have you thought about this??(concerning global warming)?

Question

1. if there wasn't global warming we would still have a problem,global cooling. so instead of getting record high temperatures...we'll be getting record low temperatures. and some sports and other activities will not be able to play.
2. you cannot prevent global warming. what mother nature wants is what she will do.
3.yes, people are part of the problem, but mother nature is way ahead of us.global warming started way back in the 1800's
4. yes, people can slow down global warming to get into the ice age if we use smaller cars and not the big SUV's
5. politicians are scaring and alerting people , they are also making billions of dollars doing that.
6. the rich and famous people are using more energy and electricity(jets,limos,big house=more electricity used) than middle and lower class people....
7. give your opinions ^.^ and not stupid ones

i love seeing people get all fussed up about things like this =D why would i care about grammar on yahoo answers??hmmm???? do u like my grammar nowww??

Answer 1

Whoa...I agree with you. I really think global warming is meant to happen and that the world will end one day and thats just the way it is regardless of what people try to do now to prevent it. That being said...live life to the fullest.

Answer 2

<< 1. if there wasn't global warming we would still have a problem,global cooling. so instead of getting record high temperatures...we'll be getting record low temperatures. and some sports and other activities will not be able to play.>>

The planet goes through a series of cycles and as such it's always either warming or cooling. If there was no global warming at all then it's true to say it would be cooling.

But, global warming is parly natural and partly manmade. If there were no manmade global warming the planet would still be warming due to natural cycles, it's just that the warming would be much slower than it is.


<< 2. you cannot prevent global warming. what mother nature wants is what she will do.>>

We can't prevent the cycles that cause natural global warming and it's not practical for us to change our lifestyles to such an extent that we stop human global warming as well.

In the not too distant future, perhaps 10 to 20 years, we may have systems in place that are capable of stopping the manmade part of global warming, this is something scientists are currently working on.


<< 3.yes, people are part of the problem, but mother nature is way ahead of us.global warming started way back in the 1800's >>

It's difficult to put a start date on global warming. You could argue that the first humans contributed by breathing and lighting fires. The point at which we began to overload the natural mechanisms of the planet came shortly after the start of the Industrial Revolution, it became a serious problem about 50 years ago.

The current natural global warming cycle commenced 18,000 years ago and is the reason for the end of the last ice age. In the last 10,000 years natural warming has slowed right down but it is continuing still.


<< 4. yes, people can slow down global warming to get into the ice age if we use smaller cars and not the big SUV's >>

Spot on, conserving fuel and energy is one of the things we can do to slow down global warming.


<< 5. politicians are scaring and alerting people , they are also making billions of dollars doing that.>>

Politicians like to use any excuse to raise taxes etc and so far they've used global warming as an excuse to rake in billions of dollars but have only 'paid out' a fraction of this in the form of incentives and schemes aimed at reducing global warming.


<< 6. the rich and famous people are using more energy and electricity(jets,limos,big house=more electricity used) than middle and lower class people....>>

In the majority of cases this will be true. Rich and famous people tend to spend more, use more resources with their large houses, cars, lifestyles etc. If you draw up a list of the richest countries in the world and another list showing the countries that contribute the most per person to global warming you'll end up with two very similar lists. I'm sure the same would happen if you used people instead of countries.

Answer 3

1. Whether warming or cooling, humans have survived in the past. It's only today we got so many cry babys who are afraid to go outside.

2. Mother nature doesn't care what we do. Mother nature simply adapts. Life forms evolve. Fauna change. This is proved by the fossil record.

3. Global warming started when the last major ice age ended with many smaller cycles between then and now.

4. I want to INCREASE my carbon footprint, not decrease it. There is so much more stuff I want to use, more electric guitars, foot pedals, keyboards, computers, software, gadgets, automation...the list is endless. Better find another solution cause there aint no way I'm letting go of my SUV!

5. Politicians are lucky because there are now just as many conformists on the left as there are on the right. Very few people think for themselves.

6. And I want to be rich and famous or at least be able to live like them - private jet and all. That's the American dream. Why should some people have it all and others got to sacrifice? So they can be more slave labor?

