Do You HONESTLY Think All The Hype About Going......?

Question

green is REALLY going to help with global warming at this point in time?

Personally, I think so much damage to our Earth has been done that nothing man can do at this point is really going to make that much of a difference.

It's just like everything else with the human race, we always try to fix something AFTER the damage has been done.

We almost never take heed about something BEFORE the damage gets to the point of no return.

I am sure there were warnings about this centuries ago, but because it took so long for the evidence to show we never bothered about listening.

I am not saying we should just continue to carelessly pollute, but with "going green" springing up all over the place, I just think it is a little too late to reverse the effects.

These are my thoughts.....what are yours?

Answer 1

It may be too late, it may not.  It's somewhat irrelevant.  There are many, many other reasons to 'go green' besides global warming.

A few: Better health through less air and water pollution.  Better economy from local and domestic business rather than foreign oil.  Better health through wiser food choices.  Better equity by resolving environmental justice issues.

Answer 2

i just want my GAS lowrider before they have this green thing goes  into full effect.ill get a hybrid after that lol

Answer 3

Why are you so sure about damage done by global warming?  There isn't a shred of good evidence that global warming has even started!  The ice caps are not melting, the sea levels are not rising and there is no big excess of man-made carbon in the atmosphere.  

Where on earth has global warming been proven?  The answer is nowhere.  It's all a bunch of weak speculation started by Al Gore, and perpetrated by other political liars.  The whole thing is based on junk-science, and tens of thousands of qualified scientists have spoken out against the scam.  In the UN's IPPC itself, scientists have quit in disgust over the lies and errors that the IPPC is deliberately presenting as fact.  Those who remain are either fearful of losing a paycheck or are responsible for spreading false information.

Where taxes have risen to combat global warming, it's a matter of crooked politicians taking advantage of the masses to fill their empty coffers and/or spread their leftist agendas.

Using a scam called  global warming enables them to do so without so much as a peep from the people.  It's time to shake them up a little.

Answer 4

I don't buy into Anthropogenic Global Warming (Or humans helping the Natural Cycle of the planet to speed up or change in any significant way.) So we wouldn't do anything for the overall climate of the planet we live on if we 'Go Green'. However, if the products are proven to promote a cleaner environment, create less waste, and save a few trees from being cut down then I'm all for using those products and looking at alternative fuel source vehicles when I buy a new car in about five or six years.

Answer 5

I am not sure we can reverse anything, though nature has shown some impressing signs of recovering...

However, start "going green" now will probably not damage the nature any more. Of course, it all depends on the methods and the degree we're changing, like for example: just using bio-fuel will raise other problems (already did) like a famine in the "third world".

Answer 6

I don't think It's so much trying to reverse it, but to slow it down.  Obliviously "going green" won't hurt.  If people think they're making a change that's great, I'm all for it, and I have taken some measures myself.  I personally think global warming for the most part occurs naturally and humans have just contributed/accelerated it a bit, but it's unavoidable regardless of human interaction.

Answer 7

For decades, environmentalism has been the Left's best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. It's for Mother Earth! It's for the children! It's for the whales!

But until now, the doomsday-scenario environmental scares they've trumped up haven't been large enough to give the sinister prize they want most of all: total control of American politics, economic activity, and even individual behavior.

With global warming, however, greenhouse gasbags can argue that auto emissions in Ohio threaten people in Paris, and that only global government can tackle such problems.

National sovereignty? Democracy?

Forget it: global warming has now brought the Left closer to global government, statism, and the eradication of individual rights than it has ever been before.

Answer 8

Greenhouse emissions have been happening since the dawn of life on this planet...the biggest contribute to co2 is the ocean..mans contribution is so insignificant that anything we do would be a grain a sand in vast desert.

As for reversing global warming...it's impossible. The hype has gotten so outta control that children believe that they are going to die soon.

This is nothing more than another attempt to create new laws to regulate our lives and create new revenue from new taxes and fees.

Answer 9

once my friend was involved in very tragic accident, a car hit his car from side, his hand and ribs were broken, face structure was damaged. He sustained damage of about $ 70,000 all in personal injury.

but then doctors treated him for first few days in ICU, then after that they moved him to regular ward and took care of him for3 weeks, then he came home and his parents took care of him.

He is fine as an OX now, just that  his hand is little twisted but then he is fine as he was before accident

The point is

same thing is with earth, It has power to get itself to be like it was, just needs little care and precaution!

there is such thing as permanent damage, if that was the case we would been dead!

Answer 10

I have been doing much work in this area and I will give you my view of the whole topic.  First of all, by looking at all the ice core samples taken in Greenland and in the Antarctic, I can logically conclude that global warming, and global cooling such as ice ages, are a naturally occuring phenomena.  My problem is in comparing that data with present atmospheric conditions.  What I'm seeing is a rise in CO2, methane, and carbonic acid that is higher than it has ever been.  If anything can push us into another ice age, and we will have one again - one day - it is our indiscriminate dumping of CO2 in our atmosphere by burning carbon fuels.  Perhaps if we can stabilize our atmosphere, then we can delay our next ice age, which was likely caused by warming melting ice and diluting ocean currents.  If we do nothing, I see nothing to prevent a global catastrophe.  But should we improbably succeed in enacting a policy of 100% renewable fuel, then perhaps we could even solve the problem of our ocean currents changing.  That's my view.

Answer 11

I totally agree. 'Going Green' isn't really going to make that much difference. But then again, I don't believe in global warming, and this 'going green' is all about that. There is evidence that helps prove that global warming isn't happening, and that CO2 isn't really doing anything to the earth. Some scientists think that the warming of the earth is just a natural cycle, just like the ice-age.

But even if I did believe in global warming, the damage has already been done, and there's not much you can really do.
