Glabal Warming????

Question

What do you think about GLABAL WARMING? is it really happening?

Answer 1

The earth is warming, sea level has risen, northern hemisphere snow cover has decreased.  Proved.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and in this country the Bush Administion, have stated it is very likely (that is, more than 90% certain) that the warming is caused by man.  Links to the studies and summaries are readily available to readers of this section.  We are trying to show you how in depth the study has been and where you can read for yourself.

Any disagreement on YA comes from uneducated people.  I'm not being mean or rude, that's the fact.  There are people who are educated on the subject and those that are not.  Among those who are educated, there is no debate.  There is a less than 10% possibility that the warming is not man made based on scientists testing the various alternative possibilities.  Those who say it is a fraud are wrong.  Flat out wrong.

Answer 2

Agriculutural damage also. See AgriBiz.  Millions of pigs,cattle herded together in unsanitary conditions in pens ready for slaughter. If people could be put on trial by them there would be trials for Mass Murder and unacceptable conditions. Amount of animals and their wastes plus the water they use detrimental.

Answer 3

The Ethanol Scam: Politicians and Big Agriculture would have you believe that encouraging the use of grain-based ethanol in gasoline is the key to energy independence. But not only do all the ethanol-related tax breaks, subsidies and mandates harm consumers in many ways - driving up the cost of food and other goods, including gasoline itself - but the process of making and transporting it uses more energy than the end product yields!

Answer 4

It's spelled global warming

and i think it is happening

Answer 5

The models we have are saying it is climate change. most places get hotter, less rain, more flooding, bigger hurricanes, more cyclones, higher sea levels, less fish....global warming? check out CoolingEarth.org to see more of what humans are doing to our home

Answer 6

Real, mostly caused by us.

This is science and what counts is the data, not people's intuition.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)

Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_...

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu...

EVERY major scientific organization has issued an official statement that this is real, and mostly caused by us.  The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc.

Answer 7

global warming isn't real!!!!

Here are some facts:

1) If you took every car off every road in the US the temperature would change less than a TENTH OF A DEGREE!

2) People cause 3.5% of temperature change with .4% coming from cars.

3) The polar bear population has gone from 5000 to 25000 in 10 years and for some reason, they are still being put on the threatened list! they can swim!

4) 5 billion dollars a year is wated by the US government to research "climate change"

5) no one has proved why the hole in the ozone layer appeared, so the theory that the extreme cold caused it is just as credible as the theory thet cfcs or whatever caused it.

6) Al Gore shows his audience a slide of CO2 concentrations, and a slide of historical temperatures. But for very good reason he does not combine them in one overlaid slide: Historically, atmospheric CO2, as often as not, increases after warming. This is typical in the campaign of claiming “consensus” to avoid debate (consensus about what being left unspoken or distorted).

7) American grocery stores are starting to introduce food rationing.  Wal Mart is restricting the amount of rice customers can buy.  In Mexico and Yemen, in Egypt and Indonesia, the poor are taking to the streets to protest massive rise in food prices as well as shortages.  A short distance from our shores, the troubled nation of Haiti is in crisis again; Haitians, dependent on U.S. grain imports, have seen those dry up and have been reduced to eating cakes of dirt.

8)  one tank of ethanol wastes enough food to feed a starving person for a year!! one tank!

9)  ehtnaol produces more waste than regular gas

10) the models the ipcc uses are fake. even when fed random "red noise" they still made hocky stick curved graphs!!!  

less than 20 years ago they were freaking out about the next ice age!!!!

what more wil it take to convince you? why believe what politicians and liberal "scientists" say when you can just look at the science and prove it wrong!?

and just because I am a republican and dont believe in global warming does not mean i am pro litter/ pollution. it means i am pro common sense!

Answer 8

Yes onless your trying to stop it

if you are not trying to stop it then yes its even worse

Answer 9

Yes, I think it is really happening. And even if it wasn't, being "Green" still saves people money and makes the earth look better. I don't see why we shouldn't help in making eco-friendly choices.

Answer 10

Yes and no. Sadly I'm turning into a cricit, but I'm not going to criticize, since I'm nice. But even if it isn't real, I want clean air.

Answer 11

It's completely fake. This whole section is a joke. People here really make me laugh.

Answer 12

Here's a link to ALL the global warming myths....
