Am i the only one that realizes that global warming doesn't exist?

Question

at least, not in the sense that it's gonna kill us all and it's all our fault!

Answer 1

My parents thinks that is p**p :/

Answer 2

I suppose you had an epiphany. Besides some of the other disinformationists here on YA, you are most definitely in the minority.

Answer 3

yes, you are the only one.  It is real.

Answer 4

Humans have the right to fail, it is a God given right. We are human so we can learn and some of us even admit when we make a mistake. Our best is living life to the fullest, having fun.  

Global warming is only part of the issues we have to understand to vote, know how to invest, live, play, and love. We are part of the problem. Fault is not required. I would not be building a home in any flood plan, like parts of Florida. Here is some things to study:  We have the technology to move past the carbon debate. We do not have time to go through the government red tape. With oil on the decline, we have to make massive changes, swiftly. But we have to take the time to get it right. We can not do this twice, or three times - like in the past; we have to put our money in the best return on investments and where we get multiple benefits. We have had most of this technology for 20 years but have not implemented it. We know what is cost effective; we know where we need better technology. Without governments mandating renewable resources that do not harm the environment, we are doomed. The fossil fuel depression with global warming will be the worst economic downturn in world history. But this is not doom and gloom; we have the ability to fix our mess and enough time. Solar Concentrating Electric Power Plants, wind, wave, small hydro-electric, geothermal, and nuclear energy are what we need. We must have a pollution surcharge where we pay the real price (health effects, global warming and cleanup) for oil, natural gas, coal, cigarettes, cooling towers, cars, trains and airplanes. Raising the price of fossil fuel today gives us more time to solve these problems and helps pay for the 20 Trillion Dollars worth of renewable energy over the next 10 years. Remember knowledge is power and this information is very powerful. Humans have 50 trillion dollars worth of stuff that runs on cheep oil, natural gas, or coal.

I attended the Focus the Nation at Sierra College on 1-31-08. The event was the 2% Solution, a 2% reduction over 40 years to solve global warming. Oil is a nonrenewable resource and we are running out-but not soon – anyone now want to pay $30 per gallon for gas. The problem is the oil will be gone in less than 30 years at present rates of consumption without projected increases and shortages (gone at least to run cars, heat homes, power electric plants or air travel). The 2% Solution is ok for the USA for a 10 year plan to cut 20%, but I would prefer a 5% Solution over the next 10 years for a 50% reduction. At the same time, we have to be building renewable energy so at the end of 10 years we can cut an additional 20%. With the peak of oil in the 1970’s, peak NG in the 1990’s, having mined cheep coal, the peak of ocean fishing in the 1980’s, and the peak of uranium in the 1990’s, humans must stop procrastinating and make real changes to keep earth sustainable including in the energy debate, finance and regulation. Over the next 90 years carbon dioxide is projected to skyrocket as human’s burn more fossil fuels, but we have to come up with what will take its place and cleanup our mess. One of the big problems we have is at some time Yellowstone will blow its top again, as the magma move closer to the surface, creating a nuk winter. After that we will not have to worry about the destruction of the ozone layer, global warming or pollution.

Many of mankind’s advancements cause earth surface to warm, destroy the ozone layer, kill off endanger species, heat cities, and in some way cause more dramatic destruction.  Blacktop and buildings (roads, roofs and parking lots-heat cities), deforestation (air pollution, soil erosion), duststorms (increase hurricanes and cyclones, cause lung diseases), fires (cause pollution, mud slides, and deforestation), refrigerants (like CFC's) and solvents (including benzene destroy the ozone layer raising skin cancer rates) and plastics; cars, airplanes, ships and most electricity production (causes pollution including raised CO2 levels and increased lung and other diseases); these human problems we must fix to keep life on earth sustainable! Humans have destroyed half of the wetlands, cut down nearly half of the rain forest, and advance on the earths grasslands while advancing desertification which increases duststorms.

The result is:  change is on the way, we just do not know what changes (where and when). Look beyond the hype, beyond the weather, beyond a quarterly report and beyond today. President Bush has made a choice of energy (ethanol) over food and feeding the starving people around the world; this is a choice China has rejected. The fact is Bush wants to buy food from out side the USA to send to starving people since our grain is not available. Now what USA Presidential candidate is giving you the facts so you can make an educated decision of which one to vote for?

