Are you one to be blamed of the global warming of our planet? Why?

Answer 1

I am not I have cut back so far I cannot cut back any farther. In fact I consider myself a positive influence on global warming because I identify particularly wasteful polluters and use my moral authority to shame them into improving their behavior In this way, by geting them to reduce their wasteful bahavior I more than make up for the very small amount of resources that I do have to use in order to go to work and do my job effectively.

The three most egregious polluters that I have recently identified live in enormous mansions that use ten times as much energy as a family of 4. The fly all over the place in private jets that use over 1,000 times the amount of fossil fuel as the most wasteful SUV.

Once I have identified these people I shame them into improving their behavior and reducing the amount of waste they ae responsible for.

The wastrels that I have identified are: Nancy Pelosi, John Edwards and Al Gore.

Please join me in contacting their staff members and let them know how disappointed in them you are because of their wasteful lifestyle. The message will eventually filter out to them from their staff members. unfortunately Nancy Pelosi, John Edwards and Al Gore think they are too good for you and will not talk to you but you can talk to their staff. Eventually if enough people talk to their staff members they will get the message.

Answer 2

My part in this is human and I consume and convert that energy into something else. For thousands of years it was not noticeable but now with billions of us running around each consuming and converting energy it becomes noticeable. The energy we have been consuming was abundant but now is not. As our activity increases so too does the demand that up to now is met through irreplaceable sources while all the while at the other end our energy has produced a phenomenon that is even more bleak and impossible to manage in time to avoid its most catastrophic effects. The question is... is it too late? Should I stop or is it already too much of a current and just go with it and enjoy the last of the epoch where we, some of us, got to really have a blast and enjoy using up all our sources and contaminating the planet to the point of the extinction of our existence.

Answer 3

I am not but i know some who are partly responsible .

this story is only about manmade climate change in the country side.

Maybe we cannot save the world from global warming ,but we still need our Environment to survive whilst we are still here .

Everybody is so desperate to absolve humanity from blame ,and this is not possible

Global warming is one thing ,and for many people it seems to be the knight on a white horse that says
dont worry it is not your fault you can do nothing about it ,
keep on trucking ,poluting, deforesting, desertifying,keep killing the animals ,keep burning the woods
That is Bulls hit.

Man is responsible for much climate change it cannot be whitewashed by Global warming

If Global warming now also want to change the climate it has to stand in line
because it is not the only one

Once upon a time
I went to the jungles of Oaxaca and discussed with the Natives the mountain before us ,Mostly deforrested ,scarred by landslides and dotted with madly steep corn patches (which only produced for 3 years ),and devoid of clouds.

They all agreed that the days were hotter ,there was less rain ,And the river was dry part of the year.

When they were boys ,the river was bigger and ran all year around,the mountain was always covered in clouds with daily rains .And the days were more bearable .

Their actions in the desperate plight to feed their enormous families of avarage 12 kids per family ,often much more ,had destroyed their home ground with indisputable climate changes.
They had changed their climate.This happens all over Mexico

In Africa I have seen lush wooded lands change into dessert within a few years by large invading comunities ,who devoured the trees for building and firewood ending up in a dessert with out water
and with a hot sun under which no new plantation was possible.The people had changed their climate,this happens all over Africa.

In Northern china two mayor dessert are merging and 900 vilages are buried under the dust ,thousands of refugee farmers who had changed their climate ,by intensive agressive agriculture are fleeing for their lives,this happens all over the world .it happened in the 20ties in the USA has everybody forgotton that ,was this not a climate change ?

Granted the climatic changes are local ,but effects neighboring areas ,there is less rainfall, rivers dry up ,

Collectively because there is so much of it all over the world ,the global precipitation is affected and so is the climate .And who did it ,the bloedy people did ,they are changing the climate

Like Ghengas Kahn changed the climate when he burned all the forests and filled the wells with sand ,Like the Phoenicians changed the climate of lebanon to build the trading fleet .Like the Spanish climate was changed by using their forest to build the Armada ,

So are we today changing the climate by massive deforestation,agressive corporate farming (using chemicals),overgrazing ,overpumping deep subteranean waters ,ignorence and impartiality

Global warming.carbon emisions ,polution ,sunspots ,solar flares,hairsprays , Al Gore, and skeptics are the rasberries on top

and read up what America is planning with the insane master plan for Ethanol production .http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Seems as if America is trying to compete with Global warming

I wonder who will win.?
but who ever it is ,
the rest of the world looses.

we are in trouble,and if we can do something that will make it less ,we should try to do it .

And there are many things that we can improve on
so that ,we can at least last as long as posible .

Answer 4

They want to sell cars. What better way to move alot of people into the "new" cars than to tell them that their old car is polluting the atmosphere in a big way. They need to get the new cars(where nothing can be fiddled with or adjusted or modified ---in otherwords the oil companies can continue to sell their oil at a set rate.
My old car(1973-factory setting on carburator...25 mpg.) Me fiddling with the carb, ignition timing, and valve adjustments moved the same car to 42 mpg. You figure out the percentage improvement.
Can't do that kind of modification on a new car which is set at 32 mpg. They got you by the electronics.
It is the backyard inventor that makes the discoveries and the manufacturers that try to prevent others from doing the same.
Who is to blame? I didn't build the car, I bought it and I try to get as much life out of it as I can....='s less pollution and energy waste in making a new car.
And there is no way that "they" can prove to me that my car which gets 70mpg is a greater polluter than a new one that only gets35 mpg. They use twice the fuel to go the same distance which gives off twice the amount of pollution...there is no such thing as clean pollution.

Answer 5

Frankly, I'm happy to say I'm not. I suppose my lifestyle sn't perfectly "green." But I do a lot of things--insulation, energy efficient light bulbs, etc. And since we are among the relative few that have access to good mass transit, we make it a point to keep driving to aminimum--less than 10 gallons a month for our houshold!

One of the things I've discovered: being "green" is practicallly always the cheapest way to go. We have lower utility bills--the changes we've made already paid for themselves (starting a couple of years ago). Transportation costs are a fraction of what they used to be--and we actually spend less time getting places!. If it wern't for the fact we're grad students living in an apartment, we'd already be working on getting solar energy. That's coming, though--and though its a pretty big up-front investment, we expect it to pay for itself over time as well.

Answer 6

The bible don't say there any global warming so i don't believe put if u do it up u to do something about it Like walk alot wah in cold water shorter bath turn out light u don't u go bed early write u a list thing u can do

Answer 7

Yes, sadly, I am. I believe in global warming, and it scares me, but I also contribute to it with my car and with my electricity, as we all do. Unfortunately, getting americans (or anyone) to change their lifestyles is not easy. I eat things that I know I shouldn't also, because it's just as hard to change eating habits.

Answer 8

I would say we all are, as a society moving forward we have invented many thing that have help develop the world as we evolve as a society we learn (some times slow) that inventions of earlier years have had a negative impact on our world and through our determinations we will change our inventions for better. Hopefully nature
will forgive us for our past and heal itself.

Answer 9

No, do you want to give up your iPod, cellphone, plasma TV, computer just to save a few bucks?

Answer 10

technically yes you are. you are the consumer supporting the company with the old technology that is killing the environment.
