Question

Does no one want to speak out and share their own ways for solving global warming?

Answer 1

i would if there were any significant action mankind can take to change climate fluctuations, but there isn't.  there was a greater increase in the temperature of the world in the 1800's to the early 1900's than there has been between the early 1900's and the 2000's.  This contradicts the concept that increased CO2 causes increased temperatures.  The global production of CO2 skyrocketed in the 1920's compared to any previous century, but the temp has not increased, actually it decreased for the better part of the 1900's and currently is not up to previous high levels (the range for the change is less than 2 degrees C...miniscule! and hardly noticable.

the data that appears to show 'global warming' is not the most accurate data available.  It is skewed in a few ways.  

#1 it is gathered using land based thermometers.  (warming would occur in the atmosphere 1st and satellite measurements of atmospheric temperatures show no statistically significant changes since the satellites have been in orbit (the 1980s)  --the earth's land surface is only about 25% of the entire surface area of the earth);  

#2 the land based thermometers used are almost entirely located at airports. (when the thermometers were placed, the airports were generally located some distance from the city centers, as time has passed the cities have grown outward and often around the airports. cities retain heat due to all the dense surfaces, large amounts of surface areas exposed to the sun, and limited air direction movement (as compared to rural areas). Or simply put the way we use land around the thermometers had changed in a way that increases the local temperature and thus does not provide an accurate climatological temperature.);

#3 the data is often cropped at the beginning and end in order to show people the 'hockey stick' progression, but if they showed all the data, you would be able to see a wide fluctuation before the start of the 'stick' and a drop where they would have you believe the 'stick' is continuing to grow upward.)

#4 the air today is cleaner than it was in 1970, despite the fear and scare tactics used by the 'eco-friendly' crowd. (airborne lead has decreased by 93%, CO by 50%, Ground level ozone by 25%, sulfer oxides by 70%)

#5 computer models (GCMs) are often used to support predictions of Global Warming, BUT these models, when given the actual data from the past 25 years, cannot accurately predict the climate for the next year (ie: if we entered the data for 1970-1995 the model would provide wildly inaccurate data for 1996. study done by International Journal of Climatology Dec 2007 issue) Both the current and past president of the American Association of State Climatologists have made statements denigrating the accuracy and usefulness of current GCMs)

From January 2004 through February 2007 there were 528 papers published on climate change.  There were 7% that explicitly endorsed humanity as the cause of global warming, there were 6% that explicitly denied humanity as a cause, 48% remained entirely neutral in their findings, the remainder did not address humanity at all in their conclusions/summary, and out of the original 528 papers only 1 made any reference to 'catastrophic' climate change being possible.

The UN Global Warming/Climate Change 2007 IPCC statement has been panned by professionals (ie: Dr. Pielke Director of Environmental Studies at University of Colorado, Dr. Gray Professor of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University, Dr Lindzen Professor of Meteorology at MIT - all of these schools require individual to be doing original research into their areas of professorship in order to remain on staff) as being untrue, politically motivated, containing errors, using data selectively, and not based on observational evidence.

After all of the above, i do believe that we need to take care of our planet, through using efficient means of energy production (nuclear currently leads the way), by recycling (individuals recycling really does not make much of a difference, but business' recycling can make a HUGE difference...the waste created in 1 small to medium business in a single day is more than a family of 5 will create in a month), planting trees/flowers/etc to beautify the scenery as well as for the environmental benefits, consuming home-grown produce (saves transportation costs x3 -from farm to distrib, from distrib to store, from store to home) and many other 'common' sense and not overly invasive lifestyle changes.

Answer 2

prepare for a mini ice age

Answer 3

OK First of all whoever said that The Earth is just naturally heating itself up explain this: Why are animals on Earth suddenly dying out fast?

Now For My Answer

first i am very interested in this topic so: to Stop Global Warming We Have to Go Green!! Use Fuel-Efficent Cars, Try to find an alternative resource like hydrogen. Stop Using up Fossil Fuels for energy and turn to hydroelectricity.

i recycle.

Answer 6

I read the book by Al Gore about global warming.  In it, you see pictures of the north pole as it was in the 70's, 90's and now. What it is for the most part, is frightening. There is very little ice left for polar bears and other animals that live in the arctic to live on. There is a rise in our oceans about 2-3 inches every year if I remember correctly, while the ice melts.  The thing is, when you realize that all that ice that is melting,and we have a bit way more to go, it has to go somewhere, and of couse that means toward us. While that's happening, ocean temperatures are also rising. That means trouble for sea life and us who depend on it. A break in the ecological balance of nature.  And of course so are our temperatures each season. Hence the warmer winters. And the pollution and harmful gases that we produce here on earth have made the ozone layer, which protects us from the harmful UV rays of the sun. So we get sunburned easier without that layeer of protection. Some of you sun-loving bathing people may scoff and say, "Great, I'd love to have some palm trees around".  But the truth is, the time will come where you'll be wishing for colder winters as they used to be, and admit that 73 degrees may be a bit too much for February weather in the northeast. Get ready because we'll soon be hitting 80 in the same month.  

    I'm not trying to scare you, but take global warming seriously folks, because if we don't deal with it now, there won't be a future for your kids.

Answer 7

ah. such a lack of care for the environment.

face it. we will all be dea before we see the effects.

just ban all nucleur stuffs!

but no...that's too simple.

ever thought that most figures of authority just want us to whither and die at some point in the not too distant future?

hope that helps.

even though just by being on the computer we really aren't helping. LOL at the wit

Answer 8

ok you must have some intelligence think about this you put ice in a cup it melts dose it over flow? no so the world is not going to flood. people are melodramatic

Answer 9

I know a way! We can switch to nuclear power! And with the waste that the nuclear plant leaves, we can freeze it and then throw it into space! And then our electricity bills would be A LOT lower too! ^_^

Answer 10

there is NO SUCH THING as global warming!! its the earth heating itself up naturally!!

Answer 11

i just don't understand.

there are sooooo many people around here that are waaaayyyyyyy smarter than all those climatologists that have PhDs in climate science, and all claim that there's a problem.

surely you'd think that since we're so smart and all, there'd be dozens of really easy solutions offered.

i mean something other than "it's not happening, and if it is it's natural, and if it's not, we can't possibly fix it, and if we can, it'll be way too expensive to fix, and besides, we really need to wait until all those 3rd world countries that are exempt have fixed their part of the problem (which is most of it).

Answer 12

um...buy a really big refrigerator?! :D

Answer 13

People do, it is just that some people will think you are crazy. I think that global warming can destroy important things in daily life. I also think that if we do not do something about it, bad things could happen. Pray to God that he will help you.
