Do you believe global warming is occurring here and now??

Question

Im doing a survey fro school, please answer truthfully, thanks.

Answer 1

Hey at least we will get more drinking water. I have been mighty thirsty. Also many people will die, which is a plus, as the price of living would lower dramatically. And after all those people are dead there will be less polluting thus making it clean again. w00t pwned. peace.

Answer 2

of course what kind of questions is this?! lol get yourself together but i guess you were just wondering for your survey

Answer 3

Nope.  China is experiencing the coldest winter in 100 years.  The NOAA website pictures of the South Pole show the polar ice caps are increasing.  It's been a cold winter here in Minnesota...

But I'm sure the global warming fanatics will find some way to twist this information...

Think about this - the country Greenland - GREEN LAND...at one time, this was a country where grass grew freely and crops were grown...

It's just hot and cold cycles, and for humans to think we personally have an impact on this is ridiculous.

Answer 4

Without a doubt.

Answer 5

Sure it is.  

But you'll get a better answer about public opinion here:

This place is kinda strange, particularly at this time of day.  Try asking your question again 6 hours later, you'll get a VERY different response.

Answer 6

If you have to believe, if you depend on opinion, then it's not scientific fact.  Science just is, it doesn't require anyone to believe.  No one has to believe or have an opinion of what the speed of light is, as this is known.

Global warming has to be believed, has to be voted on by a consensus, or have an opinion because it is politics, not science.

No one knows if it will be warmer 5 years from now or not any better than a coin toss.

Answer 7

I don't think it is. As any scientist can show you and tell you fluctuations of temperature has been happening longer than humans have been on this planet. After going from extreme cold to warmth, it is obvious extreme heat is next.

Answer 8

How can you not believe it?

Everyone most likely belives it, just chooses not to accept it, or try and reverse the issue.

Answer 9

Most definately yes.

Answer 10

I believe there is enough evidence to make a strong case that the earth is warming. The causes are far more complex. I struggle to believe that modern science has a complete understanding of what drives the climate. What is the ideal climate, is another important question. What I think is clear is that the planet is constantly undergoing change, and all species are forced to adapt to those changes. Fact: It is either going to be getting colder or warmer.  I, for one, would rather attempt adapting to a warmer climate than a colder one.

Answer 11

You don`t say where here is ,but it has been and is happening in a lot of places.

Global Warming is true, there are Natural fazes but we are affecting that to a great extent ,with deforestation ,desertification and pollution., especially air pollution.

A few weeks ago one of NASA's top scientists concluded that the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free within five years, much faster than all previous predictions.

when the north pole is gone , you may have polar bears soon in America ,looking for a home ,

Calculations do not include the accumulative ,speeding up ,factor with time. the increase in water temperature will get faster all the time as well as the melting, when the ice is all gone the deeper cold Ocean currents will be drastically affected,which in turn will affect the warm currents,since all moving bodies of water are connected in series.

This will affect coastal climates ,world wide ,almost instantly. All aquatic flora and fauna will be affected,many dying off and others becoming invasive,

And recently In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before. Millions of animals died.

In India 3000 people died because of super storms .

.A few years ago in Europe 3500 people,died during a heat wave ,many of them in France .

Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming

. these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing .

The biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,

This affects the insect populations that follow ,and changes in that ,affect all that follows in the food chains ,

All life is interrelated of both flora and fauna, And since we are on the top of the food chain ,

we are always the last to know.

So Global warming has its toll there are incidents all over the world ,

However

confusion rules the day ,i am beginning to think that SCIENCE HAS BEEN INVADED WITH POLITICS AND HUMAN EMOTIONS

The truth is being distorted at high levels,

And lies have been weaved in.

Some of the real dangers are being hidden because there are no solutions , Public could panic.and Authorities would loose control .

Besides Corporations have other priorities and changes will cause loss of profits ,this also affects the truths being published

Others facts are exaggerated so that the phenomena can be used to milk the people.

This is further complicated with Arrogance that will not admit that mankind could be guilty, or that Gods could be out of control ,unloving or incompetent

But I do not think we can make a real difference anymore to change the tide.

On a Global scale,Humanity is not co operative enough .

The poor regions have other priorities such as daily survival.

There is a lot we can do about being more responsible with what we got ,

In the first world countries many do not care or are more interested in Global Control than Global Warming.

Answer 12

I believe it is occurring because just look at the changes on the Earth in the past. The glaciers are melting, the ocean is getting warmer, there are more hazardous hurricanes, and the weather patterns are shifting.  Look at hurricane Katrina for example. Katrina was a very hazardous storm and these storms are increasing in intensity because of warmer water. Where I live, the winter is getting warmer, but in Florida, the temperature got to freezing. I was told that the temperature increased .32 degrees F, which doesn't seem like much, but during the last ice age, the temperature change was only 6 or 8 degrees. What else can explain all of this? To get a good incite of this topic, I strongly suggest the movie, "Planet in Peril."
