Does America control Global warming?

Question

If the whole of America embraced the fact the Global Warming has begun and stopped to change it, would we have some time to breathe and think of our next move to change it?? Do Americans even try???

Answer 1

America isn't the problem.  China and India are two of the worst global warmers and will continue to do so for a long time.

In America, pollution control is a multi billion dollar business.

Answer 2

No, but at the rate we are going we probably will soon. People in America won't STOP polluting!

Answer 3

The reason why every person I've discussed global warming with(U.S. citizens of course) don't do anything to change is because we firmly believe we aren't  the cause.  It sadens me say that our government, whether for political reasons or international appeasement, has jumped on the global warming band wagon though.

There are way more problems to be dealt with than the story that fear monger Al Gore came up with.

Answer 4

americans dont have the capacity to look any further than whats happening to them right now.. and as it stands they are a player in the game called " passing the buck" .

Answer 5

No.  and mankind doesn't either.  We are only responsible for a small portion of it.  growing, harvesting, and storing crops like corn trap more CO2 than is emitted.  The water vapor transpired in the growing of the crop is a much more potent greenhouse gas and doesn't hold a candle to the evaporation of water from the earth's ocean surfaces.  Keep believing in the hoax.

Answer 6

No, we don't control a natural cycle of the planet we live on. I wonder if you all believe this lie, if I can convince you all to send me a dollar. It sure would help me get out of debt and live a better life, where I could make a difference in this world. Instead I have to work and pay bills (admittedly I created, since I had a bad case of immediatitis. I'm over that awful disease, but now I have to pay for it.)

Answer 7

It snowed in ALABAMA last week.

Answer 8

America had pollution controls in effect long before most of the world did. All this c**p you hear about the U S is hogwash. Cars made in many countries around the world cannot even be imported here because of our emission controls. We were putting Precipitators and Scrubbers on power plants long before most countries.

When you hear statements like "The U S is the biggest polluter", remember there are very few countries as large as the U S, and none that produces more than the US.

I am not saying we should do less, I am just saying I have lived and traveled all over the world, and make sure you get the facts.

Answer 9

No, but it is the last first world country playing silly buggers with our future. Check out Rofe's answer... he seems to think that his corn is a carbon sink, even though when he eats it, he releases the carbon back into the atmosphere and the fact that he uses oil to produce it in the first place. .. seems to have no bearing on his thinking... that, my friend, is the kind of ignorance that has to be addressed. At least Californians are doing something!

Answer 10

The sun controls global warming.

Answer 11

well man runs the planet like the do there governments .. on credit.. we all do things today we will have to pay for later. man also knows most will not  be here to see what happens. from what they did . so they don't care . yes mid state Alabama got snow.. we got 6".It is not a common thing . it  was 80 degrees  6 days earlier.

Answer 12

There is a reason it is called 'Global Warming' we all contribute and we will all suffer the results. We (all of us) add 8-9bn tons of Co2 each year. Some claim it is solar variability, although solar output dropped in the late 90s. Some claim it's volcano's but they produce ~145-255 million tons which is less Co2 than Thailand produces in a year.

And saying China is worse than America is silly when we produce 25% of the Co2 and they have only just (after many years) moved slightly past us.

Answer 13

"The US is the first in the list of countries contributing to global warming."

I think that might be a little UN propaganda. Their are so many laws here against the green house gases. But to think Man is powerful enough to cause a global change of that magnitude is a little nuts if you really have a grasp of how powerful and large this world is.

Answer 14

The US is the first in the list of countries contributing to global warming.

Answer 15

Before everyone blames AMERICA for the Global Warming B.S., take a look in your back yard first.

Answer 16

Well, I don't believe America controls it. Because humanity as a whole controls it.

Answer 17

nope its busy making weapons for pakistan...

Answer 18

Russia wants to drill through the arctic circle to get oil, if that happens we're all in trouble!
