Do you really think we will die from global warming?

Question

Or is it another money making scheme?(i.e the people that come and tell you what you can do to help it and all that)

Answer 1

Not directly, but issues like this can make our lives a lot less pleasant:

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/...

There is a 50 percent chance Lake Mead will run dry by 2021 and a 10 percent chance it will run out of usable water by 2014...

"We were stunned at the magnitude of the problem and how fast it was coming at us," said marine physicist Tim Barnett.

"Make no mistake, this water problem is not a scientific abstraction but rather one that will impact each and every one of us that live in the Southwest," he said.

Take a look at this and decide for yourself it's just a "money making scheme":

The consensus was quantified in a Science study by Prof. Naomi Oreskes (Dec. 2004) in which she surveyed 928 scientific journal articles that matched the search [global climate change] at the ISI Web of Science. Of these, according to Oreskes, 75% agreed with the consensus view (either implicitly or explicitly), 25% took no stand one way or the other, and none rejected the consensus.

Answer 2

no. but in near future say about 3-4th generation  will be worst affected.

Answer 3

It is all about the money!

It was MUCH warmer before the last Ice Age. We are only now beginning to get to what the "normal" temps were before that happened.

Answer 4

Everyone would suffer because everyone has took part in it someway so i guess yeah

Answer 5

money scheme by a bunch of liberals telling us what to think.

Answer 6

I believe in the Bible and it does speak of man distroying the earth in any way, much less another flood!  If it is an issue, and I'm not certain about that, it will not be our demise!

Answer 7

Definitely. Not ourselves, but our children will have to suffer from the effects of Global warming. We have destroyed the earth so much only in the last 100 years, thats only one generation people! I myself am a green, and I believe that people need to get over themselves and realize what we are doing to our planet.

Answer 8

Maybe not immediately but we have already done enough damage for the generations to come.

Answer 9

not us, but a lot of generations after us.

I think it will not be dirrectly from the global warming,

probably the armagedon (a star from outside, another NOAH fload, a GW.Bush stupidity)...will end this life but for sure not because of the Global warming

Answer 10

Only if it's caused by something extraordinary, like a nuclear war or a meteor strike.  Will we die due to the normal fluctuations of a naturally occurring trace gas?  Not bloody likely.

Answer 11

Our climate is in a cycle.  It's a natural occurance.  

Yes, I think that people are using scare tactics to make money.

Answer 12

Future generations yes. And a helluva lot of polar bears, and through no fault of their own.

Answer 13

it could be nether. most predictions put climate change at between 2-6 degrees C by the end of the century. this is not enough to cause death from heat stroke but it can cause other problems such as:

food and water shortages

desertification and the loss of fertile land

disrupting ocean currents that bring up nutrient rich water causing fish stocks to plummet.

more ozone pollution in the troposphere.

Answer 14

No, of course not.

Answer 15

No....not money making.

Answer 16

Nope it sure won't kill us or any polar bears. It's origin is not about the money, but the media is sure going to cash in on anything they can. So many people will profit but there is nothing new about that.
