Global warming won't destroy the Earth?

Question

Will it not only change it? It might actually save it from humans, by killing much of us off. It might be a self defence mechanism?

Answer 1

Yeah......Yes.....that's a good idea.....the earth's way of killing off a parasite. !!     I am REALLY gonna sleep good now !?!?

Answer 2

no,,, it will not destroy world..man may have some ideas about global warming

Answer 3

Global Warming is manufacturing fear. It could happen but show one place on earth where the waters or seas have risen? other than by storms or king tides. Glaciers break up and cause false alarms all over the world & some rises in tides have been speculated.The tides and waters are in the same position as they have been for hundreds of years; Show one place on earth where its changed drastically? There is none! Otherwise there will be floods and chaos. Glacier volcanoes have made temporary rises in some places but nowhere permanent. Global Warming is another media manufactured fear scaring tactic of scaring the public as it rakes in millions of dollars but so did the Millennium Bug hoax world wide. Some other predictor predicted the end of the world in 1998 and the media showed tidal waves coming but had no Geographic knowleadge, forgetting no tidal waves can penetrate a 200 mile continental shelf,

Now Sydney has an amazing weather guru that says Sydney will freeze, so if its going to freeze, how in h**l can you have global warming? Is the seas going to rise? Or do we freeze? Make up your minds! All just pure speculation; manufacturing prime fear. Email your favourite television studio and see how they have all kinds of gobal warming kits for sale. So you see; the media leads the plight; raking the biggest bucks like relgion; fear is big business! Isn't it time Kevin Rudd introduces media legislation and controls our dangerous speculating media that is out of control and lost the plot.

Answer 4

"The human race appears to be forcing changes that are straining our planet's defences. This fragility seems curiously at odds with Earth's long-standing resilience. Daily we are bombarded from all quarters about the need to 'save the planet', but in this book we pose an even more fundamental question: is it the planet that needs saving from us or the other way round?"

Dr Iain Stewart from his TV series EARTH - THE POWER OF THE PLANET

His final line from the last episode was 'It's not the planet we should be worrying about, it's us.'

Good book accompanied it too. Your library might have a copy or be able to get hold of one.

I don't believe that the earth is 'conscious' in any way, or takes measures to 'defend' itself. But we need to understand that 6 billion industrious people can affect its atmosphere and have a big impact on its land, ecosystems and oceans. As a species we're not used to long term planning or the idea that resources might be finite. We may learn those lessons the hard way. I still think most issues come back to population numbers and population growth.

Humans are an amazingly resilient, adaptable species. There  are very few areas of the world we haven't been able to colonise and survive in. So the issue could come down to how our societies continue.

The trend for more and more people to live in vast cities for example could be making large numbers of people very vulnerable should food, water or fuel shortages occur.

As for extreme weather events think of New Orleans.

Answer 5

have you read a book called "A vingança de Gaia" (in english it must be: The revenge of Gaia). James Lovelock, the author, talks about it, that the earth is defending itself from a disease called Human beings.

Answer 6

The earth will not be destroyed. It will be damaged along with the human race due to poor choices, but if we can FINALLY agree on something then the world would be much better. And if we weren't so greedy. Yeah.

Answer 7

Humans will survive global warming because we can build our own artificial micro-climates. Many plants and animals are not so lucky. They have evolved to live in a narrow microchasm and specific type of habitat. Global warming, and the drastic changes that it brings, will occur relatively  quickly, radically altering the environment of suspectible species before they have an opportunity to adapt.

So although, mankind will survive global warming, we will be noticably effected by the dramatic loss of many important organisms such as potential medicinal plants and animal diversity.

Answer 8

the earth cant be be destroyed by this but in can become unlivable

Answer 9

How can it be a self defence mechanism if global warming is apparently manmade. Its more like we are the cause of our own demise, according to global warming anyway.

Answer 10

No matter what we do to the earth, it will eventually recover. whether we will also is another question entirely.

Answer 11

The world will survive. Probably many humans will survive. Nature has no conscience. It kills with abandon, and only the strong survive. Only man has remorse and guilt feelings. Nature will do whatever it takes to survive.
