What is Global Warming and how do we help with it. And is ther much we can do?

Question

Please don't answer if you don't know.

I want to know what we can do if there is much, because im worried bout my children and stuff. I aint got any but will do soon.

I've heard a lot about it but never been explained to me properly.

Thank you.

Answer 3

I think i believe in Barry Z

Answer 4

If you listen to Bob Barr and alot of the Right Wing Wacko Radio Hosts, (Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, and of course Rush) Global Warming is a big lie.

Answer 5

if you are genuinely really worried, then i suggest that you prepare for whatever may happen. The debate on whether climate change is caused by man or not and whether anything major is going to happen or not could go on and on and on without reaching a true conclusion, and something major could happen while they're still arguing about it, and to be honest man still has not been able to accurately predict mother nature so far. In my opinion the best way to prepare is to watch all natural disaster films you can find, to see what can happen, how and what is best to do in those situations, also do some research on natural disasters, what happens is certain areas, what has happen in the past where you live. Are you living in an area that is near a fault line, a volcano, near the coast (nobody saw the 2004 tsunami coming), also if the little ice age comes back do you live in an area that would be affected. look at some survival websites. Personally i live in the south of england, 20 miles from the sea, i'd love to move to scotland but i fear, due to the suns ongoing inactivity, that global cooling may be on the way, so thats what i will be preparing for. you should also watch 'Earth story' and 'Life after people' to show you what mother nature is capable of.

Answer 6

a lot of panic over nothing

Answer 7

Global Warming is a phenomenon that we can see the last decades. Ice in North and South Pole is melting, temperatures are higher... If we don't do anything in some years the temperatures will be so high, that we won 't be able to live. What we can do is using other sources of energy, not diesel, and don 't use so much electricity. The governments should use machines that clean the factories' fuels

Answer 8

I have started commuting 2 miles to an electric train that I ride for 27 minutes then get off and ride the bike 10 miles to work. Better for me, better for you. Cuts terrorist's budgets. I have a smile on my face when I get to work.

Sure I have three kids too and cannot stop driving either. I can get the most fuel efficient vehicle that will carry us and fit my budget. We can't all drive a Prius, but none of us has to drive an Excursion.

I live in Texas and life here would not be possible without AC either. I can use Green Mountain energy. I can't

Other than that you can only demand products that reduce you CO2 emissions.

I can sail for recreation instead of use a motor boat. That is more fun too.

I can take my vacation in an automobile instead of a plane.

The big savings has to come from power companies and cars using new technology that is not ready yet.

Don't let people tell you that it is not proven. Scientific proof would require having at least a small collection of earths and a double blind study. Not going to happen. But the theory of relativity is not proven either. Most things that we know from science are never proven, so if you wait for proof  you will wind up waiting until all life on the planet is destroyed.

Answer 9

its da gradual heating of the earths atmosphere due to the ozone layer depleting. n its also caused by deforestation, (wen pple cut dwn trees)leading 2 carbon dioxide levels rising and causing the earth 2 warm up

Answer 10

Certain exhaust gases such as Cardon dioxide and methane reflect trap reflect sunlight back towards the earth, that would otherwise have escape back into space.  This additional sunlight causes the earth to heat up.

There are two things we can do to reduce the greenhouse effect.

i) Reduce gas emmissions.  

a)  Energy efficiency measures.  Better technology, insultation, timing devices, recycling, reduce packaging  etc.

b) Switching to alternative energy sources.  Wind, wave, solar and geothermal power.

c) Reducing energy using activity.   Reducing travel. Localising industry, human tranport. Public transport. Not using throwaway products. Stop wasting food. Using a jumper rather than turning the heating on.  Obeying the speed limit. Most drivers could dramatically reduce their fuel consumption by driving in a relaxed manner.  

d) Changes in agriculture.  For example we know it is possible to reduce the significant methane production of cattle and sheep.  

e) Population control.  Politicians are frightened to confront this issue, but it had to be done. There is a limit to what population the earth can support and we need to be serious about it.

f) Education and poverty.  Simple technology and education can reduce a lot of waste and damage in poor communities across the world.

g) Vegitarianism???????  Veggies claim that meat production is more harmful than other agriculture.  The evidence presented for this is always  bogus.  I have never seen a fair staistical comparison nor I guess am I ever likely to.  Much Meat production uses land unsuitable for crops for example.  There may be a legitimate argument for a reduction in livestock, but  I would like to see proper justification for it.

h) Bio fuel.  Some bio-fuels such as chicken manure, and used cooking oil are non-controversial. However when land is used specifically for producing bio-fuel then there are other complications. Cutting down forest to grow bio-fuel is bad for the environment and switching from arable to fuel crops means food shortages.  

ii) Absorption of greenhouse gasses.

a) Afforestation and reducing deforestation.

