How can anyone doubt global warming?

Question

I mean , how can you explain the melting of the poles at an alarming rate . the dying of spices , etc . The reason people doubt global warming is because they dont want to take responsibility for their actions . I mean , just walk out side , i live in la California . Theres not a day that goes by that i can see the mountains anymore because of all the smog . Now tell me that doesn't affect the planet . Tell me all the waste we throw away everyday in landfills isn't hurting anyone . Tell me that cars are pumping out clean air from their exist . I understand some people dont want to trust AL gore ( i dont know why ) but they just dont . Thats fine dont . But he's not the first person who came up with this . I mean president jimmy carter knew about this problem in the 70's what does that tell you !

Answer 1

why?because there are a lot of ignorant people in the world,and thats really sad that theyre so ignorant that they cant even tell that their own demise is going to happen.

Answer 2

No one doubts global warming except the people who have had cooler local temperatures.  Otherwise their doubts are that the global warming is from fossil fuels and whether polar bears aren't really better off with warmer temperatures.  Get past the hype and it is caused by cosmic radiation,   warmer periods are good times on earth.

On the down side human's influence on the planet is on of mass extinction.  That is bad but of limited connection to global warming.  Global warming is real.

Answer 3

Well geenland was originally called greenland because when the vikings discovered it around 1000 AD it was lush and green and then around 1300 AD the world went into an iceage and according to most scientists we are coming out of that iceage and that is why the earth is suddenly warming up.

Answer 4

The reason people doubt the human effect on global warming is that we don't share your beliefs - that's all.  

Jimmy Carter had probably never even heard of global warming, back in the 1970's there was countless environmental scares getting much more attention than warming - like global cooling.

Answer 5

You're asking a question of religion, not science.

If you want to know how to explain it, find an explanation that is true. Global warming is not a scientific truth, it's a scientific likelihood.

If you want to know why those things are happening, urge scientists to keep improving their theories and proving them. Tell them that peer review is not good enough, that concrete answers are needed.

If you're willing to stop questioning now without all of the facts, without scientists pushing forward and proving it beyond a shadow of a doubt, you will have your answer. But religion isn't about answers, it's about faith.

I doubt global warming because I am a scientist and I demand scientific answers to scientific questions, not "pretty good" opinions based upon science. That's bad science.

Answer 6

of course what we do to our planet isnt good.

i do believe alot of what is going on is weather trends. im not saying global warming doesnt exist, but the gigantic panic we are placing on it is just kinda stupid. i dont really like how the media is manipulating us to action but i guess it will help so i cant say its entirely bad.

we do need to protect this earth before it gets worse

Answer 7

ignorance is bliss man! they are foolish!! i know a guy who has been going to Greenland and Antarctica for 20yrs the photos do not lie.. it saddens me that people don't realize what is really going on!!

Answer 8

It's just like the people who didn't believe that smoking was bad for you. Some people are ignorant and don't want to believe something that chould cause penitential damage the world.

Answer 9

People dont doubt global warming exactly.

They are in denial. They dont want to actually say "OMG, THE EARTH AND ITS SPECIES ARE DYING BECAUSE WE, AS HUMANS, ARE STUPID AND DONT TAKE CARE OF OUR PLANET"

No, they dont. Because it's something so catastraphic that if they realise it, they'll realise that we're skrewed..

We cant change to different, unpolutting sources right now because it's too expensive, and all the cars, ect that we drive now are built to run on oil. We havent developted solar power and wind power enough to power the whole world. What about air conditioners? We would have to completely do-over houses.

People drop trash in the oceans and on the ground because they are too lazy to walk over to a trash can. They dont realise that by dropping that piece of trash, some poor innocent animals somewhere in the world will DIE from it.

We are stupid. All we're doing is killing the planet that we were lucky enough to get.

People are in denail. And it's about time someone mde them face the music.

Answer 10

I don't know about Global Warming but Climate Change has been going on since the planet was born and will continue to change whether or not we like it or not and whether or not we change our ways.

Answer 11

Just because you choose to believe and accept the hysterical hype and not accept science does not mean that everyone is as gullible, or should be penalized for your mis-guided beliefs.

You, like too many other people, only look at your local weather conditions and associate that with climate.

Your statements are either wrong, misguided, misleading, or based on belief (or a combination), and has no scientific basis.

You live in the LA area.

This area is situated in an area which has always experienced smog related problems when there is a high pressure system which sits over it because of the bowl within

which it is located.

Move about 80 miles north into the San Joaquin Valley, and you will find what heat really is all about!

Your comment about Jimmy Carter also really makes no sense at all, since the so-called scientists were discussing the possibility of a new 'Ice Age' being on it's way.

At least back then it was considered something that we may have to eventually prepare for, and that man was not responsible for what 'Mother Nature' might throw at us!

I have to say that I am appalled at the tremendous waste that modern society produces (our throw away culture), but these are local issues which should be addressed and have nothing to do with 'Global Warming'!

If you would just try to learn some basic science, you would realize how mankind is so insignificant, that it is only arrogance, ignorance, and stupidity that makes people wish to believe this.

To choose not to learn the facts, you are only asking to be ripped off!

As far as Pope Gore is concerned, he has no other intentions than to jump on this 'bandwagon' and rip all of us off, while making a fortune in the process!
