global warming?

Answer 1

No....period!

Answer 2

Some gases ("greenhouse gases") let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving. That's the "greenhouse effect", and it's a natural thing, mostly caused by water vapor.

Man is making excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That causes the delicate natural balance to go out of whack and the Earth warms. That's global warming.

It won't be a Hollywood style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. But it will be very bad. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.

Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.

Answer 3

Why not write your thoughts in a place, or two, that you can find five years from now?
If that is impossible, how about three years from now?

Actually, by the end of January, 2008 I will be surprised if there are any skeptics left in California.
Watch for signs like, ban use of fireplaces at homes and make it illegal to include them in new houses.
Watch the hybrid cars take over more than a third of California sales, etc.

Anything in particular, it's a very broad subject. Here's a couple of starting points http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Warming and http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/intro.html

Answer 5

What about it? Yes, it's a horrible thing and should be prevented more than it is. What is it? It refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. What can be done about it? Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced through simple measures like changing light bulbs and properly inflating your tires. So many other things can be done, a list of sites below to find out more.

Answer 6

The world is overpopulated...this was no big surprise...the reason why it is hard to accept due to the "cooler" summers and "warmer" winters, is because, like most people, they tend to think we should be burning up right now...NO...that will come in time...first, is the cool down from all of the ice melting.
