Is Global Warming real?

Question

At 11:00 am Dec 9, the temperature in Los Angeles, Ca is 60%

At 11:00 am Dec 9 the temperature in Grayson , Ga is 75%

Normally its warmer in California and cooler or colder in the South.

Could changing temperature indicate a change is taking place?

Answer 1

It is a world wide controversy on the theory of Global Warming. Personally, I believe that Global warming is going on. I mean come on...for one, where I live just had its hottest summer in its history, and there is not snow in DECEMBER! Where my sister lives, which is Montana didn't get snow until just the beginning of December. There are tons of forest fires going on up there, and when I was up there this summer I almost died of the humid heat. Things are just getting hotter...even in normally hot areas.

Answer 2

you will as well soon enough .
The price of beer may go up ,because of potable water shortage
and food prices may rise because the third world food producing countries got lots of problems due to Global Warming.
one degree rise in temperature means 10% crop loss-


In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before.
Millions of animals died and the crocodile ,who are abundant in that area were delighted.

In India 3000 people died because of super storms .
Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming
a few years ago a whole bunch in France as well.

these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand
and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors

In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing

when the north pole is gone , you may have polar bears soon in America ,looking for a home ,as the bollweavel sings.

so that is the good news you can add another specie to your list ,instead of deleting hundreds that are disappearing

the biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,this affects the insect populations that follow ,and changes in that affect all that follows in the food chains ,All life is interrelated of both flora and fauna,

And we as being on the top of the food chain are always the last to know

So Global warming has its toll there are incidents all over the world ,

Answer 3

Due to an increased collection of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere, more heat from the sun is trapped on the earth than before. Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas, and is released through car exhaust, and any other burning of fossil fuels. So yes, global warming is indeed a reality. However, the Bible at Revelation 11: 18 says that God will "..bring to ruin those ruining the earth." There is hope for the earth, and for mankind.

You cannot take individual years weather and conclude anything. Even when you believe AL, the average temperature change is like 1/100 - 2/100 of a degree each year (1-2 degrees every 100 YEARS). As the graphs show, it takes hundreds of years to make a big difference.

Answer 5

Global temperatures are DRIVEN by ocean temperatures.
Air temperature has VERY LITTLE/Almost No effect on oceans.
The El NINO, LA NINA effects seem out of sync = not following normal patterns.
The only reason I can see is Heat from the earth's Mantel effecting oceans.
Study this web site to understand how much Heat we are sitting/standing on:

Another web page on effects of oceans:
IPCC - Call it propaganda, not science
http://www.nov55.com/ipcc.html
""The IPCC needs a lesson in geology to avoid making fundamental mistakes," he says. "Most leading geologists, throughout the world, know that the IPCC's view of Earth processes are implausible if not impossible."

Answer 6

These kinds of figures have no significance unless trends are established over a longer period of time. The most significant data concerns the reduction of ice masses in the polar regions - something which is new, appears irreversible, and is already causing significant long-term changes. Yes, global warming is a fact.

Answer 7

Have you ever heard about how cold it can get in California in the summer sometimes?

It is nothing but nature being nature, and nothing humans can do, short of setting off a few hundred nuclear weapons is going to come even close to what a meteor in the Yucatan Peninsula did 65 millon years ago.

Humans should not give themselves so much credit, as not even 10 billion cars is going to change the temperature of the ocean by even 1 degree.

Answer 8

Yes, it's real and mostly caused by us.

But short term weather in a couple of places is not proof.

Here's proof:

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/home_page/412.php?lb=hmpg1&pnt=412&nid=&id=

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know... Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point. You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Answer 9

Well people who say we aren't having an effect in the environment are completely wrong. We produce tons of CO2 every year and individual house holds produce tons of it also. We are increasing the green house effect on our planet and the global temperature is rising every year and it won't stop until we get rid of the oil and gasoline.

Answer 10

read all your answers,i see and im proud to say, we know so.now watch "planet in peril",and see for your self.our mother is diying right before our eyes,wake up before there is no coffee to smell!!! climate changes are just symptoms of our negligence,eradication and extinction of flora and fauna,pollution and so on.we are at fault.
