Is any one is scared about global warming?

Question

I Know what will happen if we dont help the earth but what can we do to really help, i feel worthless and sad about polor bears end every thing. If you will could you list some ways to help the earth.

Answer 1

You want to 'help' the Earth?
ok,
1. Do not buy into the current global warming/carbon scam. It is not for earth but for lining the pockets of politicians and celebrities.
2. Stop or at least limit your polluting activities.._yours_ not anyone else's. Fix your own backyard and let the next guy fix his. If everyone would do this, we would have little pollution to worry about.
3. Recycle recycle recycle. Use it up. Make it do. Wear it out.
Do not be a part of the 'throw-away' people. Use what you have and replace only if it cannot be repaired or used at all. This will save a BUNCH of landfill space as well as limiting toxic chemicals leeching from those landfills.
4. Ride the train or bus if you can, carpool if you can. If you cannot, don't get overly concerned about it. Your car does not cause the amount of pollution that you have been told.
5. Turn off your lights, computer, tv, etc when you are not using them.

Here's some truth about global warming, the real truth that AlGore doesn't want you to acknowledge:

Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.
The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.
This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.
Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).
As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).
When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.
It's been happening for millions of years.
Humans did not cause it.
Humans cannot stop it.

Answer 2

Global Warming is real, is happening, will continue to happen, and has been happening for a long time now. Anyone with any sense can see that. The Ice Caps are melting. The North-west passage can now be sailed through relatively easily. We see more extremes of weather: heat waves, hurricanes, warmer, wetter weather. The other day at work a few of my colleagues were discussing the Tsunami in Sumatra. It's terrible, they were saying. And these things seem to be happening more often. Why is that? Perhaps it's the gas guzzling 4X4's they drive to work every day. OK, not enough to cause climate change on their own, but all these things have an impact. We continue to burn fuels that are harmful to the environment, and use up all our natural resources. The world can't cope. We are all culpable (I am contributing to global warming right now, with my central heating on full blast, and the electricity being used up by my computer). Technology has made the world an easier place to live, but we need to start looking at how the world is going to survive. Saying things like "I won't be around to see it" is a selfish action, and a totally inappropriate one. Am I scared? No. I'm concerned, and angry about the attitudes of so many people, who are either complacent about the real effects of it, or in complete denial.

Answer 3

While the basic principle behind global warming makes sense, I do not believe that climate change is at all a new thing. The temperatures we are experiencing now are not any warmer than they have been in the not so distant past.
Scientists have found proof that the polar ice caps have also been melted to the current position in our not so distant past.
It is, however, irrefutable that CO2 gas (and other gases such as methane) can act as an insulating layer in our atmosphere.
This layer can trap heat more efficiently than an atmosphere with lower levels of these "greenhouse" gases.

While the global warming theory has some merits, I believe it is in no was as big an issue as it has been portrayed.
This doesn't mean we don't need to find some alternative fuels; it just means I believe we have more time in which to do this than is being published in the media.
Every living creature which breathes in oxygen releases CO2 in the process.

Answer 4

there are some people that say global warming is a hoax but i don't think so. Look at the weather it is really distructive. But there is an another fact too we can't stop it because even if me and u and an another 100 people try to stop global warming no way. The fact is political because if we start using hybrid vehicles then the economy will just crash. And the oil companies will go out of business. there are a lot of hybrid and other types of car now in the market but they are not encouraged because of several political reasons. Then there are so many people who collect money from other people saying that we are trying to stop global warming but that is just bull crap becasue the person who collects the money will eventually put it in their pocket.

I will tell u ways
Actually these are the things that i do:
Plant trees atleast 5
Walk or ride a bike when u go some where near
Recycle
then u can find more of them in here if u want to go it is some thing that people make a oath saying that i would do this to stop global warming.

its up to u u can go there and make a oath..

