Global warming! ahh?

Question

What do you think of when someone says 'global warming'? Do you think of the Kyoto Protocol, the icebergs melting.. ?

Answer 1

When I think of how ineffective Kyoto was and how China and the United States did not commit to reductions, I think of rising food prices now and eventually food shortages and refugees:

The Potential Effects of Global Climate Change on the United States

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/effects...

"The effects of a warmer climate alone would generally reduce wheat and corn yields. Yield changes range from + 15 to -90%."

"Dryland farmers in the Great Plains are particularly vulnerable to climate variability. The Great Plains States of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas were the hardest hit during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s (Worster, 1979; Hurt, 1981). Yields of wheat and corn dropped as much as 50% below normal, causing the failure of about 200,000 farms and migration of more than 300,000 people from the region."

Meanshile, the plummet in the dollar and the rise in oil prices will continue.

With economies in a weakened state (from ignoring global warming for so long, increasing its effects), we'll be more susceptible to serious consequenses from the types of natural events that have happened in the past:

"...we could suffer any one of several catastrophes, such as a volcanic eruption no more severe than Tamboura in 1815 or Laki in Iceland in 1783. These two volcanoes put so much dust into the air that the sun's rays were enfeebled, the earth grew cool and there were two years without harvest. There were then far fewer people in the world, so there were famines, but not enough to destroy civilisation. Just imagine what would happen now. It is said that we have no more than 15-50 days' grain stocks in store at any one time. Two years makes this seem a very short time."

Answer 3

I think of Al Gore traveling to and from his mansion in limousines and private jets and lining his pockets with "carbon credit" money, the cost of which will be passed on to those poor idiotic taxpaying consumers as well as those of us who never bought into his lies.

Answer 4

Did you know that icebergs have been melting for centuries?  Have you ever been to Seattle?  Guess what cut the hood canal and puget sound?  Wernt farmers with massey fergusens....  They were icebergs....   I hope that iceberg that downed the titanic went back and planted itself back where it was cold in order to prevent itself from melting....

Lunacy disguised as intelligence is what Gore and these idiots are....  Gore claims to have invented the internet, can't spell tomato and didn't even know who Thomas Jefferson was....  Yet, he has a bunch of lemmings following him where ever

Answer 5

The warming is not what scares me. It's how people have reacted to it. I think of, how people will never change, and will allow themselves to be led like sheep, buying into whatever the next thing to be riding the wind. This kind of group-think, as has been so often demonstrated in the past can be disastrous.

Answer 6

i think of al gore - and his lies about global warming - and the other too

Answer 7

Answer 9

I think of days on the beach and surfing the waves. Then I think of lying politicians and scientist with an agenda.

Answer 11

I think of us losing our winters to heat and our summers getting hotter. Then there's the ice melting and the sea level rising. Its not just global warming we should worry about. Pollution has a lot to do with it too.
