Greenland and the extent of the ice melting? Nations fighting for oil & passage rights? Did you know?

Question

Global warming is real. Over 25% increase of melting leaving the areas open for shipping, oil exploration and dispute. The highest melt down ever recorded. AND you laugh about AL Gore?
Take a look. Canada Russia Poland? Environmentally it can create catastrophic ends to our crop production and result in more damage than anticipated. It has happened way to fast.

What do you think? If atleast you learn my post is worth it. I was amazed but it is a serious worry. ON ABC News tonight but on LiveScience.com /Space.com each will email you info.

Answer 1

IT IS HORRIBLE! Yeah so what this new passage opens up, and now there is a possibility of finding huge reserves of oil, this still doesn't justify continuing business as usual. The opening of this passage and the new found prospects of oil could plunge the world into another world war, not to mention the warming of the North Pole beginning accelerated due to a new expanse of Black Ocean.

(to catch up the people who really don't know the truth about global warming)
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 2

I really don't care that much about polar bears and if the arctic sea were ice free in summer I have no problem with that. I think it will NOT create catastrophic ends to our crop production. That is just alarmist speculation about possible rainfall changes, but it is just as likely that rain fall patterns will change in ways the benefit agriculture. One thing is certain, there there will be more rainfall world wide because higher temperatures will cause more evaporation which will have to rain back out somewhere. Canada and Russia in particular will BENEFIT from a warmer climate when the northern areas of those countries that cannot presently support agriculture get warm enough to grow crops.

Answer 3

Well we laugh at Al Gore cause his fancy Mansion guzzles more Gas than Bush's Solar powered Crawford Ranch (yeah the President accused of going to War for Oil actually has Solar Power on his Crawford Home, by the way people where is that Oil from Iraq anyways? last I checked Gas is still going up but the Iraqis have cheaper Oil than we do).

Some Greenlanders have cheered the ice melting because now they can grow fresh Potatoes instead of always importing Potatoes from Denmark.

Yeah I have heard of disputes over North Pole, but I think anyone who tries to drill there will get lumps of coal in their stocking.

Answer 4

Funny you should mention Canada. Last month I was fishing the inlets on Georgian Bay, Ontario. Water is down three to five feet from what it was just a few years ago. The only "melt-down" we're seeing is the liberal left losing its battle for supremacy. They're always coming up with a new topic to try to freak everybody out, claiming they are the only ones with answers. Try watching the real news, like Fox. Listen to talk-radio once in a while. We have to continually put up with the liberal banter, why can't you/they entertain us and really hear the truth for a while.

Answer 5

marilyn -- the Global Warming forecast is for the oceans to rise. You are fishing in the bay of a lake. I can just picture you people joking around the campsite with absolutely no idea how foolish you sound.

Hope you have a video you'd like to share.

Answer 6

Like the climate is supposed to be static. Climate always changes. if it didn't Canada, and Scandinavia would be under miles thick ice sheets.

At some time it will cool down again. The Sun is the source of all of Earths energy, not man.

Answer 7

Yes, and until we change our lives and prepare for this, it will be disasterous. There's nothing we can do to stop it, and we did nothing to start it. It's the planet's cycle and way of cleaning itself, we have to change with it in order to survive. Just because it hasn't happened while we were here yet, we are clueless, but we do know, it happened before.

Answer 8

Its a hidden agenda to create a culture of fear. Are you seriously still thinking that what the news tells you is truth?
