Question

Do you believe in global warming, global cooling or neither (explain in detail)?

Answer 1

just me

Looks like you have you eyes open. Can’t say that about to many people in society today. Most of us walk around with blinders until a catastrophe hits, then we wake up pretty quick. Unfortunately we go blind again a few months later…

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

Answer 2

Sure. I mean if there is no more ice age, then I think something is heating up. But then again it's too long into the future to even be worried about it.

Answer 3

Yes I think global warming due to man's activities is occurring.  Our activities result in the emission of approx 5,500,000,000 tonnes of carbon per year into the atmosphere and has increased the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by about 30%.  Carbon dioxide is a so called greenhouse gas which allows radient heat of the wavelengths generated by the sun to pass through but absorbs and reradiates downwards some of the radient heat of different wavelength generated as the earth is heated.  This results in a so far small but becomingly increasingly important average rise in the earth's temperature.

Answer 4

I don't believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming, since I know that the climate of our planet goes through natural warming and cooling cycles.

Answer 5

If it is or isn't, you can do extremely little about it. That's just a fact. Use the curly cue light bulbs if you want to and drive a prius. In the end it means squat.

Answer 6

I don't believe in global warming....it's just a thing that they made up to scare everyone

Answer 7

global CLIMATE CHANGE is the term. and yes. we're f*cking up the planet.

Answer 8

i believe in global warming. bc many scientists believe in the ozone deteriorating due to polutions in the air causing the polar ice caps to melt.

Answer 9

The expression believe in is best suited to religious discussion. Scientists tend to avoid use of the term.

We know that we are creating greenhouse gas CO2, in very large volumes. We know that CO2 traps long wave radiation (heat). No need to turn to belief here.

We know that the concentration of CO2 in the oceans is rising, and with that the calcium content of the oceans is dropping. We can point to many other environmental damages from CO2 in the oceans.

We can derive that the atmospheric CO2 will raise global temperature in the lower  levels of the atmosphere. Those points are not seriously in any doubt.

What remains in doubt is whether we can stall global warming by cutting CO2 emissions by such trivial amounts as proposed in Kyoto.

Answer 10

Man made global warming is proven scientific fact.  There is no "debate" and it is not a matter of "believing." It is a question of ignorance or knowledge. The so-called "deniers" choose ignorance.

Answer 11

No I don't believe in global warming, but a hot-to-cold period.

after each ice-age, (there have been 4 so far) the earth considerably heats up. these ice-ages happened over a period of 600,000 years. the last one was only 100,000 years ago. whilst we could be making it heat up faster it probably was going to heat up anyway before it cools down again.

Answer 12

global warming is possibl  the earth is warming and also cooling  at the same time and  at differnt rates .but its mostly from not what people think its warming from. i AM a enviromentalist. and i have done research that it seems to me that i do not agree or disagree with either side i find that both nature and man take a key role in the effects of everything. also i think it is over looked and thought out to much by brillant minds who need statistics and equasions, another thought its very funding so the science deparment is making cash by this and also the gov feeds off this to bascily the more people bicker about the more people will get money. one  polution is a big factor in human heath so YES keeping water and areas clean is a MUST who wants thier child swimming in radioactive waste?  also the air we breath is VERY harmful down here also the lack of tree lessing all the oxygen that we need and everything else.   but  all in all who really knows?   the best thing to doo is do what u feel is right ...it is true that renewable engery is WAY more effecent so whatever floats your boat be it water or waste you pick

Answer 13

There is no way anyone can deny that global warming is occurring, all current research on temperature averages shows that we have been experiencing and increase.  The argument is over the cause of this research.  

Just please try to base your opinion  on reputable sources and not blogs or random posts

Answer 14

I believe in global warming.  I believe this because of the devastation that has been occurring for years now:  glaciers melting, pollution increasing, ozone layer depletion, etc.  Even nature's storms seem to be getting worse (ex: Katrina).  Ten, fifteen years ago cargo ships couldn't cross through the North Pole because of the ice.  Now, because of the ice melting, they can easily cross.  

We burn up our resources quickly; if we keep it up, they will be gone.  For years animals have gone into extinction because of overhunting, rain forests being cut down, and so on.  All of these factors play a major role in global warming.  

Even if a person doesn't believe that it is happening, I still think (from a non-global warming view) that something should be done to prevent it from happening.

Answer 15

omg, this drives me nuts, how can you NOT belive in it?!? have u ever been diving? snorkeling? well im 14, but i have seen pictures and stuff from as early as 10 years ago and at the rate we r going they're will be non left in less than 20 years. that will completly ruin tropical oceans, the beaches will be diffrent, you wont want to go to hawaii on vacation. anyways i could go on and on and on. and its not because of stupied ice ages or watever, WE ARE DOING IT!

anyway,  get a prius!  turn of water while brushing teeth! compost! (fyi, water is almost as much as a concern as global warming.)

DONT KILL POLAR BEARS!
