About what percent of people you talk often, for over 5 minutes, think Global Warming Threatens Earth? Thanks!

Question

The intent is to get an inpression of how further we must go.

Answer 1

0.5%%... its really sad

Answer 2

80%

Some people always seem to think it makes them appear more intelligent than everyone else if they  deny what are obvious realities to most people.

Answer 3

If they know what they are taking about, none, because GW doesn’t threaten the Earth, it threatens us and the lifestyle we enjoy, a number of species that live at the extreme like Penguins and Polar Bears and some natural systems like reefs that can only stand very small temp changes. Humans live all over the Earth from Alaska to the Sahara a temp difference of ~100c at its worst. I think we will live through a 2-3c temp increase. The Earth itself, would be just fine if the temp went up 25c or dropped 25c.

Answer 4

Global warming is based on a miscalculation, it's complete bull$hit.  The statistical method used would have demostrated a dramatic increase no matter what data was entered. we have not seen a dramatic increase as predicted, not only that but the temperature actually cooled this past year. not only that but the ice cap at the south pole is GROWING.

Gary is one of those "smart" arrogant democrats, too bad their "facts" are all based on miscalculations and pay offs to Al Carbon Credit Gore, who is now being sued by the founder of the weather channel, who is a climatologist.  i wish i was as brainwas... i mean as smart as gary!

Answer 5

none will admit, but i think about 2% just wiat 20 years and we will be complaining of cooling period . bigger things to worry about ,middle east south korea, paying taxes,wait whats for dinner?

Answer 6

I don't know; it's not a common subject of conversation.  But I'd guess between 50 and 70%.

Answer 7

About 80%.  The real world is very different than Yahoo answers.

Answer 8

Actually, where I live, Global Warming doesn't affect us.  It's still cold here, it's still snowing.

As a matter of fact, it's been the coldest year in over 45 years, the 4th snowiest too.  Need more?  4 out of 5 and 8 out of 10 have been colder than the 100 year average...

Global warming is a joke here in Minnesota.  Even the Star Tribune newpaper here polled about 1000 people, 73% here said it didn't exist.  The poll of course didn't make the front page, oh heavens no.

We speak of AGW or GW very little here in MN.  Actually we talk more about the weather, how it changes from minute to minute here.

Two seasons here in Minnesota, Winter and Mosquito.

--Edited-- to correct a spelling error, lest I be called ignorant or stupid by the GW or AGW folks.

Answer 9

About 100%, because I try to talk about serious topics with smart people only.