7. Most people are sheep.

Answer 4

1. if there wasn't global warming we would still have a problem,global cooling. UH NO, WE WOULD BE MAINTAINING A STABLE AVERAGE CLIMATE. so instead of getting record high temperatures...we'll be getting record low temperatures. and some sports and other activities will not be able to play UH NO JUST BECAUSE THERE WAN=SN'T A GLOBAL WARMING WOULD THERE BE A "GLOBAL COOLING" AS STATED ABOVE THE EARTH WOULD MAINTAIN AN AVERAGE.
2. you cannot prevent global warming. what mother nature wants is what she will do YES WE CAN, ALOT. THE INDUSTRIAL AGE HAS RAISED THE CLIMATE DEGREES IN 200 YEARS. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED SINCE THE PRE-CAMBRIAN TIMES (OR NO EVIDENCE HAS EVER SHOWN THAT, EVER)
3.yes, people are part of the problem, but mother nature is way ahead of us.global warming started way back in the 1800's (UH NO, ACTUALLY IT HAS LAGGED ABOUT 20 YEARS OR SO)
4. yes, people can slow down global warming to get into the ice age if we use smaller cars and not the big SUV's 5. politicians are scaring and alerting people , they are also making billions of dollars doing that. ACTUALLY THE SCIENTISTS (ALL, AND NON-PARTISANS) HAVE NOT LIED. THEY HAVE BEEN IN UNISON. FACTS AND EVIDENCE DO NOT LIE, IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. INSTEAD, POLITICIANS HAVE WATERED DOWN THE FACTS SO THEY CAN MAKE THEIR $ - SEE BIG OIL AND ANY OF THE TOP 10 CORPORATIONS, ALL WHICH HAVE EVADED GLOBAL WARMING RESTRICTIONS. ALL WITH HIGHHLY CONSERVATIVE-TIES
6. the rich and famous people are using more energy and electricity(jets,limos,big house=more electricity used) than middle and lower class people.... TRUE. BUT ALSO THE POOR ARE USING SLASH-AND-BURN PRACTICES, CAUSING GREAT LOCAL CLIMATE SHIFTS, RIGHT AWAY AND CONSISTENTLY. ADDING EACH "SPOT" IS EFFECTING OUR LONG-TERM CLIMATE
7. give your opinions ^.^ and not stupid ones

Answer 5

OK, you have probably heard a lot of people say that Global Warming is just a natural cycle, and that there's nothing we can do to stop it from occurring. While there is some truth to that (Global Warming is a natural cycle, and it's going to occur no matter what) there's something else out there that's messing up this natural cycle, and is making it like nothing the world has ever seen before. That new factor is human activities. Human activities directly affect the greenhouse effect (which directly affects Global Warming), you see greenhouse gases a natural in the atmosphere to keep us from freezing over, but since the beginning of the industrial age, we (humans) have added excess greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that aren't suppose to be there (and the more we add the harder it is for the earth to remove them). These excess gases trap more heat and release less causing the whole earth to heat up (a.k.a. Global Warming) this is NOT good because the slightest change in the earth's climate systems can affect the entire thing. Causing new climate patterns to emerge that we may not be able to adapt to (and about 1/3 to 2/3 of the worlds species as well).

But there is still hope. We currently have all of the technology, money, man power, and resources we need to EFFECTIVLEY slow Global Warming back down to its modest warming over thousands of years.

To get more information, evaluate your daily impact, and to find out how you can start reducing your daily impact (cheaply) go to climatecrisis.org and/or think.mtv.com and/or nasa.gov and/ or http://liveearth.msn.com/green/myths

And if this still isn't working for you then I have a question for you. In about 30 years (if humans haven’t decide to change our ways, go green, and slow down the effects of Global Warming to its natural rate) and the effects of Global Warming have set in so far that there's nothing we can do or any one after us can do to reverse what WE have done, and my children/grandchildren and you children/grandchildren have to live with the horrible effects What are you going to say? What are you going to say when they ask you, "What were you thinking? Why didn't you do anything?"

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY?

Answer 6

1. That's as may be. But it hardly means warming is a good thing.

2. Mother Nature has no particular wants and desires. If the climate changes, it's because something caused it to change, Mother Nature need not be involved.

3. Yep. Global warming started in the mid nineteenth century. Right about the start of the Industrial Revolution. Granted, the bulk of the warming occured after 1940. But that's when most scientists generally agree that human activites overwhelmed other natural forcings anyway.

4. Slowing the effects of global warming will not throw us into an ice age. That idea is kind of dumb.

5. Who cares what they're doing? Politicians have precisely zippo to do with global warming theory.

6. Who cares? The rich and famous people have precisely zippo to do with global warming theory.

7. Enjoy.

Answer 7

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Unless we can agree on a cause and a cure, its just going to be another hotly debated topic ala The War, AIDS, The Economy, Politics.
Human Nature: Argue about something till you're tired of that subject, then move on to the next. Thank you all for your concern, but you guys really need to get a life.

Answer 8

it is truly all a huge hoax cooked up via Al Gore, in his attempt to maintain the spotlight on himself after dropping the presidential election to George W. Bush in 2000. on a similar time as the Earth is unquestionably warming up, there is not any data that it is been affected in any respect via people. in case you're truly involved in this, check out some stuff from Dr. William gray from Colorado State college.

Answer 9

yes i agree, i believe global warming is happening but we have no control over it, it is natural, yes using less gas and such would help but only a little. and al gore, his movie an incovient truth, hmm.. lets think about this for a second... how does he travel? not by a huge private jet that uses an enourmous ammount of fuel... and he of course dosent live in a huge house that uses lots of electricty.... ( that was sarcasm) but yes u r right

Answer 10

actually, it's gone on for over a million years, and i think that global warming is just the popular fad for the rich and famous. instead of worrying about what might happen in 200 years, they should be worrying about what's going on now ( like Dur-far, and education, and poverty). I guess global warming makes a better t-shirt then genocide does, and it's easier to recycle a can then to care about a child starving on the other side of the world
