global warming?

Question

are we really gonna die in a decade?

Answer 1

No.

We're going to change, and keep on changing.

What most likely will happen is the world will get smaller and smaller, that is, less liveable areas will prevail as time marches on.

The main question at this point is whether people can make drastic changes to survive.

IF people can make little sacrificial changes now, then the pain won't be so bad.

That would entail cleaning up your immediate environment, doing what needs to be done to make earth a little healthier.

On a larger scale, what is in dire need now is for large corporations, especially those with a record of polluting earth, to adopt different measures that will make their wastes less polluting, or even convertible to earth friendly products.

This much can be done trough legislation by our elected officials which would fine SEVERELY (not in the millions of dollars, but billions of dollars, those corporations with a polluting production cycle).

I can name them, but it's worth revealing here that those big lawn service companies who propagandize at this time of year, are hurting people and the environment by pouring arsenic containing substances down our waterways.

Answer 2

To answer your question, if you don't look both ways as you cross the street, you may die in this decade. Otherwise, try to be as good to others and the environment as you can, and stop worrying about natural climate fluctuations. We have had warm times and cool times. We have had ice ages, and periods when the entire planet was temperate to tropical. This hunk of rock has been around for a LITTLE bit longer than we have, so it seems a bit presumptuous to assume that we are causing its end by growing cows and driving 28 mpg cars instead of 32.

Answer 3

No. Please watch the Global Warming Special on May 2nd on Headline News (204 on Direct TV) at 7:00, 9:00 or Midnight Eastern Time. YOu will get the truth in this one hour special. This is way overhyped and just another reason to tax us to death and force us to buy the bogus carbon credits. Global Warming is a trojan horse for Socialism, wake up Americans. Global warming is at the fore front because politicians found how to use a new platform to get re-elected. The world leaders use it because they found ways to make money at it. This is a made up problem just like Global Cooling in the 1970's. Wake up people. I agree we need to be more efficient with our resources, and we should fine and jail companies who are dumping into our rivers maliciously. I want to stop the raiforest destruction, but to say that global warming is a serious man made issue and we need to destroy the American economy and bow down to the rest of the world certainly does not float my boat. Follow the money on this one and you will see that it is all for political gain and grant money for those scientists who profit off of the government if global warming stays at the front of the issues. Look deep into the Keoto (sp?) Treaty, first of all they took jets to a non-central resort location. Not very environmentally concious. THen in the parameters of the treaty they have a clause that makes it so you can buy or sell polution credits. This is all about shifting wealth and breaking down the United States. This is painfully obvious, just look at peoples agenda. The earth's mean temperature has risen .6 degrees C in the past 125 years. Greenland's icecaps have gotten colder in the past 10 years. The Scientists who do not gain anything on their posisition will tell you that the earth has a natural progression and this is what we are seeing. The UN report is made up of POLITICIANS not a good spread of scientists. THere are as many or more scientists who believe that man in NOT the reason and it is over hyped, but their voice is not heard in the LIberal Mainstream Media. This issue is 99% political, and an attempt to make the USA a socialist nation, and eventually communisim. WAKE UP AMERICA, IT IS TIME TO BE AMERICANS. FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. STOP THE LIES

Answer 4

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that:
"The harms associated with climate change are serious and well recognized. The Government’s own objective assessment of the relevant science and a strong consensus among qualified experts indicate that global warming threatens, inter alia, a precipitate rise in sea levels, severe and irreversible changes to natural ecosystems, a significant reduction in winter snowpack with direct and important economic consequences, and increases in the spread of disease and the ferocity of weather events."

The dummies that think this is just political are just ostriches with their heads in the sand.

Answer 5

A decade? No. A century? More likely.

Answer 6

In a century maybe. But hopefully people start to realise the implications of their actions very soon! We have the resources and capacity to stop climate change, so it's about time more than a handful of us started to care! If we do, then no, we won't die. ;-)

Answer 7

the very worse case the new "international scientific" report comes up with is:

in a hundred years temperatures will go up one and one half degrees F......so your summer will be 75 degrees instead of 73.5

The very worse sea level rise will be 17 inches.

Those are their numbers.

Does that sound like a disaster to you?

Answer 8

Not if you live in a rich country. They'll be able to cope with coastal flooding and damage to agriculture. But it will cost them huge sums of money and wreck their economy.

In poor countries many people (not all) will die of starvation.

Answer 9

i think it would be about a half a century but global warming will only get wost. there trying to fix it but its not going to happen i believe, because most people are all about them self and like don't worry about any one Else's problem and stuff like that

Answer 10
