Survey: Is global warming our falt?

Answer 1

yes.

Answer 2

You'll get a much better answer to that question here:

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/a...

speakeasy - The last ice age ended because of an increase in solar radiation known as a Milankovic cycle.  We know it's not doing that now, because (duh) we measure the Sun.

Excess water vapor falls out rapidly as precipitation.  Excess CO2 stays there for years.  So water vapor cannot CAUSE warming and CO2 can.  Warmer air holds more water vapor so water vapor can make warming CAUSED by CO2 worse, though.

"Pollutant" is a legal word, not a technical one.  The Supreme Court has ruled that CO2 IS a pollutant (because excess amounts cause harm).  Since this issue is a legal deal, they win.

Answer 3

Of course it is. Society today just doesn't care. I could be wrong about this, but even if it's not our fault, we are still contributing to the problem by not taking care of our environment and properly disposing our waste products. We push the environment aside to suit our own needs.

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)

Answer 5

yes because we do all the burning and don't even care to replace cut down and burned down trees. The earth's atmosphere gets hotter and then changes to cold because of global warming.

Answer 6

Part of global warming is our fault.

That is not the best way to look at this.

We need to look at getting better results from the amount of fossil fuels we burn. Any increase in the rate of global warming is not needed, and it is unlikely beneficial. We should then preserve as much of our fossil fuels for future generations as we can.

Our problem is that we have a mentality that says it is our GOD GIVEN RIGHT to leave earth with no remaining fossil fuels, just because it might not be all our fault that the world is warming up.

Answer 7

Have you noticed that the last deadly Ice Age ended 10,000 years ago? The glaciers have retreated 2,000 miles since then. The oceans have risen hundreds of feet. How can man-made pollutants possibly be blamed for this ongoing natural cycle?

Warming and cooling is driven by fluctuations in the sun's energy output. That is why the Earth was COOLING during the 1960s and 1970s, despite the tremendous amounts of pollutants we were producing.

Water Vapor accounts for about 95% of the atmosphere's heat retention ability. It is not a pollutant.

Carbon Dioxide accounts for less than 1% of the atmosphere's heat retention capability. It is also not a pollutant. It is the basic nutrient of all life on this planet. With more CO2, plants grow better and produce more oxygen. Back when the Earth was covered with massive jungles and dinosaurs, the CO2 levels were several times higher than they are now. Gigantism needs more CO2 and more of the oxygen plants create from it.

Why do we pretend warming is a bad thing?  Life does not prosper on ice, it prospers in a GREENHOUSE.

Answer 8

plain and simple: YES
