do people really think they can stop a global warm-up?

Question

the earth's climate has always run in cycles from very cold to very warm. only 2% of the CO2 in the atmosphere is produced by human activity. I guess it doesn't hurt to try but is seems a bit like pissing in the ocean to me.

Answer 1

sure we can do little to change things but what is the harm in trying to look after the environment
since out survival ,Air,Water ,food ,climate all depend on it .

and the CO2 production is not even the main problem
Agriculture ,and expanding populations and its effects are the planets biggest enemies

this text only covers some aspects of Climate change ,i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification ,because of irresponsible farming using chemicals ,over pumping carbon aquifers,over grazing ,wild fires (because of slash and burn gone out of control)

water and air polution such as caused by
industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories,

and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions

there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,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

the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions

are We responsible ?is it the Sun?
or is it God who wants to punish?
is it a Natural cycle ?
or is it Gaia who wants to clean some parasitic infestation?
who cares ? that is not important any more

WHAT IS -is that we are gonna be in trouble

Answer 2

No, You can't stop the Sun from warming up . That's what is happening and the other planets are warming up too. There was an article on Neptune today and it is changing because it is warming up out in our solar system. All that we can do is get as ready as we all can to ride out a solar cycle that may screw us up. we might not be able to grow as much food as we are now. If the ice caps melt it will effect our oceans by releasing huge amounts of fresh water that will alter everything in our weather, fish, and the trade currents may stop and freeze up western Europe. So try to stop that Al Gore.

Answer 3

No, but we can keep it from rising at the continuing accelerated rate at which it now is. Your choice. The graphic scales are alarming, of as of 00-01 till now is the greatest in history. We can make good history, or a disastrous one. Yes, every global warming, is followed by an ice age that has been going on for eons, but none like the one we now have. You should see the numbers. That warfare with all that sh.. going into the air since 01, can't be good either. I wonder what impact that alone has had. The dates coincide.

Answer 4

Its not that 2% is a huge percent, but you must understand that it is nearly a irriversable effect, greenhouse gases make the temperature not able to escape so if it continues to slowly rise, it will be too hot. Look at the planet venus, floating something like 900 degrees kelvin at any part of the planet, any time of the year because heat from the sun comes in and greenhouse gases wont let the heat back out. We dont want to be like venus.

Answer 5

The earth hasn't been this warm in a long time, and humans've put more than 2% into the atmosphere, a lot more. If we can create a Global Warmup, we can stop one for sure.

Answer 6

Never, humans cant control the power of nature of global warming. If we could, we could make anywhere in the world, even the coldest places a paradise with good sunny weather.

Answer 7

Yes if big business like factorys, refinerys,auto makers, oil and or fuel develpoers will find ways for us to use their productd with out further damageing the Ozone.

Answer 8

you mean the species that walked on the moon 40 years ago and cured polio?

it is not a question of ability or technology but one of willingness coupled perhaps with a view of the future that does not extend beyond our own brief lifespans.

Answer 9

No humans against mother earth...we loose hands down..but we actually do it to ourselves. Thats why the are spending billions to find life on other plantes.

Answer 10

You can't stop it, but I guess you can slow it down.
