Global Warming!! Okay i have a paper due Friday on this why would i stop global warming and it has to be 3 pgs

Question

Whhy would i stop global warming and i have NOOO clue about anything on global warming Help please!

Answer 1

you cant stop global warming because it is a natural cycle.

Answer 2

Well, the answer is not that simple. I agree with the person who said it depends on who you ask. I live in a mountain area. Snow the last 2 winters has been dismal, causing allot of fires. Is this global warming? I'm not sure, but in the last 20 years the snow has been less and less. So something is happening. You can find a lot of info from alarm est, or just concerned people. Maybe the world is cycling toward something different. The seasons change so why not the earth as a whole? I wish that I had an answer, hell I think we all do. Just try to be a little more aware of your garbage, how you use your car, things that you think might help.

Answer 3

This is an interesting question but the first question to ask is "Would you want to stop global warming and what are the consequences of it or stopping it?" The next thing to understand is that this question is purely hypothetical because no one is sure that global warming is "controllable" and many dispute it is man-made.\

Climate changes have a variety of affects that could be used in such a paper. One is that some species will fail to adapt to the changes and become extinct. Others will adapt and change.

Climates will change and some areas could change drastically. The Midwest US has at different times been covered with ice and been a tropical swamp. It snowed in the 1800s in the New England states in June during the last "Little Ice Age". Some places could become deserts.

Ocean levels could rise. Some coastal areas and islands could be completely covered. This could change where some people live.

Warmer oceans could potentially cause more hurricanes and typhoons. Some people also predict more earthquakes.

Answer 4

The question does not ask you to debate global warming, only WHY you would STOP it. It does not ask you to prove it is happening nor does it ask you to analyse all the arguments. It doesn't even ask you HOW. It simply asks you 'why' you, personally, would stop it. Don't get sidetracked. Answer the question and argue your reasons.
(Outline your understanding of global warming and it's effects in your opening paragraph)

You can use the net, obviously... so go online and research global warming instead of asking others to do the work for you.
It is through research and reading you will gain an understanding of this topic.
Then you can answer the question: why would YOU stop global warming... because everyone has their own reasons and beliefs. You need to ascertain which reasons are the most important to YOU and why.
It's not a hard paper....nor a long one, but it does require some serious thought, because it is a serious issue. Take it seriously and show some effort, because it's pretty sad and embarrassing that you have 'noooo clue' about such an important issue.
To put it bluntly: your life, and the life of your future children and everyone else's might depend on your knowledge and actions... it affects everyone, and it will take everyone's effort to slow it down and/or adapt our lifestyle to cope with the changes. This includes YOU.
The undisputable fact is this: It IS happening. At a much faster rate than ever. Whether man made, influenced or natural, whether it can be slowed, what the effects will be or not and what we can do to slow it, these are debateable points of view depending on who you ask. This paper is simply asking YOUR points of view on the effects of global warming, so research the effects of global warming and present your case.

Answer 5

There are several reasons to want to slow or stop global warming. Rising sea levels could inundate low lying areas and force millions (if not billions from their homes). The movement of these people would cause widespread strife in the third world and create a public health nightmare. Secondly, a raplidly changing environment causes animals to go extinct. Polar bears would be a good example. Slowing the warming can allow these species more time to adapt their behavior to the new conditions. Finally, global warming will disrupt global food production. Farmers are generally slow to adjust crop production and a rapidly changing environment would result in lower crop yield. Again, this would strike the 3rd world most acutely as there is not sufficient infrastructure to handle an education & seed program to deal with even slight environmental changes.

Answer 6

I rarely hear the question "Why" would I stop global warming. Usually we skip right over "why" and go to "how." But, addressing "why" sounds like fun:

Refer to the graph "Global Temperature and Atmospheric CO2 over Geologic Time" at the source below. Note that the global temperature "likes" to be 12C or 22C. It does NOT like to be in the middle where we are now. Take the position that we should expect a change. Historic precedent suggests that we probably cannot keep the world around 16C like it is now. So, should we help it cool to 12C or help it heat to 22C?

Decide if the world would be a better place if more of it warmed to resemble Hawaii or would it be better to chill so more of it is like Greenland.

