Should I beleive in Global Warming?

Question

I mean whats the point?

Are humans really that bad?

Answer 1

are you COMPLETELY unaware of whats going around you, or are you just really stupid. how can you even ask if global warming is believable. whoever thinks global warming is some outlandish "theory", wake up and smell the gasoline-rising, ice-berg melting, pollution filled roses!

there are so many alternatives to the way humans treat our planet in supposed "necessary evils". if one person would just make a difference in there life, and it could catch on to everyone doing the same thing, we could all really get somewhere. somethings like this would be: TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR METRO SYSTEM! these things are meant to be used, and are suprisingly efficient and cost effective at getting you where you need to be. its carpooling times a million. Or, even better, use a bike as transportation!

Just the little things count to take the edge off in order to conserve our precious wonder: Earth.

Answer 2

it isnt the freaking tooth fairy...it is science fact we may not see immediate results but the last hundred years of undustry has really taken its toll on the planet

Answer 3

ok here's the short and skinny of it

Global warming is real

Global warming is not caused by humans

global warming is caused by volcanic eruptions, plant decay, and oceanic evaportion putting CO2 into the environment.

no human can prevent this or is causing this to happen, so it is a naturally occuring event.

it started happening when we melted our way out of the last major ice age, and that same global warming is happening right now, hence the melting polar ice caps.

an earth ice age lasts roughly 100 thousand years, it then gets a temporary reprieve of 15 to 20 thousand years of a warming up period before going back to an ice age.

we are currently in the eight thousandth year region, give or take a few years.  

so i guess yes global warming is real

but you don't have to hate yourself, because there is nothing anyone, icluding you, will ever be able to do about it

Answer 4

Global Warming is a strong topic. SOme people believe in it, but others dont. It your own personal view. Some say the earth is actually getting colder (Greenland was once green, and they have used heavy duty machines to dig up ancient skeletons. could people from long ago really dig through that permafrost?) But some people say that it is just our constant changing planet. U can believe in it, like i do believe humans might have an effect on the warming of the earth.

Answer 5

Sure, the planet will self destruct just after the martians attack, or the Russians or the computers all stop working because they can't rollover. Those were all real fears in there days, this is the latest, so what do you think?

Answer 6

heck yes..

it doesnt matter if you believe in it or not.. its still going to happen. we are that bad. go read a book about it or something.

look it up on youtube. we are destroying the planet.

Answer 7

well yes..u should.. it is gonna happen sooner or l8r..n whts ur explanation abt the rising temperatures if u dont believe in it??

and watch the movie (or documentary) "An Inconvenient Truth" It will DEFINETLY change ur views on the earth..

u can watch the others on this list too!

Top 11 Warmest Years On Record Have All Been In Last 13 Years

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200...

ScienceDaily (Dec. 13, 2007) — The decade of 1998-2007 is the warmest on record, according to data sources obtained by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The global mean surface temperature for 2007 is currently estimated at 0.41°C/0.74°F above the 1961-1990 annual average of 14.00°C/57.20°F...

...Since the start of the 20th century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74°C. But this rise has not been continuous. The linear warming trend over the last 50 years (0.13°C per decade) is nearly twice that for the last 100 years...

...2007 global temperatures have been averaged separately for both hemispheres. Surface temperatures for the northern hemisphere are likely to be the second warmest on record, at 0.63°C above the 30-year mean (1961-90) of 14.6°C/58.3°F. The southern hemisphere temperature is 0.20°C higher than the 30-year average of 13.4°C/56.1°F, making it the ninth warmest in the instrumental record since 1850.

January 2007 was the warmest January in the global average temperature record at 12.7°C/54.9°F, compared to the 1961-1990 January long-term average of 12.1°C/53.8°F...

Global 10 Warmest Years Mean Global temperature (°C) (anomaly with respect to 1961-1990)

1. 1998 0.52

2. 2005 0.48

3. 2003 0.46

4. 2002 0.46

5. 2004 0.43

6. 2006 0.42

7. 2007(Jan-Nov) 0.41

8. 2001 0.40

9. 1997 0.36

10. 1995 0.28

Mans unfailing capacity to believe what he deems to be true despite all evidence to the contrary.

Believe in global warming or no. It will make no difference. In the end you will die.

Hopefully we won't be up to our high pockets in glacial ice by then.
