How is global warming affecting our planet?

Question

and what can we do to prevent global warming?

I just want to see the options we have here. Thanks

Answer 1

It causes people to freak out and demand that the gvmt do something just for the sake of doing something.

Answer 2

Global warming has been going on for a long time. Global cooling aslo occurs. It is very egotistical for mankind to think he can stop it. The earth has been warming since the last ice age. It will hit peak temps and then cool again. Now pollution......the air is getting nasty and noone can argue against that.

Answer 3

Today here is what we know: Blacktop (roads and parking lots) and buildings heat cities; Air pollution causes lung (and other) diseases, deforestation causing more destruction (duststorms, hurricanes/cyclones all increasing deforestation) and destroys the ozone layer while heating earth surface; fires cause mud slides, deforestation and pollution-more heating surface temperatures; CFC's destroy the ozone layer raising skin cancer rates and killing off endanger species and increased surface temperatures; lighting produces ozone near the surface and raises air pollution levels-more heating; the suns increased magnetic field are causing increases in earthquakes (more destruction), volcanoes (wow, great distruction), sun spots and leading to more heating. Cars, airplanes, ships and most electricity production causes pollution, warmer temperatures and destruction. But most of this is in our control outside of the sun (Volcanoes, sun spots and earthquakes are part of the sun magnetic strength): We need to fix our part! That is why I founded CoolingEarth.org an geoengineering web sight.The USA Mayor's are on the right track, we can have control and economic growth. The fed gov is way out of step-even Congress. We also need a pollution surcharge to balance the field and advance new technologies. Where we are with global warming has never happened before. CO2 has never lead to temperature change, but temperature change has led to increases in CO2. The models are having to be made with little evidence!

Answer 4

The IPCC presents several different emissions scenarios. One such scenario tells the story of a world that becomes increasingly globalized (A1T). This leads to a slow down in population growth and large world-wide rapid economic growth. It also leads to increased technology sharing and discovery. The net warming induced in this scenario is pretty small when compared to the business as usual scenario. Sorry to say that you can't play much part in that, except as a voter.

Answer 5

global warming effects are planet beacause in the north pole there is a lot of frozen ice. global warming will melt it and there will be another ice age that will flood the whole world.

Answer 6

Global warming keeps us from freezing.
All we can do is wait.

Answer 7

well gee einstein look at the freakin word:global warming. wow to me that sounds like the earth is getting hotter
