Do you think the world climate is chanching?

Question

DO YOU THINK THE WORLD CLIMATE IS CHACHING?justify your answer.and thank you

Answer 1

Yes!Something is happening!

Answer 2

Yes, but although i am prepared to accept that humanity at large will quite happily rape and destroy the habitat to serve their selfish (and usually unqualified) purposes, there is a possibility that it is just the planet approaching another Ice-Age.

Answer 3

Yes. The Earth is a dynamic system, it is always changing it's just that most of the changes tend to take place over a long period of time. The climate for instance, has been vastly different than it is today eg 200 million years ago it was a lot warmer. We are currently in an ice-age (people's stereotypical view that an ice-age means the whole world is frozen is completely wrong), though the temperature is rising gradually. This is being exacerbated (NOT caused) by human activities, and will cause no harm to the planet in the long run. The human race on the other hand is in great danger because we've never had to survive out of an ice-age, so we don't know how to.

Answer 4

Yes unfortunately,

But this might just be a phase in earth's place

Because the ice age and then it got hotter then it got colder

Climate is changing 24/7

Answer 5

Well, where I live the winter is not as cold as it used to be & the summer is hotter.

Answer 6

Yes, I do. Last year where I lived, we didn't  have any snow until late February! I hope that I live through all this!

Answer 7

Yes! This is just a natural change though, At present we are in an ice age, yes an ice age. Defined as having polar ice caps, these will melt and will return again someday.The earths climate is always and will always change no matter how high your taxes become to combat this.

Answer 8

Yes, and it has been for at least 450,000 years (that's as far back as the ice core data go).  It gets warmer, then it gets cooler, then it gets warmer again.  It's currently getting warmer, and has been for about 10,000 years.

Answer 9

Yes, of course it is. Global climate is a dynamic process, and as such, is always in a state of change. The one thing it  never is, is static.

Answer 10

The World Meteorological Organization reports global land surface temperatures in January and April 2007 were the warmest since such data began to be recorded in 1880; 1.89°C warmer than average for January and 1.37°C warmer than average for April.

In 2007 many European countries had their warmest January on record. January temperatures in The Netherlands were the highest since measurements were first taken in 1706, averaging about 2.8°C above 1961-1990 average whilst in Germany the temperatures were 4.6°C above the 1961-1990 average.

England and Wales last year had their wettest May and June since records began in 1766. At exactly the same time Britain suffered flooding, a July heat-wave (with record temperatures) claimed hundreds of lives in Southern Europe, with up to 500 dying in Hungary alone.

Germany had its driest April since 1901 followed by its wettest May since 1901. Temperature records for summer heat were broken in south-eastern Europe in June and July and in western and central Russia in May. In many European countries, April was the warmest ever recorded. In India, a heat wave during mid-May produced temperatures as high as 45-50°C.

The Asian cyclone season has now been very intense two years running and there were droughts in Australia and China and southern USA, but bad flooding in regions of South & North America, across West, Central and East Africa and also Indonesia, China, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.  Heavy rains also hit southern China in June, with nearly 14 million people affected by floods and landslides. Oman and Iran had their first documented cyclone since 1945. There was also No El Nino or La Nino over the summer (both often associated with extreme weather events); a La Nina formed in Sept. which will influence weather into next year if it continues.

Part of the extremes weather late last year and inti this year is  due to the La Nina that arrived off the coast of Peru in late summer `07. Last year’s heavy flooding in West Africa and this years above-normal snowfall in China and in the northwest United States and northern Great Lakes region and the record number of cyclones in the south-western Indian Ocean are all recognised signatures of La Nina's influence, pushing air streams and atmospheric bodies of moisture around. This year’s La Niña is likely to turn out to be the strongest since 1988-89, about 1.5C (2.7F) cooler than normal.

Expected La Niña impacts for April-June `08 include a continuation of above-average precipitation over Indonesia and below-average precipitation over the central equatorial Pacific whilst for the United States there’s an increased probability of below-average precipitation over parts of the Southwest extending from Texas to Nevada. It’s likely La Nina will fade in the second half of this year.

Answer 11

yes it certainly is changing, i remember when i was a kid 'some 40 odd years ago' playing out in snow waist deep, snow that was there for 2-3 weeks at a time, i also remember my village being snowed in during the mid 70's, the snow was totally covering cars, and this went on for over a week, now if we get a few centre metres of snow the country comes to a stand still.

Answer 12

No, I do not think the world climate is chanching, chaching, or chancing.

Answer 13

the seasons that we knew as summer and Autumn are with out a doubt merging  as are winter and spring .  there is a lot of talk about ice age and changes that occur every 10 .0000 years or so . but in real essence  the world population and its impact made no relevance to its occurrence . now we are over populated and churning more toxins into the atmosphere  than any volcano can . and  with out a doubt we are now having a impact on climate and the earths natural global changes . A lot is said for planting forest but remember that the earth was covered in Forest prior to the last ice age.  maybe its time to change and after this ice age maybe we will not be the dominant species . ???????

Answer 14

Yes, and that's not an opinion, that's a fact. All you have to do is look at any historical climate record to prove it.

Answer 15

the world climate is chancing it's b***** if it thinks it can go on like that.

has it no responsibility?

Answer 16

yess! and im scaredd! haha just like they said... the seasons are getting mixed uppp!
