Question

Is global worming really that bad? i think it could be a little warmer here in WI,?

Answer 1

lol global worming.  Is that where worms are gonna infest the planet? hahaha

j/k

Seriously, I agree with you on being warmer.

No one seems to complain about global warming when we have these cold spells.  And Global Warming means to me that we are gonna have more warm weather in the future and less cold.  I hate the cold.

Answer 2

It's not just that things get a little warmer.  There will be coastal flooding, increased intensity of storms and drought.  Coping with it all will cost huge sums of money and damage the economy.

In poor countries it will be worse.  Many people will die of starvation.

It will basically be the biggest disaster in history.

Answer 3

lets say the earth was a little farther away from the sun. less than a million miles.  thats about 1%.  but that 1% would make the earth so cold and un-condusive to life.

life on a planet is based on a balance.  without that balance, everything goes out of whack.

Answer 4

There is theory and facts.  During the times of the Vikings temperatures were a couple of degrees warmer than today, but mankind survived and even prospered.  I wish the theory were true.  We could use the warm weather.

Answer 5

Nobody really knows.  The conventional wisdom is that humans are throwing so much CO2 into the air that the temperature will rise.  But this is based on computer simulations, not controlled experiments (which are obviously impossible), and anyone who has tried to use a computer to predict the weather knows how well that works.  The following points have received insufficient attention, and more study is needed:

- The effect of the oceans, which contain fifty times as much CO2 as does the atmosphere.

- Whether warming is an effect, or a cause, of CO2 elevation.  Some studies suggest the latter.

- Whether CO2 is really important as compared to water vapor as a greenhouse gas.

The only thing of which we can be absolutely certain is that any program with real effect on CO2 levels will be almost unbelievably expensive.  The UN has proposed a program; the price tag is $557,000,000,000,000 -- far more than the total value of every asset on the planet.

Answer 6

When you really look into it, in comparison with normal temperature cycles of the earth, global warming dosen't really exist, or at least there's no evidence of it.

Answer 7

Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text only covers some aspects of global warming ,mainly agriculture i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification

water and air polution such as caused by

industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories,

and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions

there are natural cycles in the planets life

but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

climate change is caused in great parts by desertification ,and most desertification is caused by man

the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were few desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up ,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,

and there are less and less farmers to do it..

Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities.

Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.

This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.

The farmers that are left have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.

Over the last half century,

Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million

In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .

RISING SEAS

The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.

this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter

Global warming could be slowed down to some extent,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where,instead of just some third world countries Source(s) here are a 100 ways to help

Answer 8

NO!! It's just a mass paranoid delusion of libtards suffering from brain pollution called the Chicken Little Syndrome. Ignore it. It goes away on it's own. Nature can't be stopped, changed, or "fixed' by humans.
