Answer 1

It kills people mother earth hates us

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Six people have been killed in three days by icicles falling from buildings in a central Russian region, ITAR-TASS news agency reported Tuesday.

Plummeting chunks of ice is an annual hazard for pedestrians in Russia during the spring when the sun finally melts thick layers of ice and snow which build up on roofs over months of freezing temperatures and darkness.

Medical authorities in the region of Samara told ITAR-TASS that five people died in the city of Samara and another person died in the nearby town of Otradny between February 23 and February 25.

Answer 4

Actually global warming isn't like the greenhouse effect...  The greenhouse effect is a possible cause of Global Warming.  Global Warming simply refers to the warming of the average temperature on the surface (or biosphere) of the globe.  It can "work" from a variety of ways.  A theory of how the ice caps are melting has to do with green house gases in our atmosphere.  They have the ability to trap the sun's energy in our atmosphere (hence the term "greenhouse").  The oceans can retain heat energy very efficiently, and for very long periods of time, simply a property of water.  This heated water accumulates over time, gets carried to the poles via ocean currents, and steadily melts the ice caps.

Answer 5

Well, it starts with people like Al Gore blowing alot of hot air into the atmosphere...
