Is global warming something to worry about?

Question

I love earth and I get scared!

Answer 1

NO GLOBAL WARMING IS JACKED UP!

It has NO and I repeat NO truth to it at all.

It is a political scheme

Here is an outline for a 30 minute speech I delivered

I.  For a long time people have been looking through glasses that have foggy lenses of deception regarding global warming.  In the next couple of minutes I intend to show you a more accurate eye chart and update your prescription.

A.  Reasons for listening to my speech are very simple.  One of the main reasons is that Global Warming is nothing to waste your time on.  If it so important to the environment, then we would have done something for it by now.  Another reason that you should listen is that this could be a life changing speech that greatly effects every moment of your life from here on out.

I am 100% accurate in reporting my information.  I have done the research necessary to ensure that you are getting nothing but hard core facts.  For the past several weeks of my life has been dedicated to finding out information for my speech topic.  Nobody knows as much credible information on this topic as I do.

C. My point for this speech is to try and persuade you to see the light at the end of the dirty tunnel of humanities’ lies.

II.  Global Warming is the most debatable topic that was probably ever around.  You need to know this information.  If you don’t educate yourself properly on this topic you will live the rest of your life in fear of something that doesn’t exist.

A.  Global Warming is a natural cycle.  Everything about it is natural.  Carbon dioxide levels vary throughout time.  Humans can make little or no impact on the environment.

1.  Take a look at this chart taken from an online internet poll.  What do you notice from this?  There is a close tie between adults that believe in Global Warming and some that don’t.  As you can see the charts are pretty close.  There is about one person who doesn’t believe in Global Warming to two people who do.  This means that only 60% of the world believes in global warming.  My goal by the end of this speech is to have the 60% be persuaded that they are not believing in the accurate thing.  With the following facts, I am 100% sure that this goal is possible and will be achieved.

2.  Al Gore stated this quote in his movie “…The 10 hottest years ever recorded were within 15 years of today.”  Now this point is valid and true, but we have not been measuring the temperature or anything since the early nineteen hundreds.  Can we go down and see how the polar ice caps were doing in the early 1800’s?  We can not do that  because temperature was not recorded.  You may say that they guessed using carbon dioxide levels,  but whose to say that they are right?  I heard that scientific measures were not always accurate because they took a hundred year old log and did some carbon 14 testing on it.  Scientists thought that it was thousands of years old.  It was later proved to be younger after more tests were ran.  Whose to say that our method of discovering weather is right?   We have been measuring temperature for only a short period of time.  Earth right now is in a heating process.  Thousands of years ago we were cooling which is when we had an Ice Age.  Now we are doing the opposite and are starting to warm up before cooling again. Look at this political cartoon.  What is one thing that you notice?  I notice it being freezing then gradually getting warmer. As my next point is about to prove, we have no effect on the environment no matter what we do.

3.  In 1990 a volcano in the Philippines erupted violently.  It was by far one of the biggest explosions of the century.  We all have read about how volcanoes let off carbon dioxide, but did you know this… When the volcano erupted, it put more carbon dioxide in the air than all of humanity has ever produced…. More than humans have made since the creation of time.  All in just a matter of hours. Look at this picture.  See all of this carbon dioxide being put into the air?  While, with all of this there was no temperature increase or decrease at all… just some carbon dioxide level changes, but nothing major.  If volcanoes put off this much carbon dioxide with no effect, then how could we be doing this?  When all this happened, then how could you be persuaded that humans who produce fractions of that amount could impact the environment in fractions of the time.  Humans if we tried could not severely impact the environment.  It is just too big.  Even if we are letting some off, plants and other natural recyclers of Carbon Dioxide are just transforming them to oxygen.

4.  During World War II,  we dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan.  We spilled tons of harmful green house gasses into mother nature.  This includes  radiation, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide.  After all of that happened, again there was no effect to the environment that was found.  Hiroshima has been having radiation problems still, but there is no significant temperature problem.  Nothing humans do can severely change our environment.  We only occupy about 50% of the globe.  The other 50% is the ocean, ice caps, and land that is not suitable for humans.  How could two nuclear bombs not have an impact on the environment, but changing a light bulb in your house to fluorescent can save the environment?  It is just impossible that we could have an impact.    

5.  Another point is that if you look in your text book, I promise you that you will find these words… “When Washington was marching his troops, it was bitterly cold outside”  Bitterly cold means freezing.  I know that they didn’t have supplies but Virginia in the summer (which is when they fought) is warm.  As you can see by these charts, it was 106 degrees outside in the summer.  This is without humidity too.  Now when we look at this chart it shows us that the battle was fought in Yorktown.  There isn‘t much of a distance between Yorktown and Richmond, were this was recorded.  How was it bitterly cold a few hundred years ago when now it is normal?  The conclusion is that it is a natural cycle.  The cycle changes every several hundred years.  It was cold then, and now it is slowly warming up.  We have nothing to do with it.  This is perfectly natural for our environment to do.  We would like to believe that humans are the dominate species.  Have we ever thought to wonder if what we believe in is caused by nature?

