Question

And if you could post the link to the website where you fond the info, it would be great!!

Answer 1

There is no such thing as global warming. Besides, I thought polar bears like to swim for hours at a time.

Answer 2

NOTHING

Answer 3

Making Al Gore rich.

Answer 4

The same thing it was doing a thousand years ago.

Answer 5

Global warming is not just for our kids and grandkids to deal with. Climate change is here. A decade ago, it was debatable. Now the future is unfolding before our eyes.

Climate change is evident worldwide: in melting Artic Sea ice[1], world-wide glacial retreat[2], Antarctica snowmelt[3][4], changing ocean currents[5], changing ocean chemistry[6][7], spread of tropical disease[8], altered patterns of agriculture[9], sea level rise[10][11], etc...

Answer 6

It's increasing the Arctic sea ice:

Arctic Sea Ice Sees 'Significant Increase' in Size Following 'Extreme Cold'

Thomas Lifson

The ultraliberal CBC reports a truth that is mighty inconvenient for Al Gore.

There's an upside to the extreme cold temperatures northern Canadians have endured in the last few weeks: scientists say it's been helping winter sea ice grow across the Arctic, where the ice shrank to record-low levels last year. Temperatures have stayed well in the -30s C and -40s C range since late January throughout the North, with the mercury dipping past -50 C in some areas. Satellite images are showing that the cold spell is helping the sea ice expand in coverage by about 2 million square kilometres, compared to the average winter coverage in the previous three years. "It's nice to know that the ice is recovering," Josefino Comiso, a senior research scientist with the Cryospheric Sciences Branch of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland, told CBC News on Thursday. [...] Winter sea ice could keep expanding. The cold is also making the ice thicker in some areas, compared to recorded thicknesses last year, Lagnis added. "The ice is about 10 to 20 centimetres thicker than last year, so that's a significant increase," he said. If temperatures remain cold this winter, Langis said winter sea ice coverage will continue to expand.

Will somebody please tell all the schoolchildren frightened by nightmares of drowning polar bears that Al Gore unnecessarily scared them?"

Answer 7

lots'a freakin' stuff..

Answer 8

Killing it slowly

Answer 9

everything. its making a majority or animal species extinct, the air is becoming very polluted in different areas of the world where you can't ever breathe you would have to wear a mask over your nose and mouth just to walk outside. antartica is basically turning into a sea instead of ice because it keeps getting warmer and warmer and the animals there are dying because they cant adapt fast enough. think about the land animals there, they obiviously live on the land but as the ice melt it becomes just water, where are they going to go? and like the jungle, trees are getting cut down and that it the most important thing the animals that live there depend on. things like that. its good that your asking because people really need to get informed about these things and know that its going to keep getting worse at a rapid pace if we dont do anything about it its going to affect us humans soon too if something is not done.

Answer 10

The record tornadoes and damage due to strong winds, flooding, draughts, record high and low temps, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and rapid changes in croplands are all observable effects of global warming that scientists predicted in the 1980's.

Answer 11

Nothing that it hasn't been doing for many many years. For God's sake its not ruining the earth.

Answer 12

Global warming is not a problem right now. Records show that this kind of thing always happens. All those we r all gunna die thearys are c**p. Just dont worry about it.

Answer 13

-apparently it's making our kids drink CO2 injected water. The evil global warming monster is apparently creating soft drinks like coke and sprite and forcing them on our poor, defenceless children. The scoundrels!

Answer 14

For the people who think Tornados are caused by gw.... A tornado is formed when cold and warm fronts meet/collide. If everything was just hot, as gw alarmists would have you believe, there would be NO tornados or storms! It would simply be hot! The weather in the US right now is caused because we have everything... hot, cold, wet and dry weather patterns coming together.