Forests soak up a lot of carbon dioxide. Planting forests and preventing further deforestation is a really import part of a sustainable climate.  Forests  effect soil quality, water quality  and local weather conditons. They also protect from flooding.

b) Carbon capture.  For example Carbon dioxide can be pumped to the bottom of the ocean where it would become trapped, because of the temperature and pressure at the ocean bed.  the pumping can be done using wind, wave or solar energy, as appropriate.  There are a number of other suggestions for carbon capture, but the ocean bed offers the biggest opportunity in my opinion. Carbon dioxide can be reacted with naturally occuring metal oxides to form minerals. I am not convinced this is a practical large scale option.

c) Re-use.  CO2 can potentially be used in industrial processes. Including being recycled into fuel using sunlight.

Answer 11

Simple explanation, carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas.  Mankind produces a lot of CO2 by doing things like burning fossil fuels.  This is expected to lead to a global climate change, which will cause a rise in sea level and other major problems.

Here is a good list of ideas for reducing CO2 emissions, and saving some money too...

Answer 12

Barry and 411 have it right.  Climate change on earth is a naturally occurring phenomenom.

Answer 13

well global warming is "global(globe)

warming(more heat). we CAN and we MUST do something about it. first you need to realize we we should be doing something becasue this will fuel your passion to save the envirnment and then research for things that will help the environment even with simple things (3Rs reuse reduce recycle) or save energy etc. UNFORTUNATELY scientists have predicted that we don't have more time AND SO we should double our time saving the planet MORE(MOST)UNFORTUNATELY most people are still ignoring the fact of these scenriaos(GW deniers) if business as usual will still continue. i suggest you start watching movies related to these (an inconvenient truth, the 11th hour, the story of stuff, climate camp,)

Answer 14

Global Warming is natures way of recycling the planet.  

Notice:  Every thousand years: Ice ages

hundred years: temperature changes

We have only been recording weather for a short time... hundred years.

I wrote a speech on it...

http://www.freewebs.com/taylorcoxproduct...

Extract:

glasses that have foggy lenses of deception regarding global warming.  In the next couple of minutes I intend to show you a more accurate eye chart and update your prescription.

A. My point for this response is to try and persuade you to see the light at the end of the dirty tunnel of humanities’ lies.

II.  Global Warming is the most debatable topic that was probably ever around.  You need to know this information.  If you don’t educate yourself properly on this topic you will live the rest of your life in fear of something that doesn’t exist.

A.  Global Warming is a natural cycle.  Everything about it is natural.  Carbon dioxide levels vary throughout time.  Humans can make little or no impact on the environment.

1.  In reality….  There is about one person who doesn’t believe in Global Warming to two people who do.  This means that only 60% of the world believes in global warming.  My goal by the end of this response is to have the 60% be persuaded that they do not believe in the accurate thing.  With the following facts, I am 100% sure that this goal is possible and will be achieved.

2.  Al Gore stated this quote in his movie “…The 10 hottest years ever recorded were within 15 years of today.”  Now this point is valid and true, but we have not been measuring the temperature or anything since the early nineteen hundreds.  Can we go down and see how the polar ice caps were doing in the early 1800’s?  We can not do that because temperature was not recorded.  You may say that they guessed using carbon dioxide levels, but whose to say that they are right?  I heard that scientific measures were not always accurate because they took a hundred year old log and did some carbon 14 testing on it.  Scientists thought that it was thousands of years old.  It was later proved to be younger after more tests were ran.  Who’s to say that our method of discovering weather is right?   We have been measuring temperature for only a short period of time.  Earth right now is in a heating process.  Thousands of years ago we were cooling which is when we had an Ice Age.  Now we are doing the opposite and are starting to warm up before cooling again. Look at this political cartoon.  What is one thing that you notice?  I notice it being freezing then gradually getting warmer. As my next point is about to prove, we have no effect on the environment no matter what we do.

