Question

If global warming were real, why would it matter we will not be here when it gets bad anyways?

Answer 1

A century of solar warming has ended; our planet is cooling.  NASA's eight weather satelites recorded global cooling of .7 degrees celsius during the last year.  The temperature decline nearly ERASED the one degree celsius global warming of the past 100 years.  

Fuggetaboutit.

Answer 2

Gobal Warming is real. think of it this way by not helping stop it your murdering your children, granchildren, great granchildren, etc. plus saying who cares in also saying i dont care if 2/3 of earths land is under water, world-wide starvation takes over, the other 1/3 of earth's land is below sea level ect. also saying that you dont care if the human race. along with all living things die, oh and you are not bothering save the planet. so let me get this strait you still think that it doesnt matter and we should let future people do it. Well allow me to tell you this We are the future, and what happens to are world is our responisbilty, and if we all join togeather we can save our planet.

Answer 3

Not everyone is as selfish as you are. Some people actually care about the future of the planet and the human race and other animals. Also why are you presenting this as a hypothetical question? Global warming is real and it is having effetcs RIGHT NOW so we are gonna be around as it gets worse.

Answer 4

that is pure supposition

Global warming is here and so are we

And many will still be here  when it gets worse

Wow nickel Johan ,drugs and prostitutes is your idea of enjoyment

what about chocolate cake and whipped cream orgies with friends

Answer 5

Off course if you are a coward and not very responsible person, it does not matter. If you do not care about the future, I would recommand to enjoy everything right this instant, take drugs and go to prostitutes.

Most people however are part of the society and feel the have not only rights but also duties. (and most understand this simple  concept).

Humans are also a specie and the ultimate goal of species is the survival.

Answer 6

I'll bet you a Nickel we are.

Answer 7

acctully you might. depening on how old u are. i am 15. i will be old when global warming is at its worst, but still it will not be enjoyable. within the next 20 years global warming WILL BE A HUGE PROBLEM so idk how old you are but you will be effected greatly

Answer 8

Since you appear to be quite young, I suspect that you will definitely still be here when more visible effects start causing problems.

Here's some of the expected near-term impacts from the latest IPCC assessment:

In Africa: "By 2020, between 75 million and 250 million people are projected to be exposed to increased water stress due to climate change."

In Australia & New Zealand: "As a result of reduced precipitation and increased evaporation, water security problems are projected to intensify by 2030"

In Asia: "Glacier melt in the Himalayas is projected to increase flooding, and rock avalanches from destabilised slopes, and to affect water resources within the next two to three decades."

In North America: "Disturbances from pests, diseases and fire are projected to have increasing impacts on forests, with an extended period of high fire risk and large increases in area burned"

Answer 9

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Some scientific estimates of rising sea levels due to polar ice melting would have major cities round the world experiencing serious flood problems by 2050. I may not be around by then but my children should be!

Answer 10

What if our ancestors had felt that way, would we be here today? Future generations are your children and their children. We owe it to them to make the world a safe and healthy place to live.

Answer 11

well to tell the truth global warming is getting closer and close and wouldn't you like to leave earth knowing that you did a part to save it?...  i mean our children's children might be here when it takes place......i mean it's already started thanks to litterers,and the president...

Answer 12

pls don't think that way...wen d time comes wen it will come to it's worst, you might not be here anymore..and maybe, i will not be here anymore also..but still, we shud take action to it and prevent it from getting worse..the future earth lies in our hands..if we will not take seriously this issue, our children or our grandchildren will the one who will suffer..

so, i'm encouraging every one to take action and help stop global warming..
