What are your opinions?

Question

Do you think that global warming is a natural occurence and it has happened before, it is fake, or that it is only us who cause it? I personally believe that global warming is natural, but we are considerably speeding up the process. What are your opinions?

Answer 1

Logic would tell you that there is a natural cycle of warming and cooling. Logic would tell you that we are experiencing temperatures relatively low to those of the past(think on a geologic time-scale).
Start by considering glaciation in the United States. Theoretically, glaciers existed as far south as central Missouri as little as 12,000 years ago. These glaciers have since disappeared and very few glaciers exist in the contemerous US today. I would consider that this is evidence that Earth has been warming slightly for the last 12,000 years, and will continue to warm long after I am gone.
It is possible that man has contributed to some global warming, but I think it more likely that a few greedy people somewhere saw that Earth was in a warming trend and decided to use their knowledge to rake in a few bucks at everyone's expense and inconvenience.

Answer 2

I would like to first say, "Yay, not everyone believes that global warming is completely humans fault."

I have researched global warming for papers I did in school and found a lot of evidence that it is a natural, 1500 year cycle. I believe that it is possible that we contribute to global warming, just not that much.

Answer 3

It is a natural cycle. Any study of paleoclimates will show this. The thing to remember is that regardless of whether or not its natural we ARE going to face some problems as a populous advanced planet. Severe storms, agricultural shifts, polluted water, less land mass, higher oceans, and tropical disease spreads will all have to be dealt with.

The way I see it, its happening, The world is heating up and we can't stop it. So we need to stop arguing about who's doing what and start figuring out to handle the problems we are going to face.

Ummmm, our exhalations of CO2 has no impact whatsoever. Animals have been exhaling CO2 for millions of years. Its part of the natural cycle as well. If you're worried about CO2 emissions, you'd better look at coal fired power plants and cars. Not people.

Answer 4

I agree with you. We have been in an ice age recession for the past 10,000 years, but we are certainly adding to the process since the last 100 years. So that we may be extending the warming trend further than it otherwise would have gone on its own. Enough to make disaster from no disaster? Moot point.

Answer 5

I think we cause global warming.

When humans exhale, we let out carbon dioxide. Trees and plants take the carbon dioxide and change it into oxygen. But we cut down too many trees, so there are less trees and more carbon dioxide in the air. The carbon dioxide goes into the Earth's atmosphere. Because carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun, it gets hotter. All the heat causes global warming.

Answer 6

well,i think it is just as good as all the peoplel who neglect it

Answer 7

You have it right! ~
