If the earth heats up will the 2 polls of the earth weaken resulting in the earth getting farther from the sun, resulting in a cool down of the earth and a strengthen of the earths polls bringing us back close to the sun..and forever repeated...
If everyone in a hot country threw ice cubes or water outside in the warm weather would it cool the earth down by drying up and then raining more than it naturally would?
If global warming is causing these hurricanes, tornadoes, floors and tsunami's will they cut down on global warming due to the death of humans and animals(because we breath in gases and out carbon gases... and all the other ways we use electric and gases)
If the ice caps melt and we get more floods many more plants will grow taking away the carbon and giving oxygen cooling down the earth
If we created a device that would literally change carbon gases into other gases(this is possible) would it be possible to reverse global warming

If we got so many floods that the earth would be freezing(like an ice age or the day after tomorrow), would this major cut off of life reduce so much carbon over a while of time that eventually the earth would be back to normal?

In response to "Mike": #2 maybe the energy used to create ice cubes is a smaller amount compared to the temperature from the ice, i also said water...
#3 I wasn't suggesting people should die, I was just talking about the people who die from it anyway naturally... maybe god created the earth to fight back
#5 Maybe it could be solar powered or something not resulting in a temperature rise

With respect to the points that you made:
1.Heating the earth will not change the orbit of the earth.
2. With respect to ice cubes, it requires energy to make ice cubes. You heat up the environment by making ice.
3. With respect to hurricanes the answer is no. We will have to upgrade our emergency preparedness programs to handle stronger and more frequent hurricanes. We would never encourage the death of people in natural disasters for any reason. Such a suggestion is extremly immoral and should not even be considered.
4. It is possible that with Global Warming we will get more plant production and that will increase the rate at which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.
5. Although carbon dioxide can be converted to other molecules that are less harmful to the environment, that requires energy which defeats your purpose, unless that energy was made using sources that do not require fossil fuel.

Science is a good place to start.
The three laws of thermodynamics are abbreviated 1) you can't win, 2) you can't break even and 3) you can't get out of the game.
A few points.
The quantity of carbon dioxide that is required to increase atmospheric temperature 1 degree is SO ENORMOUS that growing trees, driving hybrids, riding bicycles and so on will make little difference.
Also 2 or 3 billion Chinese switching from bicycles to cars cannot be offset by 100 million Americans downsizing their cars.
Eventually, when we get really desperate, we'll try something like dropping H bombs in the desert to put dust into the upper atmosphere.
This is what Carl Sagan referred to as nuclear winter.
Until then, watch out for government programs that cost a trillion dollars and make no difference.

You are trying to think cyclically .... and nature is a cycle... but I don't believe your cycles are on... good thought.. but not quite right.
-our mass and speed dictates our distance from the sun.. not our electromagnetic pull...which wouldn't change anyway.
- everyone throwing ice: This, if enough ice was thrown.. could temporarily lower the surface air temperature of a local region (it would take a LOT of ice) and would add to the amount of sunlight reflected off the surface instead of absorbed... but would do nothing to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere except for adding to them by means of the energy consumption used to produce the ice.
-living is part of the natural cycle.. animals, plants... even this planet "lives" and is a part of this cycle... volcanoes and cattle are not the problem... they are needed to keep the delicate balance that our plants rely on.. and so on and so forth. Plus humans are highly adaptive and without a mass extinction killing a few off doesn't really do much to effect our total output.
-floods don't = more plants. Granted, there has been some research that has shown that to an extent.. higher carbon dioxide levels = hardier plants that absorb more (when they have more sunlight)... but that doesn't really matter since we are burning down the rain forests.. the worlds greatest producers of oxygen.. at alarming rates.
-They have thought about the carbon gas exchange and can't currently have it be effective. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070418091932.htm it would be great! don't get me wrong.... but that's like saying "Hey, I'm going to keep smoking because they are going to find the cure for lung cancer before I die of it"... it just doesn't make a lot of since to RELY on it when you can prevent the problem up front.

I think that we have violated the earth to much. By this I mean all the building, concrete and blacktopped areas, were once where dirt was. The earth has had her input of water absorption cut way down by these things being in place.

Well, Global Warming is real as scientific resaults show. Even if it's not real it can't hurt to take care of our Earth. We need to take action. Please visit: http://www.dogwalkeraz.com/survey.htm and tell us what you think. Once you send it, it will tell you ways to help the Earth and these problems. Also, you can see what older people said too.
Thanks and Take Care--

assuming you are serious....NO! these are silly suggestions, besides nature already has a HUGE, efficient device to absorb excess carbon. (and it's not trees folks!)

Are you retarded?
Global warming is political BS to make you vote for Democrats.
Terrorists destroying the US way of life is the Republican method of getting votes.
Just to be clear I am not a dem or a repub..They are both equally stupid and corrupt.
