What do you think about the future that awaits everyone?

Question

Pollution is starting to become a topic that concerns quite some people...as far as i'm informed because of pollution the globe is having much greater effects like the greenhouse effect....(when carbon dioxide isn't released and is trapped in Earth)...now we are experiencing major temperature changes...and according to meteorologists this might just get worse...they predict that the hurricane season will be affecting us more, and might even be more catastrophic than these previous years...i also found out through some research that other meteorologists expect there two be a third ice age leading Florida to reduce at about 50% of it's size....(plz correct me if i am mistaken at anythng)...what do you guys believe out of all of this? What do you think awaits us?

Answer 1

I deal with climate change every day and it's very refreshing to find someone who is open enough to admit they're not qualified to speak on the subject. You should give the 10 points to the previous answerer for her honesty.

To address the points you raised: What you've mentioned is fundementally correct but a couple of quick points - it's not so much that carbon dioxide is trapped but that levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have been increasing and it's these that are trapping heat within Earth's atmosphere.

Another ice age is highly unlikely. What many people don't realise (and there's no real reason they should) is that we're in a long term cycle and heading INTO an ice age. This has been with us for about 50 million years and throughout that time the long term temperature trend of the world has been one of COOLING. The current warming phase started 18,000 years ago and is nothing more than a blip in the long term cooling. The concern is that throughout all the time we have climate data for (more than half a billion years), the world has never undergone such rapid temperature changes as it's experiencing now.

One POSSIBILITY of global warming is that the cold meltwater running off from the Arctic and Greenland ice caps COULD interupt the Gulf Stream (North Atlantic Conveyor). IF this happens the countries bordering the north Atlantic will cool quite significantly, Cities such as London, which have a moderate year round climate, will experience conditions more akin to Moscow, it's only because of the warming effect of the Gulf Stream that London and the rest of northwestern Europe is as warm as it is.

Now, one thing that the media are often guilty of is sensationalising global warming. It won't be like a disaster movie with cities underwater and the world freezing over in a matter of days. Any changes will happen very slowly and over long periods of time. Sea levels are rising but by a matter of a few millimetres a year, temperatures are also rising but again by very small amounts each year. If sea levels continue to rise (and it's beleived they will) then large parts of Florida will be underwater, this is hundreds of years away. Florida isn't the only place that will be affected - all low lying areas will suffer and in the US this includes areas bordering the Gulf of Mexico and cities including Boston, New York, Charleston, Miami and New Orleans.

Some of the future effects of global warming COULD include... higher temperatures, rising sea levels, spread of diseases such as malaria, increased deaths from disease and heat related conditions, decreased deaths from cold related conditions, extinction of many species, threat to other species, increased in number and intensity of storms, droughts, floods, heatwaves, deforestation, insect infestation, loss of agricultural land, gaining of agricultural land, loss of some lakes and rivers, creating of other lakes and rivers, glacial retreat, arctic warming, increased power outages, marine food chain disruption, changes to bird migration patterns, more wildfires, erosion, desertification, disappearing beaches, damage to tundra regions, impact on ozone layer, insect infestation, threat to boreal forests, coastal erosion, threat to mountain environments, loss of wetland and marshland habitats, decline in bird population, thawing of permafrost, increased acidity of oceans, release of further greenhouse gases, increased allergens (asthma etc), coral destruction and bleaching, loss of ocean conveyor belts (Gulf Stream) etc, loss of Arctic sea ice, impact on winter sports.

Answer 2

there have already been four ice ages. i doubt there will be another one for a while. yes the summers have shown evidence to be getting hotter, but that doesn't mean it will continue. looking at graphs of past temperatures you will see that it fluctuates naturally, and there is no "hard" evidence that we are causing the earth to heat up. just computer simulations. but we don't understand the ecosystem nearly enough to know how to keep the earth on a constant thermostat between 55 deg F 60 deg F. We need more research that isn't corrupted by government lobbyists and political grants. I say: "Don't worry about it!"

Answer 3

because this worry is basically interior the ideas, I have been given to the ideas to make the replace. I ask what if? What if I finally end up greater proper than ever. What if that individual likes me as much as i like him/her? What if i hit upon the thank you to treatment this? What if my existence variations for the greater proper? What if I flow & fairly like the hot place greater proper than this place i think of i like lots? What if i flow to that social gathering & meet human beings I by no skill dreamed ought to be in this international reason they're so great? What if it doesn count how old i'm & each thing seems great besides?.....get the belief? I coach human beings & we try this alot with particular circumstances & that's a existence changing exercising...of path there are various different issues I advise they do additionally besides others exercises in reframing their ideas...we'd take all the fears, unfavorable ideas they have & think of of the main constructive issues that ought to take place somewhat & they could carry the hot information. on a peice of paper of their pocket till they actually felt non violent approximately existence interior the present 2nd this is the only place we've any means...i could advise they alter their existence so they're greater comfortable. exercising, yoga, eating a definite way, etc. there is lots you're able to do to stay a exhilaration-crammed existence so why stay any opposite direction.
