Question

Is it too late to repair the damage to the Earth by global warming/pollution and over resourcing?

Answer 1

Is it too late? No, it probably isn't, if we act right away.

Will we do what's necessary right away? No, we won't.

Answer 2

Let's put it this way.......IF the AGW enthusiasts were genuinely concerned about the effect of greenhouse gases, do you think that 10 to 15 THOUSAND of them would have jumped on pollution-spewing jet planes to attend a climate conference in Bali??  They could have used electronic Video-Conferencing IF they were REALLY being truthful about CO2 emissions!!

Bottom line is that 'they exposed themselves as frauds'!!

Answer 3

I don't think it's too late but.....I think there is too much greed in the world and business won't stop it.

Answer 4

Unless we all do something about it right now, yes.  Doesn't that suck! :(

Answer 5

Sis,

Yes it is to late to fix it but it is never to late to stop it .

As a mother and Grandmother I often wonder how my

Kids and their kids and so on after I'm gone from the world will have it. I have only lived 44 years and in just that much time it has spiraled out of control .I can't help but wonder if all of this isn't whats causing the growing amounts of cancers and other diseases .Being of Native American Heritage it has saddened me to see all the wasted woodlands and the polluted waters.Animals are becoming lesser in species and some are becoming extinted .

Answer 6

My guess is yes. and it's sad, cause even NOW no one cares and come up with any excuse they can do continue polluting.

If people had listened to the scientists years earlier, things might have been reversible, but as it stands, no. it's all over.

Even if all pollution stopped today, we'd still be in for some of the worst effects. and we're at least 20 years from being even a bit cleaner.

Now instead of figuring out what to do about GW, we have to figure out how we're going to explain to our children that we so willingly destroyed everything

Answer 7

Global warming appears to be a hoax.  There are many more scientists who disagree with it than who agree with it.  Look at how many scientists signed the Heidleberg Convention, compared to how many signed the Kyoto Accord.  Note:  Most of the people who signed the Kyoto Accord are NOT scientists.  Most who signed the Heidelberg document ARE.

If you look at the average annual temperature of the earth for the last 10,000 years, during about 4,000 years (from about 7,000 to about 3,000 years ago) the average temperature was well above the 10,000 year average.  Modern man (that's us) obviously lived through it, since we are still here.  Also, I don't recall anyone driving around in SUVs 7,000 to 3,000 years ago  The average annual temperature for the last 20 years is still way below the 10,000 year average.  In the last 20 years the average annual temperature of the earth has only increased about 1 degree.  Is that an increase?  Yes.  Does it mean anything?  NO.

Also, in the 2006 paper from NASA that the UN used as their basis for stating that global warming was a fact, there were 2 important paragraphs that the UN removed.  One said that there was no evidence that greenhouse gases had anything to do with the climatic changes we were seeing.  The other paragraph said that there was no evidence that human activities had anything to do with greenhouse gases.

The earth has had many factors in its history which have affected its temperature.  We have had ice ages at some times, and tropical climates over a lot of the planet at other times.  The last 20 years is an insignificant blip in this equation, but it is the time period that the global warming proponents keep talking about.

If you really want something to worry about, I suggest you start thinking about human overpopulation.  If people keep having kids at the present rate, after a while you won't have to worry about the temperature, because we will all die of starvation or disease.

Answer 8

Almost to late.

Less and less oxygen in the biosphere, ozonhole, forestfires, showering spacejunk, choking and agonizing species of lifeforms, bees extinct trend,

tornadoes, aggressive temperature indifferences between day and night= the "science "of Werner von Braun>>>rocketengines propelled oxigen by volume away from the gasshield of our planet.

Answer 9

I would like to say NO but I think the damage is done.  It will take ten times as long to undo what is done if we stopped tomorrow.  I fear the future for the upcoming generations looks bleak.  Once the environment is ruined...it's gone..  Trees won't grow back that fast.  Pollution by petroleum products and by products is permanent.  Some of the chemicals will break down but that will take hundreds if not thousands of years.  Severe weather changes show us what happens when we mess up the environment.  Keep an eye on the Polar Bears.  Their numbers are diminishing.  An example of what's happening now.

Answer 10

yes i think it is to late,
