Question

Can global warming be stopped at this point or is it too late?

Answer 1

If global warming cannot be stopped, we are all in big problems!!!

It does not matter whether humans caused it or not, lets solve the problem and then we can try and blame mother nature.

Its a bit like a a house being on fire and we all stand around arguing what/who caused it instead of putting the fire out.

Humans are innovative (I hope), so if we get going we can solve the problem.

Answer 2

Global warming is a part of a massive cycle that the Earths climate has been experiencing since the formation of the atmosphere. It has been proven that it has happened many many times before and will continue to do it even after we have gone. It has also been shown that in relation to the past cycles of climate change, we have experienced a relatively long stable period of the climate. However, the contribution of greenhouses gas from human activities has most likely caused global warming to happen more quickly than it perhaps would have done naturally. It is unlikely that whatever we currently do to try and slow down global warming would have any real effect-- we are about 30/40 years too late really.

Answer 3

it probably can be stopped...yet again it might be too late...

Answer 4

It'll stop on its own.

Answer 5

It is natural so it will stop on its own.

Answer 6

the world will get along just fine with us or without us.  eventually we won't be here any longer and the earth will continue it's cycles of life.  just think of all the global warming that occurred during the dinosaur periods.  everything is fine, don't let Al Gore scare you so much.

Answer 7

it could be stopped  but it would be stopped by not using cars for 7 years every body would not use anything that would harm our atmosphere

Answer 8

Some percentage of today's CO2 output remains in the atmosphere and maintains an influence on climate for 1000+ years after it enters the atmosphere.

So no, you could not completely stop the warming that's already started, but you could dramatically slow the future warming that is now coming by cutting off future contributions to that warming.  That's why scientists are telling us that it will be much cheaper to deal with this problem now, rather than wait until the problem gets much larger and has a lot more momentum.

Answer 9

you ask if its too late. if it is does that mean we just give up. you live here i live here and my 11 year old daughter lives here. im not giving up and anyone who think it will fix itself needs to stop smoking so much weed. if we give up because someone says its to late then we have no future. dont go to school or get a job just find a comfortable rock to climb under

Answer 10

Global Warming only exist in the mind of Gore. His movie was full of lies.

Answer 11

it's a geological process. it would happen anyway. we just speed it up.
