Global warming....?

Question

What are the effects of global warming and how has it affected our earth? If we don't reduce our waste and carbon emmission what will happen? What are the ways of saving the earth?

Answer 1

Nobody can save the earth for ever. It has begun, but we can delay it.  We need to save energy.

Here you can see some effects.

Answer 2

The earth is continually warming and cooling. It has been MUCH hotter than it is now and MUCH colder than it is now.  Global warming is not such a bad thing--the equatorial regions will stay about the same temperature and the northern and southern latitudes will heat up, making for more available farm land with longer seasons to feed our starving population.

I would be more concerned about outright dumping of toxins into our environment--this is what will make life on earth more difficult and negatively impact bio-diversity. We need to punish the greedy who shortcut safer ways to store or post-process polutants, as well as develop better methods of production that don't require the use of dangerous substances.

Answer 3

The Earth has been warming and cooling constantly throughout its entire history.  The amount of man made carbon in the air is about 75 parts per 1 million which is nowhere near enough to make any perceptible difference in the climate.  The Earth has been warmer over the last few years but that is because of the Sun not man.  if you look at the climate records from the mid to late 70's, the Earth was in a cooling trend.  

Unfortunately "Global Warming" has become a political tool for people to use to push their various agendas.

Answer 4

The biggest and most destructive effect of Global warming is the melting of Ice Caps in the North Pole. Mountains of ice have subsided into the sea for the past several years.. the effect of this is the submersion of earthlands into the waters, the most affected areas are the ones near the sea or bayside. If this situation continues, earthlands will become 1/4 while the waters will be 3/4. (imagine the effect of this in humans and land animals.

Answer 5

well yeah its true that we cant stop it

but we CAN slow it down.

but too many ignorant ppl dont care about saving this world.

=[

Answer 6

Start with a small step such as

Turn off the light you do not use

Try to walk for a short distance instead of driving

Use less plastic bag

Use less make up, keep a beauty from inside out etc

Answer 7

You cant stop global warming. it doesn't matter what car you drive its going to warm up like it was before. There is a map from the Christopher Columbus days in the museum that's clearly shows a lake in the middle of Antarctica and green land as two separate islands. Only with sophisticated echo resonance has science discovered this to be true. Obviously its been this warm in the recent past. So we have to assume that the sun has outbursts of heat that wafts over the earth warming it intermittently. And in their absence cools it severely. The sun is a burning ball of gas so it's susceptible to fluctuations in intensity by nature. Scientists have shown that pollutants stay in our atmosphere and clouds the clear layer of oxygen that's surrounds the earth. This causes a "greenhouse" effect by  trapping the suns heat inside and thus warming all that's inside this "cloud" Something that's interesting is this. Volcanoes are the biggest contributers to this greenhouse effect. The emissions from you car are minute in comparison. Global warming its un avoidable. Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow volcanoes will continue the effect.
