Please answer my question on global warming?

Question

How long has global warming been a problem?

Answer 1

since al gore was vp

Answer 2

Since around the late 70's. It was the global cooling that was scaring them before that. Global warming is an exaggeration of a natural cycle the Earth goes through. The Environmentalists started it and it became a problem to politicians around the mid to late 90's, when Communism fell, because they needed a new scare tactic. That is why it is blamed for things like Katrina. Remember at first there would be MORE hurricanes, then a weak year in the Atlantic and suddenly oh there will be LESS Hurricanes because of it? HUH? Read the book "State of Fear" and you will begin to understand it all. That is exactly what is going on. "Global Warming" is being used by Politician's as a scare tactic.

Answer 3

I suggest you chill about global warming. No, seriously. Look, the earth is getting warmer - and it has been doing so since the last ice age. It is a natural process that is being moved along at a slightly faster pace than normal. However, all this hype is crap. Do you want to know what produces the most gas in the world? (No, not cows as the UN decided - ) it is termites. Yes, those irritating little bugs that eat wood. Termites have the largest cabon footprint in the world. Given the fact that they existed when Dinos ruled the earth, I don't think having a suburban to tow my nieces and nephews around is going to kill the planet. Consider the source - Al Gore on private jet with muli-million dollar mansion (don't forget - he invented the internet too!) or the natural cycle of mother earth as recorded by multiple brilliant scientists on every continent. You need to read the issue of Fusion Magazine aboutt global warming. That will catch you up on all the real "inconvienient truths". You can get the mag by going to www.glennbeck.com

Answer 4

Global warming is nothing new, and I personally don't see it as a "problem." Those who see global warming as something that needs to fixed, think that humans are totally responsible for it. This is an arrogant assumption.

The earth has gone trough several cycles of heating up and cooling down. We are still coming out of the last Ice age hence we are still continuing to get warmer.

So if global warming was a "problem" it is a good one. We wouldn't be here if it weren't for global warming!

Answer 5

Actually, global warming has been a "problem" for thousands of years. 1,000 years ago, New York City was under a mile of ice.
Despite all the rhetoric about global warming, I have yet to see this fact published. 1,000 years ago, humans did not generate "greenhouse" gases, yet the earth got warmer. My opinion is that global warming is cyclical. It is only recently that environmentalists have been screaming about it. By the way, there is a study that says Mars is undergoing a global warming event. I guess we caused that too.

Answer 6

for a long time e.g. 2000 years becuase we burn stuff.rising co2 levels will make our ozone thicker. This will cause Greenland and the Antarctic to melt, the melting wil cause sea levels to rise by 1-6m. People have found polar bears drowned, cannibalism and starved to death. temperatures will rise and cause bigger droughts by evaporate all the moist out of the ground, the water evaporated will cause floods somewhere else. Another effect from temperatures rising means sea temperatures will rise to, causing bigger cyclones and more hurricanes. The golden toad was the first species to go extinct in the late 1980's. The great barrier reef will die from rising sea temperatures, lots of areas will disappear due to climate change. there is this current in the ocean that keeps sea temperatures average(which will change due to global warming), if Greenland melts the cold water will go into this current and turn the northern hemisphere into an ice age. The way we are able to live is in danger.

Answer 7

shrug... it's a general trend, so it's very hard to measure specifics. At some point, human activity started adding CO2 to the atmosphere faster than nature could cleanse it out, but it would be many decades before that caused anything like Katrina, IF it caused Katrina. When do you say it started to be a problem? *shrug*

Of course it's all very political, because some see an urgent need to act, and others see an urgent need to deny. You know how people get. :(

The real science is reasonably sound, though. The earth is known to operate in cycles, but it's diverging sharply from its normal range, in very close syncopation with human industrialization. Coincidence? Perhaps.

Don't take anyone's word on it, do honest research yourself.

Answer 8

Global warming has been going on forever, as a natural occurrence. The increase in greenhouse gases (the ones that are trapped in our atmosphere) began when fossil fuels became widely used in society; I'd say it began rapidly increasing since the industrial revolution.

Answer 9

half the scientists say it isn't - so here is the fun with research

you prove your thesis by finding those who agree with you, and discard the others

by the way = Mars is experiencing Global Warming, too, their ice caps are melting............
how many SUV's there?
carbons in the atmosphere?
cows producing methane gas?

hmmmm - may be this is solar related?

if we are sustaining GW - does population play a part?

1800 - 900 million people
1900 - 1.6 billion
2000 - 6 billion
2005 6.5 BILLION - nah can't be - must be aerosol deoderant

Answer 10

I am 50 years old and i can remember someone making
a joke when some one had passed gas about damaging
more of the ozone layer. I was 20 years old then. Does that answer you question? Please forgive me if i sound rude!

Answer 11

100 years but we could had done something about it in the late 1950 be because if the oil company's or forcing us to use oil we are killing the planet.
