Who believes in Global Warming?

Question

and can you give examples of it? As for me I've seen Natural Disasters worsen, such as hurricanes and raining season was behind two months where I live. Thanks for answering.

I believe in it. I've heard several reports of weather changing in different parts of the World. People in England have reported floods in their area. People in Argentina have said it snowed over there recently. Friends and family in different parts of the US have told me about the weather changes over in their town... and in several places of Mexico there have been floods. All this is enough to convince me it is real and we better start listening to scientist and find ways of helping Planet Earth.

Answer 1

I recommend that you read the scientific material on this subject.

I would start with the reports of a body called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC.

Unfortunately there is a great deal of hysteria, hype and other assorted misinformation floating around on this subject.

Al Gore's movie did not help matters any. Unfortunately that movie is presented as representing the science behind Global Warming and Climate Change.

Al Gore's movie unfortunately is garbage.

Al Gore's movie merely sensationalizes the issue and really does not contribute to an accurate understandiing of the issues surounding Global Warming and Climate Change..

One reason there is so much disagreement over this topic is all of the Hollywood hype and misinformation that is out there.

Many people are left with the impression that they are being lied to.

In the case of the Hollywood Hype I would say that is a reasonably accurate impression.

However if you will rely on the actual scientific work, and not the ridiculous Hollywood Hype, you will find that the scientific work is quite good and is very different from the Hollywood hype..

Answer 2

There's this huge debate whether the earth has these cycles where the earth has "ice ages" and then the temperature rises again as the "ice ages" end. The theory is that we've been in an "ice age" and now that period is ending and the earth is rising in temperature. There's no way to know this as 200 yrs of earth's weather and temperature statistics can't be relevant in earth's 4.5 billion yrs that it's been a planet. Is earth getting warmer? Yes! Is it all natural? Maybe not. Can we be contributing to it? Possibly. Can we stop it? Probably not if it's natural. Can we help? Of course. But for that to happen people need to stop waiting around for the government to solve all our problems... stop buying these huge suv's that eat up gas, recycle, use less resources, car pool, buy from green companies, and that Prius isnt looking so bad right now. These are all things that make a difference and if we all did them, then maybe we wouldn't be in this pickle. So you're saying, how can i car pool? Well when 5 different women or men from the same neighborhood drive their one kid to school in 5 different suv's or mini-vans they waste gas. Just stick all 5 kids in one van and take turns driving them to school... Walllah! Problem solved... it's a small thing, but if many people did it, we could all contribute. :)

Answer 3

I believed in it 30 years ago when it was still called The Greenhouse Effect. I have watched the weather patterns change over the years, hotter summers, less snow in winter, more tornadoes; but I never expected it to get this severe this fast. The projections did not predict this type of change for another 50 years. We are in a worst case scenario based on past projections. I used to comment to friends to thank Global Warming for the changes and they would find it amusing. They aren't amused any more, they are worried.

Answer 4

I believe mankind is ruining the environment, atmosphere and the animal life.

Weather patterns are changing because of the pollutions released in the atmosphere everyday.

Deforestation changes weather patterns.

Our bodies have a harder time fighting disease because they are fighting off the effects of pollution.

We can only do our best to help the environment. Each person has to do what their conscious says. unfortunately many a person's conscious says, "do nothing, I will die before it gets too bed, my children and grandchildren can deal with the time when there is no more fresh air or water."

Some of us live in areas where what we can do is limited. We have no decent bus system here. To go one way to the doctor's would take three hours.
We have to pay to have things recycled here. The good health food stores are 45 minutes away from us.

I have done a few things though. One watch my bottle purchases and reuse them whenever possible.

I take my own bags in the stores and use those. I need to buy or make a couple more.
We don't drive too much.
We try not to waste water.

Oh and I am relaizing that turning off the computer is a help too, so I am starting to do that too.

Answer 5

Seeing natural disasters 'worsen' in a single human life time, is hardly proof of global warming.

Answer 6

This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000. -- Lowell Ponte "The Cooling", 1976

If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000...This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age. -- Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)

What we've got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy. -- Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)

If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS -- Earth First! Newsletter

Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, is not as important as a wild and healthy planets...Some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along. -- David Graber, biologist, National Park Service

The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans. -- Dr. Reed F. Noss, The Wildlands Project

If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels. -- Prince Phillip, World Wildlife Fund

Cannibalism is a "radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation." -- Lyall Watson, The Financial Times, 15 July 1995

SO the ANSWER to YOUR QUESTION IS THEY WANT a CARBON TAX to tax evil OIL Corporations DEM Senator DODD. that means trickle down to you $6.00 a gallon Gas Higher food prices TRUCKS deliver food run on FUEL,higher electric they will build NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS its a low carbon foot print .

ANSWER: ask teachers What happen to the polar bears during the last 5 ICE AGES?.

Answer 7

Long Island NY was a washout of the last ice age. Now that is evidence that we had a deep freeze that melted. So yep that is proof for me that we are un a global warming for some time now. Heck we better create more Earth heat or we are going to have another deep freeze & what will AL baby say then?

Answer 8

Of course I believe in Global Warming. One of the main evidence to illustrate that phenomenon is the ongoing rapid increase of temperature in Europe.

Answer 9

Like yourself I too beleive in it. Largely the result of human activity but partly natural as well.

Most other people beleive it as well. In a worldwide survey last year 90% of respondents stated that they considered climate change to be a serious problem - http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/btenvironmentra/187.php?nid=&id=&pnt=187

Answer 10

I believe it is happening and I believe humans are the reason why it is happening at an exponential rate.


Yes global warming, greenhouse gasses are being dumped constantly before we started burning fossil fuels

But ever since we started industrializing we see global warming growing at an exponential rate.
