Question

What is the biggest assumption about global warming that just aint so?

and what is the most vulnerable part of the ecological system of earth?

Answer 1

There are quite a few, but the biggest false assumption I believe is that mankind is either responsible, or could have any impact on global climate change.

I honestly do not know what the most vulnerable part of the ecological system of earth might be, unless you consider humans as part of the ecological system.

Otherwise, drinking water can be polluted in regions by human abuse, but this would not be anything more than a local issue.

Answer 2

That it's a natural cycle.

The oceans.

Answer 3

that us humans are causing it, oh and cows , and the polar bears are dying , i could go on and on

Answer 4

I can't stay quiet any longer about the politics of this land.  I have been contacting my senators and congressman about a couple of issues, and they were very glad to hear from me.  Here are the 2 issues:



1.  The senate is voting soon on the Supplemental Spending Bill for the Iraq War, and Diane Feinstein put in an amendment to grant amnesty to 1 million ILLEGAL immigrants because the produce is not getting picked in time.  Our economy is in so much trouble, and there are lots of LEGAL citizens that need the money and would be willing to work in agriculture.  There are plenty of youth that need good, hard-working jobs to earn them the money they need for college, cars, etc.  Feinstein's amendment is very inappropriate.  Once you start the amnesty policy, there will be no end.  I just saw a presentation on how excessive immigration will undo our country in many ways...too far to mention.



2.  Our country has lots of oil reserves in many states and out in the surrounding oceans.  We have the technology to drill for it in a responsible way to conserve the environment.  The Dakotas, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah have oil shale that can be successfully developed for oil, and the Energy Policy of 2005 directed the BLM to lease these lands to those willing to develop the shale oil.  Now a moratorium was imposed as part of the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2008 to NOT allow the BLM to lease land for shale oil development.



It is my opinion that we should be calling our representatives and letting them know we will not vote for them if they don't allow us to glean our own oil resources in our own land and help our own people and our economy.  To go begging to Saudi Arabia for more oil is humiliating and unnecessary.  This is the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the world to take our money by the billions and give it to countries that are not friendly to us and then prohibit our own people from providing for themselves.



I have sent this out to many in different states.  If we each do our part, and spread the word, something can be done about this situation.  We the people are still in charge if we will take the responsibility.  I had a very good experience calling my representatives, both Republican and Democrat.  Their phone numbers were in the phone directory.  



Thanks for reading, and I hope you will take action.

Answer 5

That CO2 is driving the rise in temperatures.

Answer 6

The biggest assumption that isn't so is that it is man-made. The most vulnerable part of the ecological system of the Earth is its dependency on the Sun and its "greenhouse" gas for life to exist.

Answer 7

For anyone that thinks that global warming is a good idea, it is, for the earth at least. The earth has regulatory cycles, every time too much CO2 and other gasses are released into the atmosphere it becomes unstable and kills a lot of the life on it. This returns carbon to the ground in the form of the dead bodies of animals and plants and the concentration of it in the atmosphere is decreased.

Unfortunately it sucks to be one of the species on earth during this time (like we are) as really bad things start to happen. We are only beginning to speculate about what these could be however they can include an ice age for Europe, the melting of the ice caps and more dangerous storms, just to name a few. So with the ocean currents shut down and Europe freezes you can still be here saying how it is a good thing because there will be more water to drink or you can finally admit that it may be bad for humans.

The main misconception is that it will be bad for the planet, it won't be. It will be bad for most of the life on the planet, but not for the planet. That is the biggest assumption about global warming; that we need to "save the planet", put simply we don't, we need to save ourselves from a planet that is trying to kill us.

Answer 8

Where were all you bloody global warming deniers were when i was battling against the the believers? I swear its a tough job finding you lot. I don't believe in it and the biggest assumption is that polar bears will die if tempretures incresae slgihtly and well many times in history when it has been much warmer then today and the polar bears have survived through them fine as i recall

Answer 9

That ones think that humans cause it.

Answer 10

That "Clean Coal" will fix it.

clean coal produces just as much CO2 as dirty coal.

Answer 11

That it is real!!!!!!!!!!!

The atmosphere is what allows life to exist here, without it there will be nothing.

Answer 12

That we can get more than 5% of the world to care.

Water that we drink.

Answer 13

That it will ruin the earth

We are the most vulnerable.

Answer 14

That it's no big deal and we won't have to deal with it.

What's most vulnerable?  That's a tough one because everything is interrelated.  Lately I've been thinking that the climate hasn't gone haywire yet because the ice is still melting.

Maybe it's the ice.

Answer 15

CO2 does not cause climate change, Al Gore does not lie.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xdi2nvtyrxu.....

Man is the most vulnerable.

Answer 16

That the government propaganda and their "solutions" for this...problem...are in our best interests?

Answer 17

That Al Gore knows what he talking about!  We can argue about the merits of global warming, but that Gore has a clue is a joke.

The Oceans are the most vulnerable.