But with that we must understand we have never seen what is now happening before. CO2 has never lead to temperature change, but temperature change has led to increases in CO2. The models have to be made as we go along with current evidence! But again adding a small amount of CO2 to the atmosphere enlarges the earths sun collection causing warming; increase water in the atmosphere and it forms clouds cooling earth but sometimes causing flooding. Even natural events are warming earth and causing destruction. The sun has an increased magnetic field causing increases in earthquakes (more destruction), volcanoes (wow, great destruction), and sun spots. Lighting produces ozone near the surface (raising air pollution levels). The USA Mayor's have taken a stand and I believe are on the right track, we can have control and can have economic growth. The sun is available to produce energy, bring light to buildings and makes most of human’s fresh water. Composting is the answer to desertification. New dams are the answer to fresh water storage, energy and cooling earth by evaporation, we need many small ones all over (California needs 100 by 2012 and we are far behind).

That is why I founded CoolingEarth.org, a geoengineering web sight where you can learn more about earth, the atmosphere, and how to sustain life on earth’s surface. Watch for changes in the sight coming soon.

Answer 5

You are right.  The evidence suggests that it may have risen a degree in a century and you have people suggesting that there is suddenly no more winter.  You have others suggesting that Bush caused it or made it worse.  Some are well schooled in the global warming propaganda but the vast majority have no clue what they are talking about.  As a geologist, I see nothing in the present that isn't consistent with the past.  The only indication of a crisis is in easily manipulated computer models.  I personally am more worried that it may cool for that would be far worse.  Perhaps our measly influence will help stave of the next cooling period for a little while.

Answer 6

NOOOOOOO - you have heaps of buddies: They also believe the earth is flat....

Answer 7

it's mentalities like yours that just continue to make the situation worse.

Answer 8

How can you be sure that it won't kill us all?  Actually, I too believe that it won't.  There are way too many other things that are more likely to do that.  And sure, it's not all our fault, but our decisions and actions can and do have a major impact on the planet.  You'd have to be inbred retarded not to admit that.

Answer 9

No, I believe that you are one of the majority who has not been brain-washed by the AGW cult.

Answer 10

you are wise

Answer 11

When I was a kid we called it summer...

Answer 12

i may be stupid or dumb in sayin this but i feel like its our destiny that 'global warming' is here...personally i to think it doesnt exist...no matter what it would have happened..i think its the worlds way of getting rid of us like it did the dinosaurs. things move on and this is our fate, 1 day it will become to hot for us to survive and we will all dienot in our lifetime but it will happen...its not through us that it has happened its just the way the world goes round :) well thats just my personal view.

Answer 13

There are about 30 to 35 active volcanoes on this earth.  

Before when they were all erupting, there may have been 150 of them.

Now, the magma or lava is just about all gone.  What is left is just at the surface with no push from beneath.  I believe that causes the global warming.  But, there is one thing that cools the upper crust, I think, but y'all probably wouldn't believe it because its all gone!  It kept the lava below and that was our warmth.  It was like a heater when it was cold and a coolant in the heat.

Answer 14

It's like smoking.  Comes on very slow and then one day it's to late.

Answer 15

any proof or evidence?

Answer 16

No, not at all.  There are millions of Americans that believe exactly as you do.

ExxonMobil has profits of nearly $1B/week riding on delaying our knowledge and response.  There is far, far more at stake here than there was with the links between nicotine and addition, smoking and cancer.  The oil industry has learned from that history and is not only using the same tactics, but has been using the same people to shape your understanding of global warming:

Global warming itself isn't going to kill us all, but our children may certainly have a degraded standard of living as our food production becomes challenged, water supplies dry up, and as oceans acidify.  

Although the "we're all going to die" scenario may not be the most likely for most of us having this discussion, here's a fairly conservative discussion of the implications:

Impacts of Global Warming

Answer 17

I will vote for you as the next leader of the free world.

Answer 18

global warming has been going on for several years. like, since the 60's. its just recently been brought to our attention because ignorant presidents like bush have screwed things up more.

i also think that unfortunately, global protection seems to be a fad with people. some years its popular some years we care more about wether celebrities are wearing a certain brand of boots or not.

but thats just my opinion. not to offend, but there are several scientific facts that prove its been happening for a long time now, and it is mainly due to us. we've really pushed the process faster.

Answer 19

its totally r fault cause we poluted the air with c02 not the catapillers. and yes it will kill us unless the idiots in the world can notice its happening untill it hits hard