3.  In 1990 a volcano in the Philippines erupted violently.  It was by far one of the biggest explosions of the century.  We all have read about how volcanoes let off carbon dioxide, but did you know this… When the volcano erupted, it put more carbon dioxide in the air than all of humanity has ever produced…. More than humans have made since the creation of time.  All in just a matter of hours. Look at this picture (not included).  See all of this carbon dioxide being put into the air?  While, with all of this there was no temperature increase or decrease at all… just some carbon dioxide level changes, but nothing major.  If volcanoes put off this much carbon dioxide with no effect, then how could we be doing this?  When all this happened, then how could you be persuaded that humans who produce fractions of that amount could impact the environment in fractions of the time?  Humans if we tried could not severely impact the environment.  It is just too big.  Even if we are letting some off, plants and other natural recyclers of Carbon Dioxide are just transforming them to oxygen.

4.  During World War II, we dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan.  We spilled tons of harmful green house gasses into Mother Nature.  This includes radiation, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide.  After all of that happened, again there was no effect to the environment that was found.  Hiroshima has been having radiation problems still, but there is no significant temperature problem.  Nothing humans do can severely change our environment.  We only occupy about 50% of the globe.  The other 50% is the ocean, ice caps, and land that are not suitable for humans.  How could two nuclear bombs not have an impact on the environment, but changing a light bulb in your house to fluorescent can save the environment?  It is just impossible that we could have an impact.    

5.  Another point is that if you look in your text book, I promise you that you will find these words… “When Washington was marching his troops, it was bitterly cold outside” Bitterly cold means freezing.  I know that they didn’t have supplies but Virginia in the summer (which is when they fought) is warm.  As you can see by these charts, it was 106 degrees outside in the summer.  This is without humidity too.  Now when we look at this chart it shows us that the battle was fought in Yorktown.  There isn‘t much of a distance between Yorktown and Richmond, were this was recorded.  How was it bitterly cold a few hundred years ago when now it is normal?  The conclusion is that it is a natural cycle.  The cycle changes every several hundred years.  It was cold then, and now it is slowly warming up.  We have nothing to do with it.  This is perfectly natural for our environment to do.  We would like to believe that humans are the dominate species.  Have we ever thought to wonder if what we believe in is caused by nature?

6.  One of the most important factual information is still on our planet.  Greenland is one of the most misunderstood places around.  People like to believe that the reason that it got it’s name is because the settlers didn’t want people to move there so they called an icy land Greenland so that settlers would move their instead of Iceland were it really was green..  After I saw a show on the discovery channel,  I concluded that it was actually green.  When the first settlers went there,  they dined on grapes and cows.  I don’t think that I am mistaken, but how could a cow live on an icy land with nobody to feed it.  Grapes grow in warm environments which is not ice.  Greenland fits that exact description.  Also as you can see on this picture, there is still some green left in it.  All of it was green once, which proves that it once was green and now it is ice because of the natural cycle, it is starting to freeze.  Now Greenland is melting to start the process all over again.  In a few hundred years, Greenland will begin to freeze.

NOTE TO READER: FOR POINT 67-8 IT MAKES NO SENCE UNLESS POWERPOINT IS VISIBLE… THANKS!

7.  Ok…  Phoenix is known as a hot dry desert place.  You think that it keeps getting hotter and hotter here each summer.  Take a look at this display on the screens.  As you can see, during the day the sun is radiating energy to a large city… lets call it Phoenix.  It does this all day until the sun starts to go down.  As you can see now,  the buildings are built up with radiation while the desert area barely got any radiation build up.  Now it is night and as you can see the buildings are radiating heat forming a heat bubble.  Now in Phoenix at night it is around 95 degrees.  That is because of the buildings radiating.  We are made of concrete and steel so we absorb heat.  Take a look over at the desert.  See how the temperature there is lower?  This is because it is not trapped in the heat bubble of radiation.