6.  One of the most important factual information is still on our planet.  Greenland is one of the most misunderstood places around.  People like to believe that the reason that it got it’s name is because the settlers didn’t want people to move there so they called an icy land Greenland so that settlers would move their instead of Iceland were it really was green..  After I saw a show on the discovery channel,  I concluded that it was actually green.  When the first settlers went there,  they dined on grapes and cows.  I don’t think that I am mistaken, but how could a cow live on an icy land with nobody to feed it.  Grapes grow in warm environments which is not ice.  Greenland fits that exact description.  Also as you can see on this picture, there is still some green left in it.  All of it was green once, which proves that it once was green and now it is ice because of the natural cycle, it is starting to freeze.  Now Greenland is melting to start the process all over again.  In a few hundred years, Greenland will begin to freeze.

NOTE TO READER: FOR POINT 67-8 IT MAKES NO SENCE UNLESS POWERPOINT IS VISIBLE… THANKS!

7.  Ok…  Phoenix is known as a hot dry desert place.  You think that it keeps getting hotter and hotter here each summer.  Take a look at this display on the screens.  As you can see,  during the day the sun is radiating energy to a large city… lets call it Phoenix.  It does this all day until the sun starts to go down.  As you can see now,  the buildings are built up with radiation while the desert area barely got any radiation build up.  Now it is night and as you can see the buildings are radiating heat forming a heat bubble.  Now in Phoenix at night it is around 95 degrees.  That is because of the buildings radiating.  We are made of concrete and steel so we absorb heat.  Take a look over at the desert.  See how the temperature there is lower?  This is because it is not trapped in the heat bubble of radiation.

8.Many people relate global warming with long citywide droughts.  Like in Phoenix, we are in a drought.  There are many reasons why this is not caused by us. Have you ever watched the news and heard the following phrase “… and people of Chandler are getting pelted by rain, many individuals are putting up sand bags to protect their homes…?”  What this is saying is that small little cities are getting poured on.  Look at the power point and see why,  The big glob in the center is called Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria.  Ok now imagine that we are in the middle of a storm.  The red indicates heavy rain and the yellow indicates moderate rain.  As you can see from this animation that I made,  the storm is going around Phoenix.  We are a giant blob and the storm is just simply avoiding us.  Smaller cities like Chandler and Mesa are being pelted by this continuous down pour.  So in smaller cities they may say, “We got rained on the most we ever have” and the airport were they measure the amount of rain says there were only a few drops of rain.  This proves that we did not cause the drought by carbon dioxide, but we did it by industrializing.  

9.  Global Warming is also just a political trap.  Who are the only ones who want to try and do something about global warming besides tree huggers?  Politicians do.  When somebody is running for office this makes a better point, I am going to save the world!  Who would you rather vote for… Mr. Free Dental Insurance, or Mr. I am Going To Save The Planet From Destruct

Answer 2

As bad as Nukes and non nuke Warfare.

Global Warming may kill  in a fashion not as fast but is still very deadly. A Non Proliferation Agreement or treaty  like those made between nations on nuclear weapons except this time an agreement or treaty to dismantle all Oil Based Cars except for Classic twenties, thirties, and 50's cars put to use in car shows and parades. Non Proliferation of oil use agreementas well.  A message also that He Who Drives his cars drives with Bin Laden to follow the advice of comedian Bill Maher.

Answer 3

Watch the movie:

An Inconvenient Truth

Then you can see the true horror of Global Warming. It's no joke.  People who dismiss Global Warming are trash, seriously.

Answer 4

it's the or one of the biggest things to worry about!!! The polar bear is the first animal to be endangered becouse of global warming, if more ice keeps melting, than there will be a huge flood,it could take over the planet!!!

Answer 5

yes, you definitely have to worry. global warming affects everything. we have to worry about our health, our economy, dieing ecosystems, and extreme weather. More heat can cause serious health problems such as asthma and air pollution. Towns struck by hurricanes that were caused by global warming are still rebuilding. if we don't have snow, our economy is dead.

Answer 6

I bet when the cave man saw the ice age was coming, global freezing was their big threat.  Guess they couldn't fix their "problem" either...

global warming is a bunch of bs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Fact #1: There has been no increase in temperatures since 1998 and this year is due to be colder still.

Fact # 2: There is no scientific study that shows a set amount of CO2 elevates temperature a set number of degrees. For example no study shows that, say for every 100 ppm of CO2 the temperature elevates 1 degree. It doesn't exist.

