Is Global Warming Real?

Question

it is true that the earth is getting warmer, but some people say that it is just a cycle. I have also heard that when most facorties where starting that the temperature acually went down. Some people also say that the ice caps in the north are shinking but the ones in the south are growing. im not sure if i believe that global warming is real.

tell me your opinion or state some facts or give me some sites to look at to make my decition.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

ah heckky na

Answer 2

Don't believe anything you read and only 1/2 of what you see. Of course, Global warming is real. The last Ice age has gone away, has it not? So, we must have global warming. Do people contribute to global warming? Probably some small amount, after all we ARE Warm and we breath in oxygen and breath out CO2, we must be part of the problem. What is Al Gore going to do about it? Kill a whole lot of people? Invariably that is what Socialists do when they take control of a country. Is that better than destroying their economy and causing millions to starve to death?

Answer 3

yes & no.
1) The Earth rotates closer to the sun then further away in a cycle. We naturally would be warmer when closer & cooler when further.
2) The center of the Earth is hotter than the surface & heat rises. We have more active volcano's we have more heat. They also mellow out for long periods!
3) Some areas get cooler & some warmer depending on the Earth's rotations. Unless my minds slipping, we rotated on the axis a few years back & that would definitely cause many of the immediate changes you've recently seen in the headlines. Floods or droughts where never seen before would be examples of this.

Basically there are many good solid reasons to believe man made sources are good causes. Bottom line is ... most any change recommended for eliminating heat producers that could harm the planet can also save a butt load of money so what's the harm in trying them if it's within your means to do so? There are many islands in direct danger of disappearing because of the rising sea levels. Is it worth it in your heart & mind 10 yrs from now to know you made one little change in your life that potentially saved millions of peoples homes or livelyhoods? If that answer is yes you have another reason to make a change. Yes global warming is real but maybe not because of how it's presented. Just do what you can. Balance.
Hope this helped.

Answer 4

Too many mixed messages out there and too many hidden agendas for anyone to say definitively one way or the other whether or not it is or is not cyclic. And not enough time has passed since we started keeping records. Didn't we have an ice age some time ago and didn't it warm up again and wasn't this well before the automobile. I believe the scientists have also indicated that the other planets are also warming. Alien automobiles? Or is it a bit more logical to think that perhaps the sun is causing most if not all of this warming trend? If there is a trend. And then there is the one about a negligible earth temperature increase in the last ten years. So keep scratching your head cause if there is an abundance of anything out there, it's misinformation.

Answer 5

It's getting warmer. There is a cycle until you break the regulation mechanisms (as if you could put two very very fat persons on the same seat of a ferris wheel at the amusement park, but instead of loading the people at the bottom you load them the top, the wheel makes half the usual cycle but it won't go up again). When factories started is like when cars started, how much pollution did they create? You have to see the effects when everyone had cars and factories where everywhere. The ice caps in the south are shrinking too.

Answer 6

Several of your answers have given you excellent information. One of them said to find out and make up your own mind.
The reality of the situation is
Years ago no one was cutting down the rain forests, the polar caps weren't melting, the polar bears weren't dying from hunger, we were having the confusing weather we have today. Example: It has rained for 4 straight days 24/7 where I live and yet only a few hundred miles from here they have a drought. The temperatures have increasingly gone up we have plethora of illnesses because of allergies and asthma.. We have an increased number in adult asthma. We have pollution that literally burns your eyes.
We have the top scientist in the world
that believe it's true....
Then we have those that poo poo! the thought.
Common sense will give you the answer, just look around you.


The Great Barrier Reef is in severe danger of being bleached to death by the UV Rays penetrating thru the hole in the ozone.
That could be total disaster for oceans
around the world as well as the ecological disaster for the sea mammals and fish in the oceans.
Federal Tourism Minister Fran Bailey says using "shade cloth" over parts of the Great Barrier Reef off Queensland could protect it from the harmful effects of global warming.

Answer 7

"I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party.

However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you "believe in." It is science, the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a nonevent, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won't believe me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.

I have read dozens of scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct. There is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril."

Answer 8

it's not a cycle global warming is real and very dangerous the ice caps of the north and south pole are melting and now it's hard to make people realize this in the future some cities will be underwater because of global warming and some parts of the world natural parts no longer exist you could check on

Answer 9

I do think is real, I mean look at all the climate changes and pollution levels, that's no lie.

Answer 10

Listen to the facts...but not the ones the polluters tell, or the ones who's economic system depends on energy at any cost.

Answer 11

the price of beer may go up ,because of potable water shortage
and food prices may rise because the third world slave countries got lots of problems due to Global Warming.
on e 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 boll weavel 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

when they killed all the mosquito's around the Danube for example all of the life in the woods disappeared ,they were a vital link in the food change.like the disappearing bees will drastically affect pollination ,some of that is part of our food production

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

for a sensible answer

Look for Trevor or Dana or bob ,they have far more patience than i have