8.Many people relate global warming with long citywide droughts.  Like in Phoenix, we are in a drought.  There are many reasons why this is not caused by us. Have you ever watched the news and heard the following phrase “… and people of Chandler are getting pelted by rain, many individuals are putting up sand bags to protect their homes…?”  What this is saying is that small little cities are getting poured on.  Look at the power point and see why,  The big glob in the center is called Phoenix, Glendale, and Peoria.  Ok now imagine that we are in the middle of a storm.  The red indicates heavy rain and the yellow indicates moderate rain.  As you can see from this animation that I made,  the storm is going around Phoenix.  We are a giant blob and the storm is just simply avoiding us.  Smaller cities like Chandler and Mesa are being pelted by this continuous down pour.  So in smaller cities they may say, “We got rained on the most we ever have” and the airport were they measure the amount of rain says there were only a few drops of rain.  This proves that we did not cause the drought by carbon dioxide, but we did it by industrializing.  

9.  Global Warming is also just a political trap.  Who are the only ones who want to try and do something about global warming besides tree huggers?  Politicians do.  When somebody is running for office this makes a better point, I am going to save the world!  Who would you rather vote for… Mr. Free Dental Insurance or Mr. I am Going To Save The Planet From Destruction!  The choice is pretty clear.  Which, that was Al Gore’s main election motto.  They want you to vote for them do they are scamming you.  Al Gore doesn’t believe in global warming himself!  When he was running for elections, he rented private jets which emit 800 pounds of CO2 per passenger instead of commercial for 88 pounds of CO2 per passenger.  He didn’t even own a private jet either; he flew this way for 20 trips.  If he would have flown on a commercial plane he would have saved 14240 pounds from the environment.

III.  Global Warming is all natural.  We do not have an effect on it.  If we tried there is nothing that we could do that would impact our society.

1.  We have nothing to do with what is going on in the world.  There is no reason that just because our planet is wa

Answer 15

Its the increase of CO2 (the gas) entering the atmosphere.

The CO2 helps to trap the suns heat in the earth and its atmosphere, in the same way that a green house works.

CO2 is released from burning fossil fuels e.g. coal, gas, petrol, diesel.

We can help by reducing our use of fossil fuels.

Use less petrol, less diesel, less gas and less coal.

If you use wind generators to generate electricity, in place of a coal fired power station, less CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere.

If you switch off lights, turn down your heating, drive less, you will help to reduce the CO2 emissions you contribute to.

Look at http://actonco2.direct.gov.uk/index.html for lots of info

Answer 16

I agree with Barry.  There was also a time when the River Thames froze over and people could skate on it.

I do think we are using up our natural resources too quickly, but with the increasing standard of living across the world, this is difficult.  Economising is the only way.

When politicians such as Gordon Brown try to seize the initiative by wanting a ban on plastic bags, yet he continues to jet around the world on mostly totally unnecessary journeys you know he is talking rubbish (excuse the pun).

There is a debate going on at the site below, and it would be more to Brown's credit if he focused on serious issues such as the ones on this site.

Just be sensible, economise and hope that sometime, somewhere a sensible politician will emerge.  Don't hold your breath.

Best wishes.

Answer 17

Its rubbish . Its another government scam.

The world heats and cools during its life .  Did you know the climate used to be so warm in the UK that you could grow grapes and have vineyards.

What happened to global cooling??

Well next time you are out , check the old street names like vine street , vineyard way etc.

There's nothing to worry  about .

Only the lunatics that run the world.

Answer 18

We can use less energy. Using appliances and other things that use less energy like dishwashers, washer machines, light bulbs. We can drive less as well. Turn off lights when we are done using them.

Answer 19

I shouldn,t worry too much, this planet was once a ball of fire. whatever we do, we will never produce so much global warming gas as then. The scam is man made in order too scare us all into a frame of mind where we will actually pay higher taxes in order to, allegedly, defeat this fictitious threat. For example, there is more, not less, ice in the polar regions than there was 40 years ago. It is melting now but will regenerate in years to come. These fluctuations have occurred since the beginning of time and will continue.

