Global warming just a big Farce ??? Or something that happends naturaly and we cant stop it !!?

Question

Discus people ,yes wether is changing and is bigger than all of us ,any goverement ,any country anything that we could imagine. We can all see it hapening slowly ,but we do seem to ingore it . We say that we care ,but realy do we ? I dont believe we can stop or control what is hapeneing to the wether ,even if we stoped using our cars tomorow and got on our bikes . The ball has started rolling 50 years ago ,do you think we can stop it ? Hmm ...... get ready for the next ice age ,if not in our lives ,our grandchildren will .

Answer 1

For sure something is going on around us. There are so many things that we could do, but the whole world isn't convinced that anything we would and could do can help. I know I miss seeing at least some snow during the "winter" season - but it's been full of rain!

I do think there are ways we can fix what has already been done- as far as knowing the extent of how much we will have to give up - I'm not sure.

It has been shown that the Earth goes through natural phases, but even those "phases" are phases where life is harsh...the weather unpredictable..yes

I think we care somewhat, but I don't think everyone thinks it is their problem. They aren't thinking about future generations- they're thinking about themselves right now.

Answer 2

I am not sure if it is a farce BUT I know many people and companies are making money out of it.
Governments are using it as a political tool for their own ends
TAXing for green reasons IS A FARCE
and totally useless in any respect except raising revenue for incompetent budget control


GIVING grants if a company improves it's emissions , waste control etc would work and be sensible
Taxes are just passed on to Joe public


In the 1600 people regularly skated on the Thames

In the 1920 skating races took place on the fens EVERY YEAR

So for the last 300 years the temperature has been rising


The de-forestation IS THE MOST biggest effect on the environment


Local Goverment re cycling is THE biggest farce
It puts MORE Co2 in the atmosphere than it saves by X 80

Political policies are fashions ( and the Emperors New Clothes Syndrome has ruled for about 15 years now)


The Environmentalists fashion 20 years ago was get rid of Community incinerators and put rubbish to land fill

Now land fill is a problem and efficient incinerators would be the answer

Answer 3

This is most definately happening. I read a report on how our contributions on global warming will speed up the already naturally occuring process of warming and cooling. I can't recall just now but I have a few of the details from memory. It stated that our contributions to warming will heat up the atmosphere, causing ice caps to melt (you know the proof is already there). Imagine a trampoline. The ice caps are holding pressure down on volcanic currents from spewing all the time. If that pressure is released from the ice caps melting, more volcanic eruptions will occur, releasing more co2 into the atmosphere, causing a lot more heating than we as humans could produce. I was thinking about this and how it was a possibility but wasn't sure what truth it had to it. I think it's plausible. So my answer would be yes, global warming and cooling occur naturally but on a much slower scale.... We're just adding more fuel to the "engine" to speed up the heating process in my opinion.

Answer 4

Global warming is a scam and it is on the back of the poor. Gore is afraid u will use up all the fuel for his jet but u can walk. The CO2 is not there the plants have recycled it just like they are supposed to. Oh yes the methane it must be terrible . Ok where is it I want to measure it. It is not there.
Methane is very light so it will go very high in our atmosphere but it is not there. I think it goes so high that the sun light causes it to oxidize . The 2 main green house gases are not there so is there still global warming. U say that the climate is changing , it always changes it is not constant . I am 77 and there is just as bad of storms now as when I was young. Back in the dust bowl days it was bad.

Answer 5

Who are "we", individuals or governments? I seem to see a lot of individual action but just a lot of hot air from governments. A classic example is the plans to extend Standstead airport which would appear to fly in the face of all the advice to reduce flying.

I think there is also an issue of people accepting there is a problem but thinking nothing can be done about it and therefore carrying on as usual. I accept that making lifestyle changes now probably won't be enough to stop global warming but it might ameliorate it and give future generations a chance to adapt. People generally do not cope well with big changes but can deal with small incrimental changes .

Answer 6

The Earth is not stable. Things change. Is global warming bad? Who says?

How arrogant humans can be to think they can control the natural changes of the planet. One decent meteor strike or volcanic eruption has an infinitely greater effect than all the efforts of man. We're nothing.

Get over it and use you 3 score and 10 as best you can 'cos this is you're only chance.

Answer 7

This is science and what counts is the data.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

It's (mostly) not the sun:

http://solar-center.stanford.edu/sun-on-earth/FAQ2.html

And the first graph aboves shows that the sun is responsible for about 10% of it. When someone says it's the sun they're saying that thousands of climatologists are stupid and don't look at the solar data. That's ridiculous.

Science is quite good about exposing bad science or hoaxes:

There's a large number of people who agree that it is real and mostly caused by us, who are not liberals, environmentalists, stupid, or conceivably part of a "conspiracy". Just three examples of many:

"Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."

Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart

"Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming."

Senator John McCain, Republican, Arizona

“DuPont believes that action is warranted, not further debate."

Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO, DuPont

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/home_page/329.php?nid=&id=&pnt=329&lb=hmpg1

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686 and:

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know - except maybe Newton's second law of dynamics. Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point,You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Answer 8

You need to use the spell check! Everyone knows it is happening it's wether we want to stop it or contribute to it..If this government stayed with a program.. every time we get a new president they change all the programs president before them had in effect. John Kennedy was into saving our environment then think Nixon or Johnson gave a sh..t about it? Carter cared Bush didn't
It's real think factories can dump chemicals into our water ways and we are still going to have drinking water?
I don't see how anyone could deny this world is going down hill and we the humans are doing it.

Answer 9

for some years, environmentalism has been the Left's superb excuse for increasing government administration over our strikes in techniques the two great and small. it fairly is for mom Earth! it fairly is for the infants! it fairly is for the whales! yet till now, the doomsday-undertaking environmental scares they have trumped up have not been sufficiently great to offer the sinister prize they desire maximum of all: entire administration of yank politics, financial pastime, or maybe man or woman habit. With international warming, besides the undeniable fact that, greenhouse gasbags can argue that vehicle emissions in Ohio threaten human beings in Paris, and that for the time of easy terms international government can handle such issues. national sovereignty? Democracy? overlook it: international warming has now extra the Left closer to international government, statism, and the eradication of man or woman rights than it has ever been earlier.

Answer 10

The earth is warming but NOT because humans watch this film by the BBC to see the other side of the story unless you would just like to be one of the millions of supports and just go with the flow for no reason.
