Global Warming?

Question

is global warming real because I don't know who to beleive these days

Answer 1

I fully understand that it's hard to know what to believe.

It's wise to be cynical, don't take things at face value without being shown the evidence to back up the statements. There are a lot of people deliberately putting about lies, rumours and exaggerations.

Listen to the people who are qualified to speak on the subject of global warming - those who actually know what they're talking about and not simply repeating what they read on a website somewhere or what someone told them.

If you do that you'll be able to sift fact from fiction and then armed with the facts you'll be able to draw your own conclusions.

As to whether global warming is real - you'll have to trust me here in that I am suitably qualified and experienced - yes it is real, partly it's natural but the unprecedented warming in the last 200 years is largely the result of human activities.

If you look back at some of the recent questions I answered you'll find info about how it works, what causes it, what can be done to combat it and so on.

Now, if you're going to take my earlier advice then you're going to question what I've just told you and should verify it for yourself.

Answer 2

Global warming is happening just not how everyone says it is. Back in the 1970's we were all going to die because an ice age was coming. Well 30 years all of a sudden we are now killing ourselves by global warming. All the CO2 is said to be the cause of the warming. If that is true why is MARS having global warming too? Oh ya I forgot the sun is the BIGGEST influence of global temperature. Makes sense. Check the web. The sun has been hotter then its been in a long time. So the inconvenient truth of global warming is really a convenient lie of global warming.

Answer 3

Global warming may or may not be triggered by pollution, but pollution is very real and has a negative impact on the lives that are touched by it. The whole debate about global warming being real or not is a bit silly, when you look at it that way.

Answer 4

The report I have included below is the most authoritative report every written on the subject. Furthermore it will be the primary basis of for Global Warming policies by governments all over the world. I think if you read only the first ten pages you will be convinced.

Answer 5

Yes it is because of our impact on the earth and the waste that we leave behind global warming is a real threat that can kill millions of animals(people included).

Answer 6

Yes
watch Al Gore documentry on glbal Warming it explains every thing I watched it in 9th grade you'll be shocked

Answer 7

just for fun i asked a question in polls and surveys and again in religion
who thought Global warming was a lie ,and who was religious ,

granted many people believed in God and also believed in climate change ,

but
the fact emerged that ALL of the people who denied Global warming ,who said it was a hoax ,were without any exceptions ,religious


FACT OR FICTION
many North Americans are used to fiction and they feel more comfortable with fairytales instead of the truth,

Many blindly believe that our fate is in Gods hands ,and their focus is on the beautifull heaven that awaits ,they are not to concerned with the world their children will inherrit

there may come a time that for the sake of our survival the two views will be seperated in to Enemies and friends of the planet

World leaders are not concerned with the well being of the masses ,on the contrary .it was stated at a conference in Copenhagen,in 1998,by An American statesman , that the Agenda demanded a decrease in the world population of 60%,and you cannot achieve this if you start saving everybody.

scientists who work for politicians ,get paid by these politicians and they have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change

and change effects many peoples incomes,and upsets profit margins,so most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.for political and economic reasons

HOWEVER CLIMATE CHANGE IS FACT FOR MILLIONS
Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text only covers some aspects of global warming mainly man made desertification

industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities ,is another story

there are natural cycles in the planets life
but mans existance has its effects,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and many of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were very few desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
and there are 70 million more peole every year that have to eat and drink and wash

who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

if forrest are being exchanged for ashalt,concrete and desserts
what is gonna keep this planet habitable for us

We as humanity can behave in a less stressful manner as far as the Environment is concerned ,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen, Source(s) Lester E Brown is the director and founder of the global institute of Environment in the United states .he has compiled a report based on all the satalite information available from NASA,and all the information that has
come from Universities and American embassies WORLD WIDE ,
his little book--a planet under stress , Plan B has been trans lated into many languages and won the best book award in 2003

Answer 8

there is no debate if it is real or not (it is) the question is, is it natural or caused by humans. Try looking under the IPCC (internation panel on climate change) good info, and they are just about to put out their new climate report (some of which was previewed in the New Zealand Herald earlier this year) : )

Answer 9

Its real however it will happen every so many years check history way back. Tell Gore to take a hike

Answer 10

You need to watch this video. In fact you all need to watch this. And try thinking for yourselves instead of buying into all the hype.