Answer 5

No. I am not worried at all about global warming. You hear a lot of people talking about how the earth is heating up and if we don't do something fast, the ice caps will melt and we will all die. Sure. Right. Think about this. Have you EVER heard anyone tell you exactly how much the temperature has risen? In the last 10,000 years, the temperature has gone up by about one tenth of a degree. That's what I was told. Wikipedia says that in the 20th century (meaning in 1000 years' time), the temperature has gone up by 1.33°F give or take 0.32. If what Wikipedia says is the worst-case senario, then that means that the temperature will go up by one degree every 750 years. In short, I believe that global warming may be a problem in the VERY far future, but it is not a huge problem right now. What I mean by the very far future is this: The sun is slowly pulling the earth closer to it every year, so of course it is going to get hotter! About 200 million years from now, every living thing on this planet will burn and die and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Of course, if you want to look into the even more very far future (yes, I think that's proper English), you'll see something very different. In about 10 billion years (give or take a billion), the sun will run out of fuel and will be unable to support itself. At this point, it will fizzle out and die. There. Problem solved, no more global warming (don't beat me up if the sun doesn't fizzle out when it dies. I'm not sure about exactly what happens when stars die. Maybe it will explode, I'm not sure).

If someone wanted to help to make sure that Earth is a cleaner and happier place to live, then I would suggest that they help towards putting hydrogen-powered fuel cells on the market. Hydrogen is the most plentiful element in the universe (look it up), so that would mean that if hydrogen could replace gasoline, gas prices would go down enormously. I'm sure that that would make a lot of people happier, am I right?

Answer 6

You make a couple of assumptions that are unsupportable.

First, you assume that you "know what will happen". Nobody has ever known what will happen. Especially concerning something so complex as climate.

Second, you assume that it's humanly possible to reverse the trend. According to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the warming will continue for hundreds of years even if there were no humans and not another gallon of fuel was burned.

Answer 7

If global warming is true (which I'm not convinced of) our free market economy, assuming it stays that way, will help eliminate some of the problem. Since cars are supposed to be one of the larger contributors to global warming, as fuel prices rise it will become more economically beneficial to find alternative fuel sources such as solar power, hybrids or other "green fuels". Thus in the next few years companies will spend more money on these technologies because they will have to to remain competitive, and are CO2 emissions will decrease as a result.

Answer 8

I'm not scared nor worried about global warming, but it's everyone's concern on the effects of the earth's atmosphere the way people live their daily lives on the environment.

The solution..

1.Convert to non-lead low sulfur fuels.

2. Carpooling or take mass transit.

3. Recycle glass, plastic, boxes paper of all types.

4. Recycle alkaline, nickel-cadmium or other types of batteries

5. Reduce emissions from buses, cars and trucks on our streets and highways as well as from industries and power plants.

Answer 9

I think people should be thinking about this in a different way. Global Warming has been going on since the peak of the ice age, and this was before cars and factories and all that crap. The thing is, everyone is to blame. Unless "We All" (not just some of us) abandon our vehicles and start riding or walking than this will be a part of the worlds problem forever.

Start building your boat.

Answer 10

nope. no reason to be scared about something that appears to be a natural solar cycle.

if the polar bears can't adapt they will perish, natural selection at work. if they perish, the food chain will correct itself. you should know, that polar bears regularly travel for miles in the open ocean in search of food/mates/etc. the picture of the polar bear on the ice floe that so saddens people was only part of the story. it was on the ice floe becaue there was a food source there/nearby. they didn't show you that because a polar bear ripping seals to shreds does not contribute to the poor little fuzzy animal feelings they wanted to elicit from people. Another thought to consider is that increased temperatures generally mean increased supplies of food sources (wether it be micro-organisms in water, the shrimp/krill, the fish, the seals, etc, it is a chained effect). Higher temps often lead to more opportunities for things to live and to multiply and thus to feed the next organism up the chain.

according to NASA, the hottest decade in the past 100+ years was in the 1930's, so we can draw a weak conclusion that the actions of humanity have played a very small to non-existent role in the fiction called global warming. it should be more accurately named periodic climactic variation. also according to the data, Mars seems to be in the midst of a similar climactic warming trend, so i really doubt if all the fossil fuels we are burning here on earth have such a far reaching impact as to affect mars.
