Global Warming Trueth or Fiction?

Question

Is global warming a conspiricy for the government to get more money out of us.

Answer 1

true

Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text only covers some aspects of global warming ,mainly agriculture i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification

water and air polution such as caused by

industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories,

and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions

there are natural cycles in the planets life

but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

climate change is caused in great parts by desertification ,and most desertification is caused by man

the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions

expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were very few desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up ,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,

and there are less and less farmers to do it..

Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities.

Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.

This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.

The farmers have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.

Over the last half century,

Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million

In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .

RISING SEAS

The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.

this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter

Global warming could be slowed down to some extent,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where,instead of just some third world countries Source(s) here are a 100 ways to help

Answer 2

Yes keep beliving that right up to the point you  get flooded out by the melting icecaps

Answer 3

yes, it is the truth!! If we will not stop the global warming, many island will not exist anymore because the sea level will be rise.

because the polar caps will melt.

And because important hot water stream for example the gulf stream will be colt and so in the future will be more

natural catastrophes.

So we have to stop the warming! is the most important that good future, for our children can exist!

I´m from Europe so sorry for my bad englisch.

here in Europe the global warming is one of the most important political topics! I hope in the us to, because only so we can save the world!!!

Answer 4

I would say no, but I believe that the government sometimes is taking advance of us.

Answer 5

Global warming is quite real and quite a big problem. If we continue has we have to date without doing as much as we can to stop it we will doom our children for tens of generations to a sort of global warming h**l.

Answer 6

We'll never know until we get confirmed accurate scientific data provided by scientists who are not being paid by the environmentalists to say it is happening or big business to say it's not happening.

Answer 7

I would say no. You should watch the film by Al Gore, The inconvienent truth.  Its pretty good and has a lot of scientific evidence in it.

Answer 8

Personally I do not want to take the chance and ignore our share in causing climate change.

It is a hard price to pay if we are wrong and do not do anything.

So in my view squabbling over the existence of a potentially lethal problem this magnitude is foolishly dangerous. Just the mere fact that it is an issue, that the only planet we inhabit might be turning into a hostile environment for us, so fast that we cannot adapt to it, should prompt us to do something about it.

Life will go on, with or without Homo Sapiens.

Answer 9

Totally made up...it will never happen. th only reason last year was warmer than the rest is because the hurricanes took a break...you'll see it'll always be the same.

Answer 10

its just another scheme that people are buying into even if it is true its way to late to do anything no and we should start preparing for it not trying to prevent it

Answer 11

Its all bullzhit.

Answer 12

in a simple answer both, depends on what your talking about you can find "prof" for both sides do we need to reduce wast YES is the world going to end tomorrow if we don't NO.

Answer 13

Yes its true, cause not 100% known.

Answer 14

Truth.

Even Shell agree it's happening:

Answer 15

The idea that any government on Earth is capable of producing any such conspiracy is laughable. Climate change is like evolution, accepted scientific fact. No unbiased and objective scientist would argue otherwise. Most people who disagree do so for religious or other non-scientific reasons which is just silly.

Answer 16

Truth.

"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 and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

Global warming is real and mostly caused by us.  Three reasons, with solid support, most important first.

There's an overwhelming amount of peer reviewed scientific data that says that.  Short and long summaries.

http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdf

Science is quite good about exposing bad science or hoaxes:

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/ATG/polywater...

There's a large number of people who agree that it is, who are not liberals, environmentalists, stupid, or conceivably part of a "conspiracy".  Like Truly.  Here are three more examples of many:

"Global warming is real, now, and it must be addressed."

Lee Scott, CEO, Wal-Mart

"Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming."

Senator John McCain, Republican, Arizona

“DuPont believes that action is warranted, not further debate."

Charles O. Holliday, Jr., CEO, DuPont

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

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/a...

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

"climate science from climate scientists"

Answer 17

Because our polititians tell so many lies, why can't we have proper discussions on TV.  Serious programmes like Panorama.  There are as many scientists who do not support the theory of global warming as there are who do.

Answer 18

No, it's a conspiracy by losers who wish they were scientists to get more money out of the government.

Answer 19

if you look at the temperature charts for the past centuries, you can see the there is a natural  warmer, cooler, warmer cooler trend.. but then in the 1800s during the Industrial Revolution there was a spike that made it where the warmer cooler trend continuted.. but at a much higher median..and in the last century the earth has been on the warming trend... but its spiked soo high its higher than the spike during the 1800s... so yeah.. i'd say there is truth in Global Warming... i mean, we might go back to a cooling trend, but it will still never be as cool as it should be and in the next 2 or 3 centuries, the increasing spikes will cause even worse damage to the environment, such as melting the polar ice caps and causing instability in the oceans of the world.

it may be getting too late to really stop it.. but slowing it down would definately help!

Answer 20

I say it is fiction. Temperatures have always changed, getting warmer or cooler, and ice bergs melting isn't something new. I believe it is just a way to get more money. If global warming were true, the way most politicians say it happens, then why did most of us on the East coast get colder a few weeks ago than we normally get? If all the things they suggest causes it to be warmer then why didn't it stay warmer here? Factories didn't shut down, people didn't stop operating their vehicles, so all the things they try to suggest that causes global warming was still operating during the time it was cold here.