Fact # 3: Global warming and cooling does exist....just not man made global warming. El Nino and La Nina cool and warm the Earth in Cycles as well as the sun during high sun spot activity.  Think about it....what supplies the Earths heat?  The Sun. When the Sun cycles through  its 11 year sunspot activites so goes the Earth.

Just make sure when you hear these outrageous claims you research and verify their claims. Use common sense and you will be fine.

Answer 8

It's not a problem.  Don't worry, take a trip.  You won't die from global warming.  Your grand kids will die from skin cancer, lung disease, petro chemical poisoning or starvation, but what the heck you will be rotting in the ground by then.

Answer 9

Worried, yes.  Scared, no.

We can fix this.

By the way the person below who makes the ridiculous claim that "I have studied this more than anyone else", has posted nothing but nonsense.

Like the unsupported "volcanoes emit more CO2 than Man."  Utterly ridiculous.  Volcanoes emit less than 1% of what Man does.  Proof, from scientists.

http://www.geology.sdsu.edu/how_volcanoe...

"T.M.Gerlach (1991, American Geophysical Union) notes that human-made CO2 are dwarfed the estamated global release of CO2 from volcanoes by at least 150 times. The small amount of global warming caused by eruption-generated greenhouse gases is offset by the far greater amount of global cooling caused by eruption-generated particles in the stratosphere (the haze effect)."

Answer 10

YES IT IS.

It might not affect us as much [ BUT HAS ANYONE BEEN NOTICING ALL THESE NATURAL DISASTERS HAPPENING LATELY!!!!!!!!] but it will affect the generations to come even more.

Our great or even grandchildren shouldnt have to pay for our actions!!!!

Answer 11

The more important question is have you noticed that MANY of the Global Warming alarmist LIKE AL GORE don't in any way practice what they preach.  Who do you think uses up more fossile fuel in a year?  100 or even 500 americans OR Al Gore flying around in his private yet, living in his mansion, and GETTING RICH selling 'Global Warming' carbon tickets or coupons or what ever he calls them.  (*He is getting MAD RICH from them!).  He, like TOO MANY DEMS, want to tell the world what to do but in no way PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH.

If he REALLY thought this was such a huge problem wouldn't he be DOING SOMETHING and not just preaching about it?

Also, did you notice that this was the coldest April in the last 10 years?  Did you know Al Gore's response?  "RIGHT!  That's because of Global Warming!"

So if we get warmer weather= Global Warming.

Colder weather= Global Warming?

And they call Gerorge W. stupid?  Come one people wake up!

Lastly, have you noticed that they (*media, politicians) are now NOT calling it Global Warming?  It is now 'Climate Change' - that way if the weather is warmer OR colder they can still say "It's all man's fault!  We need your money to stop it!"

Answer 12

no global warming isnt even real i mean come on

Answer 13

Historically global warming has been hugely beneficial to humans.  And the earth is going to be just fine, it's gone through FAR!!!!! more extreme climate shifts than this little statistical blip could even dream of being.

Answer 14

No, just live your life and treat others with kindness.

Answer 15

i would. and even if it isnt somthing to worry about, think about it like this. your saving money if you become more eco friendly. lightbulbs last longer/ use less envergy, turn off the lights if your not using them and you save your electric bill. car pool youll save gas money. you get my drift

Answer 16

We should work to stop it, or slow it at least. But don't cry over it. Google ways you can help!

Answer 17

Al Gore is a liar. An inconveniant piece of ****. It's from all of the polar bear **** making a big hole in the o-zone layer.

Answer 18

Absolute fiction made up by the liberal agenda.

Answer 19

No it is not, if it is happening it is not caused by man. They used to call people like Al Gore snake oil salesmen, make people think they are dying and take their money.

Answer 20

No, it is better than the alternative... Global Cooling

The Global Temperature fluctuates over the years.  The largest argument is whether man-kind is a major contributer.  

Man-kind is such a tiny fraction of contribution with their automobiles, factories, and all walks of life, it has recently been found to be = to less than 1/10 of 1 inch when compared to a football field's 100 yards

Answer 21

Global warming is a myth.  There has been talk of global warming and an impending ice age since the late 1800's.  Only now we have given up our common sense and we are letting two or three people control what we do while we dig for roots and worms.  Al Gore and Obama and his elites will in mind boggling luxury because of Al's "carbon taxes" levied against the public for not living like cavemen.

Answer 22

we really need 2 worrry about global warming

becuase if we dont, the over heating of the earth will change our environment & planet in a bad way

and it will cause excinction of probably all animals and plants

Answer 23

Global warming is going to be the next Y2K  

        Its all the same even the same people are pushing it into the media...

     Its not about which scientist says what its about watch and see,  just remember TomThumb told you and when it does go the way of y2k  you can thank me for all the money you saved not buying waterwings to save yourself from the rising seas
