ecology for a Mexican municipality ,and before that on a citizens council to clean up and protect a large catchment area of a river

And in the garden where i sit now we have a lot of visitors to whom we sell the idea that nature is our friend
