what are key elements contributing to global warming?

Question

I am doing an english project for a grade 12 advance class. You have to choose a topic that has meaning to you, and well I took on the topic Global warming. The enviroment is very important to me. Part of the project is to ask a speicalist a few questions, so if you are a specialist on Global warming if would be really awesome if you could answer a few questions for me :)

Answer 1

all those chemical industries and plastic/polymers producing industries producing lot of toxic gases like cfc, co2, sulphur oxides, all sorts of acids, big steel refinries, cement units, fertilizers if not take precaution for producing green house gases then it a real big big problem for global warming. we are paying for technology u c by way of global warming

Answer 2

natural cycles are causing global warming.

man made global warming is caused by greed and poweron the part of environmental groups.

we can't change nature. the warming cycle IS natural, just like the big scare for global cooling was the biggest problem in the 70's.

it was a natural fluctuation too.

here are some of the predictions i grew up with over the past 40 years:

famine
mass death
shifting of food production regions
climate change
overpopulation
global cooling
mass starvation
massive glaciers
uninhabitable places on earth
running out of fossil fuel
pollution physically altering man (through adaptation)

all this was supposed to happen by the year 2000, and if man didn't stop using fossil fuels. we had 30+ years of "irrefutable data" showing that man caused it too.

but we didn't stop, we used more!

STRANGELY, NOT ONE PREDICTION HAS CAME TRUE YET!

now i'm supposed to "believe" global warming

Answer 3

First, CFCs and CO2 massive emission.
Second, greenhouse effects strengthened by the unstoppable high-rising builidings.
Third, deforestations in many countries.
Fourth, political interests and economic purposes.
Fifth, world-over crowded population thus leads to rapid and huge clearance of lands or forests for shelter, accomodation, and food production purposes.
Sixth, public or global desensitization of the horrifying effects of global warming.
Seventh, no real-big and constant campaigns or movements of putting words into actions, like planting trees in massive scale.
Eighth, skeptics that are too skeptical about everything who only likes to argue about their opinions, than trying to face the reality.
Ninth, expensive prices of more environmental-friendly products.
Tenth, public and global unawareness of using more environmentally products.

Answer 4

A willing media and a public that scares easy. These are the two things you need to perpetuate man made global warming.

Answer 5

If the environment is so important to you then it is crucial that you do complete research on the topic. If you did that you would find out that the only legitimate element contributing to global warming is nature.

Answer 6

Hot air being spewed forth by Hollywood celebrities and failed politicians; mostly talking about global warming.

Answer 7

Here's a nice graph showing the key elements, from the Source below:

Answer 8

the use of CFCS in the earlier part of the 20th century sealed the deal that Global Warming was being accelerated. we are already coming out of the tail end of ice age and entering a dry age, so the earth's heating up naturally somewhat. but because of our extreme use an burning of fossil fuels (just one example), we are speeding up the process to our deaths.

this is why we are coming up with better fuel options and hybrids

Answer 9

The Sun, Al Gore, our tax money, propaganda.

Answer 10

The rise of the machines... and selfishness, of course ;)