Answer 20

It is a global conspiracy led by the EU to tax us more and more. The earths climate heats and cools on a regular cycle and infact last year the climate cooled by 0.6oc!

Answer 21

Global warming is a theory, not proven and is the product of a group of environmental activitists, leftist leaning politicians, and publicity seeking scientists, many of whom are perjuring themselves at the insistence of a few outspoken anti-human progress people.  Their arguments have been repeated so often and the evidence is so pitifully small, that their theory is correct, that it borders on the ridiculous.  Yahoo UK court case on Al Gores movie, and the inaccuracies that were demonstrated in a court of law. They do make a BIG difference.  Do not accept others word for it, research this yourself-here is a hint, the statement that the vast majority of scientists believe this is correct is a lie.

Answer 22

By the Rate the "FREEMASONS" (No Free No Masons)destroy our Plane we run out of Oxygen in just a few years from NOW.

Who is the NWO?

Why a New World Order?

Is the Old World not good enough to live in?

Well it should better be!

It is a very simple calculation!

We cut Trees ==> we decrease OXYGEN production

We burn Fossile Fuel ==> We INCREASE Oxygen demand.

At some stagen it will be like Venus, a RUNNAWAY GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

We MUST STOP it before it is to late.

So Who and Why NWO?

Forget what you think you know because it is all a lie.

Thousands of years misseducation, Lies and Tyranny from the Churches and Slavery from the Aristocrazy.

Who are they, where do they come from?

Well we have to go back and forh in Time.

14.400 Years ago when in our evolution something happened, a sharp rise and 21 December 2012 when the same thing happens again.

I am speaking of the alignement of our solarsystem to the center of the "Multiverse".

By then we will see a wandering planet who Zacharia Stitchin calls "Nibiru".

This Planet has a 3.600 year Rotation Cycle around the Sun.

3.600 = 60x60 (Seconds in an Hour) 360 Degrees 360 Days

That is No Coincidence!

Take a good look at OUR HISTORY.

I is an History of WAR.

It is the HISTORY OF AN INVASION!

THE ORDER OF THE ILLUMINATI!

When you are a "FREEMASON" then most them stop at the third degree, unaware that there exist higher degrees up to the 33rd Degree in two different Paths:

The "YORK RITE" and the "SCOTTISH RITE"

At the 33rd Degree Ritual they are asked: "Do you beleive in Jesus?".

If they answer :YES they hear ==> "Your Journey comes to an end, You completed the circle".

If they answer :NO they hear ==> "There is a Higher Path waiting for you. Are you willing to step above?"

This higher path is called: "THE ORDER OF THE ILLUMINATI"

Contrary to what people think it means, here is a detailed explanation.

ILLUMINATI ==> ILLUMINATE ==> SET ALIGHT ==> SET ON FIRE ==> AQUIRE POWER

THE ORDER OF THE ILLUMINATI ==> THE ONES THAT CAME TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE

And you ONLY get in this club if you have BLUE BLOOD in your Veins.

Get it? Blue Blood, NOT RED!

Whatever it is really blue doesn't matter but it is an indicator of BIG Difference between US and THEM!

They, the "Ruling Class" KILL US, STARVE US, USE US, ENSLAVE US, BETRAY US.

They do everything to make our live miserable and WE PAY FOR IT!

So where does this "BLUE BLOOD" come from?

It is ALIEN ORIGIN, that's for sure!

But how and from which planet?

To understand this you must understand that life exists as energy alone.

Why is that?

Because LIFE IS AN ENERGY.

And it comes from the one place all energy comes from, from the Sun.

All life is a manifestation of this energy in one form and another.

AND LIFE EXISTS ON THE SUN, Life that is PLASMA ENERGY based.

Proof?

If one looks closely at Sunspots one finds that it has an outer "SHELL" of energy and an inside.

It is exacly like an egg in characteristics.

Furthermore it "TAKES ENERGY IN" that is indicated by the cooler temperatures that make a Sunspot appear darker then it's surroundings.

Again we have the characteristics of an Egg that takes the warmth of the sun or the mother to grow.

Sunspots have a 12 Year cicle from No to High Acivity.

This is their incubation Time.

From Fertilization to Birth.

