Ok...so global warming was going to happen regardless of humans...?

Question

but humans helped by fastening the process...now is there anything wee can do to STOP and not slow global warming???

oh and why is burning fossils and such contribute to global warming??does it send greenhouse gases to the air...

oh and the most affective greenhouse gas is co2 right??

Answer 1

If you want to slow the process, you need to die, you produce co2 with every breath.

Answer 2

Actually if not for humans the planet would be in a very slow and gradual cooling phase.

"An often-cited 1980 study by Imbrie and Imbrie determined that 'Ignoring anthropogenic and other possible sources of variation acting at frequencies higher than one cycle per 19,000 years, this model predicts that the long-term cooling trend which began some 6,000 years ago will continue for the next 23,000 years.'"

We can eventually stop global warming by significantly reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.  Burning fossil fuels releases carbon (in the form of CO2) that's been trapped for millions of years.  We're releasing more than the natural carbon cycle can absorb, so it's accumulating in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect.

There are many greenhouse gases more effective (with a larger global warming potential) than CO2.  However, we're releasing so much CO2 into the atmosphere that it's the biggest cause of the current global warming.

Answer 3

Yes... global warming AND cooling.... have happened and will continue to occur..... naturally:

Global Warming Swindle

By Thomas Sowell

Britain's Channel 4 has produced a devastating documentary titled "The Great Global Warming Swindle." It has apparently not been broadcast by any of the networks in the United States. But, fortunately, it is available on the Internet.

Distinguished scientists specializing in climate and climate-related fields talk in plain English and present readily understood graphs showing what a crock the current global warming hysteria is.

These include scientists from MIT and top-tier universities in a number of countries. Some of these are scientists whose names were paraded on some of the global warming publications that are being promoted in the media -- but who state plainly that they neither wrote those publications nor approved them.

One scientist threatened to sue unless his name was removed.

While the public has been led to believe that "all" the leading scientists buy the global warming hysteria and the political agenda that goes with it, in fact the official reports from the United Nations or the National Academy of Sciences are written by bureaucrats -- and then garnished with the names of leading scientists who were "consulted," but whose contrary conclusions have been ignored.

There is no question that the globe is warming but it has warmed and cooled before, and is not as warm today as it was some centuries ago, before there were any automobiles and before there was as much burning of fossil fuels as today.

Answer 4

this is incorrect. Where do you get your information?

the global warming process has been nicely balanced over the past few hundred million years, but has increased dramatically over the past 50 years.

Where our global warming position is right now, would have usually occured a few hundred million years from now if it were not for humans.
