What is your reactions on Global Warming????

Question

I really need to know.

Answer 1

Global warming is here to stay. The world cannot make changes fast enough to stop the effects of Global Warming. But we must still make changes to slow it down for future generations. If one wishes to study the effects of Global Warming all they have to do is study the climate on the planet Venus. Much can be learned from the effects on Venus. It's never too late but we must act swiftly. Over the next 50 years we will lose many animals and plants to Global Warming. I fear the results will be devastating. Man must learn from its mistakes if we are going to survive on this planet.

Answer 2

My reactions are that it is really happening, it is caused by our greenhouse gases, and not just a regular earth cycle. Some scientists point out that the Earth has gone through warming and cooling cycles. I don't dispute that, but that is long term, meaning we and several generations are going to have to suffer. Also, I think we are causing this go round of warming, not volcanoes, the sun, or any other natural factors.

I have a theory that has not been discussed. We are told our air is polluted by ozone. Then we are told the ozone layer above the earth is shrinking. Maybe scientists can figure out a way to make this ozone rise to fill those gaps. Perhaps that happenned naturally when the Earth got pretty hot and the ozone was forced to rise, providing a protective cover, which then cooled the earth into what we now call the Ice Age. Now if we can just figure out how to repeat that with the ozone we have so as not to wait a million years because rumor has it that a few of us will be dead by then. In the meantime, we need to have a contingency plan in case we cannot figure out how to make the ozone rise. We need a worldwide policy requiring all new factories, refineries, or power plants to utilize strong state-of-the-art emissions controls. Already built facilities would have 10 years to make the change or shut down completely. Facilities currently under construction would have 5 years.

Also, all vehicles, commercial and residential should have new emissions standards such as the minimum that today's hybrid can do, so that every new vehicle produced anywhere in the world from 2012 on will have either the current hybrid technology or anything of the manufacturer's choice that produces similar or better mileage. That would mean dump trucks, bulldozers, and cranes would also have to utilize one of the technologies of biofuel, hybrid, or hydrogen to get better mileage and thus better emissions.

Another idea that is not my own, but I love, is to harness the solar power of the sun on the moon, beam it satellites and down to satellite dishes, then put that in the power grid and wulah! every power plant in the world can shut down and then only charge a minimum for power usage so that the governments funding the project will be getting some reimbursements for their multibillion dollar investments in planet Earth. Then all gas or all gas powered equipment (cars, lawnmowers, chain saws, weedeaters, generators, bulldozers, etc.) can be taxed heavily for using fossil fuels instead of the cheap environmentally friendly solar power.

Answer 3

My reaction to global climate change is to work for the last seventeen years on solution to the economic problems that must be over come. this is why I am writing a book called Coopracy and Universal capitalism 21st century stuff.
Coopracy is the generic reference to democracy only Coopracy is evolutionary in that it works through the accumulation of insight, through the intuition , that is if an answer to a problem is intuited to be right positive and logical in that it aids the survival of the culture, then it is highly likely that the idea will naturally be agreed with.
Universal capitalism is about creating alternative viable means of enabling a local economy that reduces emissions at the same time impoving the wealth out comes of the people who form Coopracies around the means of founding the economy.
In this way we can incrementally reduce emissions, all over the world and in time because of the exponential increase in emissions free communities we can in theory reduce emissions to an agreable minimum.
So that is the plan I hope you join me all are welcome
So you see my reaction is I can do nothing about a changing climate on this planet but we can work together to reduce the suffering that may be caused by those natural events that may radomly occur.

Answer 4

I say carpe diem (seize the day)! Even though we probably can't reverse the effects of global warming, we could at least do our best to prevent any more from happening. We could recycle more, use more powerful air filters, learn as much as we can about global warming, pick up trash, filter polluted water, use solar panels for electricity, use other methods of transportation or gas, and so on.

I do believe in global warming, but many people do not. That's fine, and I respect their opinions. But even so, I think, from their point of view, we should try to prevent it from happening in the future. This is a major debate and many people argue about it. I think that maybe global warming was never really the main issue; politics, money, and power probably are, and I've seen this for myself.

It saddens me when I see our beautiful planet in jeopardy, and I try to learn as much as I can about it when I have the chance. I want to help my planet, and I hope that maybe one day I will become an environmental scientist so I can influence the environment positively.

I know I rambled on, but I hope that my answer is sufficient to your question. Thank you for giving me the chance to speak out!

Answer 5

For me its personal. I come from a family that does it everyday. We live on a military base here in Southern California and they actually endorse such a thing. We shop using cloth bags, so there is really no need to use the supermarket bags. When we buy bags we use a special kind so that when it ends up in a landfill it breaks down really fast and becomes like a type of mulch for the earth. We drive one Hybrid, but only recently I lost my car, not by choice though, and have been using Public Transportation here In San Diego Co., so yes we are a one family car type of deal,in fact I told myself the next time I buy a car it will be a hybrid,but I wont be able to afford that for at least 5 more years, so yes I will be on the bus, we recycle most of everything that crosses threw our house anyways, we listen to T.V. programs like "The Discovery Channel" and I listen to a local channel here in my county and city that is based on topics such as these that my Community College talks about as well as the news, keep in mind what the professionals are saying and take "the small steps toward a better way of living" and not argue with the people who have the degree to begin with and apply what they are saying to our lives, after all taking the right steps in the right directions is better than taking no steps at all,right? I am open minded about the topic and choose not to say such things like "Oh, thats a bunch of bunk!" We have replaced all of our old-fashioned light bulbs with the ones that are recommended these days, and yes they are easier on your lighting bill. But now I find people asking "What the heck for?" Well like I said its personal, I was watching The Discovery Channel and I saw a Polar Bear swimming for dear life, after all, their home is supposed to be on ice , not on water, therefor they are not designed to swim, and then they drown. Its an image I really don't think I'll ever be able to get out of my head. Well enough said, just my $.02 worth.

Answer 6

Global warming does not exist!! It is just a scare tactic of the liberals! The earth is just as warm as it was 2000 years ago!!

Answer 7

Global warming is just the Earth returning to its normal state.

http://www.lakepowell.net/sciencecenter/paleoclimate.htm

The geological record shows that the Earth is normally hotter than it is now. For about 80 million years, during the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods the Earth's average global temperature was around 22ºC, compared to 14ºC now. For about 55 million years during the Triassic and Jurassic periods the Earth's average global temperature was again around 22ºC. For a brief million or so years during the Permian period the Earth's average global temperature was above 23ºC. For about 25 million years during the Devonian and Silurian periods, the Earth's average global temperature was again around 22ºC. For about 50 million years during the Cambrian and Ordovician periods the Earth's average global temperature was around 22ºC. There were four major Ice Ages during that time span, we are climbing out of one now.

Answer 8

I remember seeing pictures of people walking across the iced over East River. When the Vikings discovered America, Greenland was farm land. In the 1900s the tide came up as much as is predicted for this century. Did anybody remember or care? I doubt it. Bob Hickey

Answer 9

Global warming is of minor consequence because the Lord Jesus, the Creator of the earth, is returning soon. When He returns and stands on the Mount of Olives, He will rule and reign for 1000 years. (Rev ch.20) The earth certainly will not become uninhabitable because this prophesy has to happen. Beyond that, the whole earth is to be destroyed making way for a new heaven and a new earth. (rev ch 21)