Our Incubation Time is 9 months, others come in all different ranges.

This Twelve Year Cicle is manifested in Astrology and in the Chinese Zodiac.

It is on how much influence they have over us.

They are a HIGH ENERGY BASED LIFE FORM.

We are a LOW ENERGY BASED LIFE FORM.

Now connect the Dots between the ORDER OF THE ILLUMINATI and the SUN.

LUCIFER ==> Latin: "The Light Bearer" another Word for the Sun.

The CULT OF AEON ==> AEON ==> THE SUN

TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE ==> HIGH ENERGY OUTPUT ==> HIGH ENERGY LIFEFORM

FREEMASONS ==> FREE TO ENSLAVE US ==> FREE TO BUILT WALLS AND TEMPLES

SKULL AND BONES ==> PIRATES FREE TO KILL US ==> FREE TO CREATE WAR

WICHCRAFT ==> THE RELIGION OF FREEMASONS AND WICCA ==> IT TEACHES THE USEAGE OF US, "PROFANE GOYIM"

BLOODLINES ==> FOR THEM IMPORANT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT INTERBREED WITH US

ROTSCHILD ==> THE SOURCE OF ALL EVIL

We use only 20% of our menal capacity because we only use one of our senses,

the eyes ==> Hence the "All seeing eye".

Furthermore everything we do is mathematical.

Language is a mathematical concept, so is money, time, everything.

And the FREEMASONS and the ILLUMINATI the ROSECRUTIONS they learn VEDIC MATHEMATICS.

They learn the easy way, the way to use people, "GOYIM"

They learn simpler and learn more because they are richer because they live of us.

THEY ARE NOTHING BUT PARASITES.

THEY NEED TO BE IDENTIFIED AND ELIMINATED, BEFORE THEY DESTROY US!

Answer 23

Global Warming is very very true, it is the CO2 gasses coming from all the waste of the vehicles and making the atmosphere more polluted and harder for us to live in it. The atmosphere's core(which keeps space...well space) will once break and that is why people say the sun will eventually melt the earth and every living thing on earth will die. Their is some stuff we can do to stop global warming like recycling(recycling stops all the gasses from the flames from polluting the air. People are trying to have cars run off of ethanol, but that will soon die faster than people can buy it. They might turn it to water, but that again will soon die out too fast too, so they are trying to go as hard as they can to make cars go to solar power. They are also thinking on taking out all cars forever, but your have to remember of al the people that HAVE to travel for a job, though.....I hope you consider my info

Answer 24

If people can put their eco freakish mindset to the side and be coldy science minded with documented history as a guide, it's people like you that are the targets for the "world is coming to end crowd".  Hope this helps you out. I've done massive amounts of research and all of it is readily available on web searches. Do your own research and keep an open mind on facts vs. agenda driven eco mongers.

Going back 30,000 years.......ok, this is pre-humans walking and being blamed for glomal warming.  Geo thermal activity at the planets core along with cyclic weather patterns combined about every 10,000 years and as result......the ice caps melted to a measurable %, the ocean levels rose to a specific height, the planet's surface temp increased to a specific average over a few hundred of those years, then.......it all recovered back to pre global warming parameters and life came back to what ever a person would refer to as normal.  Humanity can no longer effect global warming as much as they could blow a hole in the o-zone layer. It's scientifically impossible even if we tried.

So, the best mindset is do what you can to not contribute to the air you breath, but don't get bi-polar when your neighbor fires up his BBQ.  Enjoy your day and take a pause and enjoy the lawn mower your neighbor uses to keep their lawn attractive.  

But most of all, pleeeeeeeeeeese don't fall off the deep end and become a sign holding activist with a bull horn on a crusade preaching h**l in damnation for driving your SUV.

Answer 25

Global warming is the human delusion that the earth warms up because of their own carbon dioxide emissions. It can also be described as the hot gas that politicians spew from their mouths every day.

How to help:

1) Run a widespread education campaign on the contradictions of man-made global warming.

2) Take over the church of environmentalism and excommunicate Al Gore.

3) Sue proponents of man-made global warming on account of emotional damages.

4) After forcing a drastic decrease in gas prices, buy a hummer as protest.

5) Elect a sensible leader.
