What do you think about the Global Warming?

Question

the temperature has been getting more and more high throughout these years,so how do u think about the effect of global warming ??

Answer 1

For decades, environmentalism has been the Left's best excuse for increasing government control over our actions in ways both large and small. It's for Mother Earth! It's for the children! It's for the whales!

But until now, the doomsday-scenario environmental scares they've trumped up haven't been large enough to give the sinister prize they want most of all: total control of American politics, economic activity, and even individual behavior.

With global warming, however, greenhouse gasbags can argue that auto emissions in Ohio threaten people in Paris, and that only global government can tackle such problems.

National sovereignty? Democracy?

Forget it: global warming has now brought the Left closer to global government, statism, and the eradication of individual rights than it has ever been before.

Answer 2

The temperature stopped getting higher in 1998.  That was the warmest year.  Then global warming (a totally natural thing, not at all man-made) stopped.  In the last ten years the globe hasn't warmed at all.  It might warm a bit more eventually, or it may begin it's cooling trend.  Nobody knows.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter whether global warming is man made or just a cycle in the earth's history .... it is happening. Between solar processes or natural earth processes such as volcanoes and the ever present forest fires which will be argued to have occurances whether or not mankind were present. It still just doesn't matter how it is happening, it is.

FACT: "Atmospheric levels of CO2 are determined by how much coal, natural gas and oil we burn and how many trees we cut down, as well as by natural processes like plant growth. Atmospheric levels of water vapor, on the other hand, cannot be directly controlled by people; rather, they are determined by temperatures. The warmer the atmosphere, the more water vapor it can hold. As a result, water vapor is part of an amplifying effect. Greenhouse gases like CO2 warm the air, which in turn adds to the stock of water vapor, which in turn traps more heat and accelerates warming."

We have gone past the point of no return unless we can build improvements to assist in reflecting light away from the earth.

First you have to understand how long the earth has been storing up the fossil fuels. The coal, oil and natural gas that we are using now are products of the earth converting plants and animals into their present forms over (often) millions of years. They have been stored now for millions of years without being used until now. By being used now, we are converting these fuels from stored carbon, into released carbon. Thus allowing this released carbon to act as a greenhouse effect gas again.

Since we are talking about a situation where the Earth once had a lot of stored carbon and now that stored carbon is disappearing at a tremendous rate (and will continue into the future) We can be truthful in saying that there is a definite trend, and relationship in the increase of greenhouse gasses. We can also say that these greenhouse gasses would not have been released without the intervention of man. Logically therefore we can say that global warming gasses have been released and any global warming increases are directly attributed to mankind’s releasing them.

The damage done by increased greenhouse emissions has already taken its toll. This is evident by the melting of polar ice and glaciers across the globe. Some will say that there is no such thing as global warming, because there is in their opinion very little change in the average global temperature. However when you take into account the fact that there is less ice, and snow, because of the melting of polar ice and glaciers across the globe. That melted ice, snow and glaciers across the globe will in themselves temporarily lower the overall ocean temperatures untill they all melt. Thereby lowering the average temperatures on the earth. So if you account for that, the temperature can be proven to be increasing.

We cannot get the world back the way it was, even as of fifty years ago, much less stop the damage that will still occur in the future. Sure we could try to stop all industry that will cause pollution, but at what cost. Without industry we could not sustain the present world population. Giving up industry and sacrificing billions of people on this planet in the process, is not a viable solution (even trying to merely lower greenhouse emissions is at best a temporary solution).

The biggest problem we have now is not just the fact that we have more greenhouse gasses trapping heat in, but we are getting less and less sunlight being reflected out from the planet. As the snow cover melts from more and more of the planets surface, the sunlight heats up more parts of the earth that once reflected light back out. It is like a dog chasing its tail (until it gets dizzy and falls from exhaustion). As global warming just keeps building on itself till the ecological balance fails, and this planet will no longer sustain the teeming human populations.

Greenhouse effect cure (there are no real cures but this may help till we can find one). First I want to point out that there are no real, viable short term, or easy methods of curing our Global warming woes. The damage to the environment has already been done and is, for all intent and purposes, basically irreversible. It is likely, however, that any type of plan to get rid of Global warming, will require some type of dramatic ecological compromises.

Some will say that all we need to do is give up industry on the planet and the world will eventually go back to the way it was. I say it is too late for that solution (as a short term solution anyway).

My plan, however, will require the use of old tires and recycled plastics. Of course it will require some engineering feats also, and a few ecological compromises. The benefits of using these wasted products will far outweigh the compromises required.

My idea is to build large floating islands (white on top, to reflect sunlight back out of our planet) made from used tires (filled with co2) and recycled plastics. Yes there are engineering and ecological problems, but everyone has to admit there are worse problems in our current situation. So the only feasible solution is to build a bunch of artificial reflection "islands" across the planet.

