Do you think that global warming is a problem?

Question

I don't. It gets 120 something here in the summer, but I think thats just cuz thats normal. Also, it gets REALLY cold, like 50 so I don't think global warming is a problem.

farenheit.

Answer 1

Erica, I don't believe that global warming is a problem.

It is true that the earth has been warming. Some scientist believe, It is coming out of the "Little Ice Age".

However, there is no credible evidence that it is due to mankind and carbon dioxide. We've been coming out of a "Little Ice Age" for 300 years. We have not been making very much carbon dioxide for 300 years. It's been warming up for a long time.

Though, humans are polluting the air and adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but the effect is tiny.

Answer 2

Global warming is happening, notice how the na-sayers never give a source, they can only offer a personal opinion. Climate change is just one piece of the big picture of how man kind has been exponentially destroying the planet since the beginning of the industrial age. It is like a big blanket with many strands of yarn woven together and connected to make the whole. If you can honestly open your eyes to what is happening, you will see over population, excessive natural resource consumption, pollution of every type, loss of farm land, depletion of and degradation of natural system and animal populations below sustainable levels soon leading to mass extinctions... and many more depressing things going on. Most of these people are probably so separated from the natural world they have no clue of how things work. A bench mark for climate change that I like to point out is the observations by native and primitive peoples all over the planet of what is happening. These are not politicains or scientist with big degrees, these are people who know their environment intimately because that is how they survive. These people often do not have written records, they use oral traditions of story telling and legands to tie themselves to the past and those who came before them and in somes cases for thousands of years... why are there so many things happening that these people see that most of us do not. Eskimos with several dozen words for different types of snow, but no word for thunder (they had never heard it before untill several years ago), new insects that they have never seen before and other phanomina like Robins way north above the Arctic Circle that have had to name in their language because they were unknown before. These are the things that you can uncover for yourself that is fact not opinion. Not good at math and science, that's OK... talk with old people who have lived somewhere for a long time, and ask them what has changed and why. Ask them if the seasons are longer or shorter, warmer and dryer, if there are animals gone and new ones they had not seen before... but then again, you must be able to believe what you see and hear and be open to the truth... not what you want to pretend reality is.

Answer 3

Those of you who do not believe that the planet is heating up at non-normal levels are either very ignorant or American., I have worked at the top of the North Pole for 10 years and therefore witness the most extreme changes in weather. there has been a steady increase in our annual temperature every year for the last 10 years. Thousands of Scientist worldwide have agreed that the planet is heating up at an abnormal rate. But what can you expect from a country who thought an unprovoked attack on another country would was right`?

Answer 4

No I do not. There are many scientists who believe that a warming of the planet could even be beneficial. During the Medieval Warm Period, temperatures were much warmer than they are today, and people enjoyed great prosperity from bumper crops. I think that global warming will be minor, but what little warming will happen will be beneficial.

Answer 5

I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think you understand what "global warming" is. You must be sitting at a computer to come on to Y!A, so you literally have millions of sources of information at your fingertips. Maybe you should take a few minutes to look up what it actually means?

Answer 6

You must completely DUMB if you don't think global warming is a problem! Look around! The ice caps are melting - bad! One day, when they all melt, America will be underwater. And yea, I know, you probably don't care - but we can stop it! Some of the things we do are really harmful and are completely unecessary.

Answer 7

Increased greenhouse gases should cause a moderation in climate with most of the warming coming from the coldest winter days and night time temperatures. Alarmists only see the negative and refuse to acknowledge the numerous benefits because it doesn't fit their blame everything on humanity, industry, and free markets agenda.

Answer 8

Do we have the luxury of 'thinking' is is a problem?
Should we doubt it when doubting the theory may allow the fact to get out of control?
It's much easier to go on using cars and burning other fossil fuels rather than alter our culture.
It's much easier to walk off cliffs with our eyes closed!

Answer 9

I think it is a growing problem and even though humans are not completely to blame i think we should do out bit to try to stop it or at least slow down the effects of it.

Answer 10

yes indeed
the conservation of energy law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.in this case most energy is in the form of heat.another reason is our biosphere lets more heat in from the sun than heat already on earth can escape which causes the greenhouse effect.
