global warming?

Question

I was walking in dc today with my kids and i sew people talking about global warming singers. To tell you the turth i never herd of that before today. What Is global warming. Is it real or is that the white guy is running for president.

Answer 1

Haha yeah Global Warming is running for president.

Welcome to Earth.

Answer 2

Global Warming is suppose to be true, it means that the whole world is raising and more C02 is getting in the air and there is suppose to be a blanket of some types of gases that's not letting the C02 get out of the Earth and the rays of the sun is also staying in the Earth and making in hotter. To stop it from getting worse or atleast from happening fast we need to stop smoking, stop wasting electicty, stop wasting water, recycole more, don't litter, don't pollute the air, don't run cars or motor cycles for no reason, and stuff like that other wise the Earth is going to get hotter and waaay in the future it might be very hot and storms will come and harsher storms will come, more tonatos, more hurricans, and stuff like that, and no more snow anywhere on Earth, but that ALLLL that won't happen in our life time, but we still MIGHT live in a hotter world of course no one can predict the future for sure, but Heaven, but that might happen if Global Warming gets a lot worse.

Answer 3

Global warming is almost certainly real. It is caused by accumulation of carbon dioxide in the air. This gas is exhaled by people and animals, but more importantly is produced by burning coal or oil in power stations and by burning oil in cars, trucks, trains, planes and ships. It is produced by making cement and is also produced by some volcanoes. Some of the gas is naturally in the air.

Carbon dioxide is a "greenhouse gas". That is, it absorbs heat from the Sun and warms the air. It is far better at this than the oxygen and nitrogen that make up most of the air.

What makes it more effective is that it is particularly good at absorbing heat from the ground and sea which would otherwise be radiated back into space, so it has a sort of "double whammy" effect. The other important greenhouse gas in the air is water vapour, but humans cannot do anything about that.

In 1966 the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere was about 0.0300%. In 1977 it was 0.0320% according to my personal measurements. In 1989 I measured 0.0350%, which was confirmed by another laboratory. Now it is around 0.0380%. Around 100 years ago it was 0.0280%. That might not seem like much but is almost a 36% increase in a century. It has been shown by careful analysis that most of the extra carbon dioxide comes from coal and oil.

The past twenty years have included most of the hottest years since reliable measurements of temperature began more than 150 years ago. Other means of measurement also show that temperatures are increasing. Glaciers all over the temperate climate area of the world such as in New Zealand, Switzerland, Peru, Canada etc have been retreating rapidly.

In 1896 the Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius predicted that increasing carbon dioxide would lead to global warming. His estimates were not correct, but the idea was. His idea was more or less forgotten until about 1960 but around that time it became clear that the atmosphere was building up carbon dioxide. This was mainly because new methods of chemical analysis were available which made regular analysis of air easier and cheaper than they were before.

By about 1972 or so several scientists around the world were pointing out that there was a possible danger. Naturally they were ignored. By about 1980 the issue had reached the popular scientific magazines like ":Scientific American" and "New Scientist".

But by that time there had already been many papers published in the "hard core" scientific press like "Nature", "Science", and the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the USA". These journals do not print anything that has not been at least read through by qualified reviewers to exclude obvious mistakes.

One way to reduce the build up of carbon dioxide is to reduce the use of oil in cars, trucks etc and to reduce consumption of electricity and cement. Big business does not like this idea very much.

Another way is to plant a lot of trees, which absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

The problem is one of chemistry and physics, not of politics. However the politicians are the only one who can actually do anything about it. Since some politicians are in the pockets of big business, so they are reluctant to actually do anything.

I have a degree in chemistry and spent several years doing gas analysis. I am not a US citizen and do not live in the USA, so I have not much interest in which politician becomes president.

Answer 4

global warming does not need to run for president
it already has a lot more power than any president will ever have
and it will rule the world soon
G:W is gonna be the boss of the world
and the bushes will be burning

Answer 5

If you desire to obtain provide cash for local weather study, do you suppose that you'll be able to get a cheque if you happen to say," I want the provide, as I suppose that I can end up that the figures that the present paradigm is headquartered upon are unsuitable" ? The quality environmentalist, David Bellamy, has been silenced, and refused airtime. There remains to be no validated causative hyperlink among the quantity of Co2 within the surroundings, and an broaden in worldwide temperatures. The WWWF portraits of the polar bears swimming had been taken within the Arctic summer season; while the ice cap in part melts, as they could not stand up to photo within the wintry weather. The ice was once too thick! The East-Anglian uni study figures. "Oh! The figures do not fit our expectancies. Oh good. Keep quiet. Because we all know that we're proper." When the notion, and the religion is extra most important than squarely going through the reputable doubts of plenty of non provide-supported scientists, technological know-how has been superceded through devout zealots. As Oliver Cromwell colourfully stated." I pray thee, within the bowels of Christ, recollect that thou mayest be unsuitable."

Answer 6

Real.

About 40 years ago man took control of the climate from nature.

Even Republicans know it's true:

"Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenged fellow conservatives to stop resisting scientific evidence of global warming"

"Pat Robertson (very conservative Christian leader) said, he believes “it is getting hotter and the ice caps are melting and there is a build up of carbon dioxide in the air.” Robertson implored, “we really need to do something on fossil fuels.”

We need to turn control back over to nature.

Answer 7

No, unfortunately , it is true. Find out what you can do to help stop it. As for the white guy in the persidental office, he is mentally retarded. It is funny, but no one voted for him that I can find. They had to count votes in Fla 3 times before they come up with the one they wanted in.
I hear hair sprays, is one of the reasons for global warmong. They have known about it for years, so it must be they are making money and can't be bothered with our children when they grow up. It is sad!

Answer 8

global warming is occuring.. the temp of climate wil change by a few degrees.. although it seems like nothing..plant life are being effected..the reefs in austrialia is dying.. animals reproduce early and some can't catch up to its feeding cycles.

also the ice caps are melting.. raises the ocean's water level.. going to flood florida and some otehr parts of the world

Answer 9

how can you ask if it's real hell yes it's real and al gore is a good man
at less he is trying to help the USA to help the earth and get people involved in some thing other the war.

Answer 10

global warming exists... i don't really understand the question so that the best i can do.