We can also try to get more people to use reflecting surfaces on buildings (which will be as difficult to do, as no one likes to have to do things exactly the same as everyone else).

There will be other benefits realized, once we build enough of these islands. One of the problems associated with the increased temperatures we are experiencing is the possibility of increased hurricane intensity and frequency. Having enough of these floating islands in strategic points in the oceans will help to alleviate this problem also. It is a well known fact that hurricanes form in areas of the ocean where the temperature rises above approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If we can keep those areas below that temperature (by reflecting sunlight away), we can prevent the formation of hurricanes. Without these floating islands, hurricanes will probably continue to increase in intensity and frequency…

We need a solution to deal with our Global warming woes, and we need it now. Even if this is a difficult path to follow, it will pay off in the future. The overall problems I see for Greenhouse effect is that we can go green all we want, but Global warming and our constant desire to be comfortable, will eventually undermine any efforts we may do. Unless we can get rid of some of the excess heat in this world, we will always be under the eventual threat of a thermal overheating demise.

Answer 4

millions of years ago, our planet have 500x more CO2 in the atmosphere, and temperature that time, as some experts say, is a scorching 70 degrees Celsius or more. and what nature did is, it piles the CO2 under the ground as deposits aka black gold and we are extracting it as much as we can to sustain global economy and most people don't care about this d**n issue, now, we are experiencing the change on global climate. I lived on a tropical country and i can feel the change on climate, back home, there's a small area of tropical rain forest as i climb up there, i can feel the coolness of the air but, the moment i step out of it, it seems like im fried by the heat of the air alone.

Answer 5

All you supposedly know is temps are rising. Scientists have shown through out the world, they have been plateauing since 1998 and went down world wide 1/2 a degree in 2007 due to less sun spot activity. So much for the "global warming". Some of the enviro -whachols (that I call them) are now saying that global warming might be put on hold for 10 years. How convenient. I thought CO 2 was the culprit causing high temps, and in a controlled laboratory it does, but the world isn't a lab and not all things are equal. Seems anything that happens in the world causes a chain reaction and the world takes care of the problem itself.

Meanwhile people tout decreasing polar ice caps.......oh..did they neglect to mention the volcanos under the ice caps ? Everything has been politicized with lies, mis-information and agenda driven ideology.

Science was never meant to be politized, it was about finding the truth, and we can't do that until we start kicking these idiots to the curb and forcing them to prove their work or we won't buy what they are selling.

Answer 6

Global warming because of human interaction is false.  We four hundred years ago we were experience a small ice age.  We have yet to get back to the temperatures that were experienced before that time, but we are inching our way up.  Greenhouse gas global warming was made up by liberal masses as a causes to save the planet or be doomed.  They are trying to scam people as much as poss1ible until it can be proven 20 years from now that carbon emissions have nothing to do with extreme global warming.

Answer 7

ell first of all global warming or global climate change, is a completely natural cycle that the earth relatively goes through. For example the Sahara Dessert used to be a vast with lush vegetation. Also the greenhouse effect is completely natural and is much needed, for it keeps the earth in a stable state and it protects us from the extremes of space. So what is all the fuss about? Here it is, about a century ago humans discovered a widely available fuel source that was far superior to anything we have ever used before and it was extremely profitable and cheap. This began the modern industrial age! All of sudden humans began to spew out mass amounts of greenhouse gases at an unprecedented rate, much faster than the earth could cleanse itself of them, during one of those natural warming periods that skeptics and deniers are always referring to. As time went on the quantity of greenhouse gases only continued to increase, sharply. This happens because greenhouse gases do not easily irradiate out of our atmosphere but instead they linger (we are still breathing the emissions first emitted by the first Model T’s) and in turn those gases trap more heat and radiation emitted by the sun raising the earth’s temperature. So why is that such a problem if the earth’s temperature goes up by a few degrees? Well the earth’s climate systems are very fragile so that the slightest change could alter the climate zone and weather systems. Therefore we ARE having an effect on the climate accelerating all of the natural causes of global climate change (i.e. global warming) which isn’t a good thing for obvious reasons. To discover these reasons turn on your TV. or get online and pay attention to what is going on over the entire world! Also don’t listen to people who say “there’s no possible way we can have an effect on the environment”, because they are completely wrong. For example temperatures in urban areas are generally higher and oh yeah WE HAVE A HIGHLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY BASED SOCIETY!! And how did we get here? Threw altering or changing the environment in which we live to suit our needs! So please stop giving that crock of bull about we can’t change our environment you just sound stupid. Also we have the technology (stock-shelved), the money, and the know-how to effectively reduce the progression of global warming to its natural pace. By going green we would also save trillions of dollars, lives, help restore our international standings, secure our international standings in the future, stop supplying our “enemies” and save our only home!