Treating the topic this way should enliven both alarmists and skeptics. See what I mean about a "fun" topic?

Answer 7

A serious answer, here.

Why would you stop it? Because, if Dr. John Martin is correct (see supporting evidence below), then it would be relatively easy to balance the carbon cycle. So, if it's that easy, why not?

Check out SOFeX. Dr. John Martin showed that by fertilizing the phytoplankton of the south Pacific with iron, the whole problem of global warming might easily be reversed.

Martin's famous 1991 quip at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, "Give me a half a tanker of iron and I will give you another ice age"[3][2], drove a decade of research whose findings suggested that iron deficiency was not merely impacting ocean ecosystems, it also offered a key to mitigating climate change as well.

Martin hypothesized that increasing phytoplankton photosynthesis could slow or even reverse global warming by sequestering enormous volumes of CO2 in the sea. He died shortly thereafter during preparations for Ironex I [4].

A proof of concept research voyage was successfully carried out near the Galapagos Islands in 1993 by his colleagues at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories[2]. Since then 9 other international ocean trials have confirmed the iron fertilization effect:
Ironex II , 1995[5]

SOIREE (Southern Ocean Iron Release Experiment), 1999[6]
EisenEx (Iron Experiment), 2000[7]

SEEDS (Subarctic Pacific Iron Experiment for Ecosystem Dynamics Study), 2001[8]

SOFeX (Southern Ocean Iron Experiments - North & South), 2002[9][10]

SERIES (Subarctic Ecosystem Response to Iron Enrichment Study), 2002[11]

SEEDS-II, 2004[12]

EIFEX (European Iron Fertilization Experiment), 2004[13]

CROZEX (CROZet natural iron bloom and Export experiment), 2005[14]

Perhaps the most dramatic support for Martin's hypothesis was seen in the aftermath of the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.

Environmental scientist Andrew Watson analyzed global data from that eruption and calculated that it deposited approximately 40,000 tons of iron dust into the oceans worldwide.

This single fertilization event generated an easily observed global decline in atmospheric CO2 and a parallel pulsed increase in oxygen levels.

Answer 8

Major American Report: "The Pentagon Report"
Major English Report: "The Stern Review"
These two should pretty much cover a lot of the negative outcomes of climate change.
If I were you I'd break it down into:
-. changing weather patterns resulting in:-
----severe storms and flooding, drought.
------- food and water shortages
------------biodiversity loss (the majority of life on earth if we keep going)
--------------- economic chaos/war

In the end your answer has got to do with the humans who will live on Earth, their lifestyles and the quality of the natural environment.

Some specific examples are the deaths of coral and marine creatures - jellyfish seem to be the only things that are doing better!
Australian wheat production is likely to drop dramatically.

Answer 9

for some years, environmentalism has been the Left's ultimate excuse for increasing government administration over our movements in techniques the two super and small. it rather is for mom Earth! it rather is for the youngsters! it rather is for the whales! yet interior the previous, the doomsday-subject environmental scares they have trumped up have not been super adequate to furnish the sinister prize they choose maximum of all: entire administration of yank politics, financial activity, or maybe man or woman habit. With international warming, besides the shown fact that, greenhouse gasbags can argue that vehicle emissions in Ohio threaten human beings in Paris, and that for the duration of basic terms international government can handle such issues. nationwide sovereignty? Democracy? ignore it: international warming has now extra the Left closer to international government, statism, and the eradication of man or woman rights than it has ever been until eventually now.

Answer 10

I guess you have to figure out why warmer nights and longer growing seasons is going to destroy all life on earth. Increased efficiency of photosynthesis sounds like the end of all life as well.

What is the downside of global warming? There is none unless you are that rare polar bear that can't swim!!!

Answer 11

if it is happening, which depends on the green-weenie you ask. i remember the "we're going to be in the new ice age by 2000" there is no reason to worry stopping it. the earth cycles, warmer then colder, warmer then colder. that's the way it works. there was a time, not to long ago i100's of thousands of years ago that Canada was buried under glaziers. happy we had global warming and when the vikings landed on Greenland, it was GREEN. they built villages and planted crops. sorry i can't help you with your paper, i think it would be more amusing to hear how your teacher thinks stopping it is possible, not why it should be done.
