Question

What is your input about Global Warming?

Answer 1

its hot

Answer 2

Even if global warming is a bunch of bull, we should still treat our planet like a temple.

Answer 3

Real, mostly caused by us.  The proof is overwhelming.

This is science and what counts is the data.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)

Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

There's a lot less controversy about this is the real world than there is on Yahoo answers:

And vastly less controversy in the scientific community than you might guess from the few skeptics talked about here:

"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know...  Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point.  You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

Answer 4

As an oil geologist and paleontologist, I take a slightly different view point of climate change. While, in my opinion, the climate is definitely changing, we do not yet have enough data to know which way our climate is going. We really have very little data on which to base an opinion, even with the tree ring climate data going back almost a million years. In my opinion, several hundred years of climate data, or even several thousand years of tree ring data is insignificant in the scope of geologic time.

There is far too much disinformation about "global warming" that has little or no basis in science. The media is willing to disseminate such information because they do not have the background to check into the subject. Our political leaders are willing to talk about a very complex and little understood subject in 60 second sound bites, and the American people seem to be willing to take these sound bites as fact.

In reference to the cost, there will definitely be a price to be paid as the climate changes. It goes far beyond the price of gasoline at the pump or the cost of "going green."

However, in my opinion, there will be a far higher price to be paid because of the declining availability of "cheap oil" otherwise known as "peak oil" in the oil business. This is clearly an energy issue instead of a global warming or global cooling issue.

I recommend two well written books on the subject of energy and oil, since this appears to be the basis of the "global warming" debate.

Beyond Oil, The View from Hubbert's Peak by Kenneth Deffeyes

Twilight in the Desert, Matthew R. Simmons

I think the better question in the "global warming" debate is should we humans become better stewards of our energy and environment. That is a definite yes from me. The way to do that is to become more aware of the way we use and produce energy.

Answer 5

It is so not hot!!!!!

Answer 6

A scam to create more fear and taxation

Answer 7

With reports that Glaciers are now advancing and ice packs thickening up in Antarctica at such a rate that large pieces are breaking off, this whole global warming fiasco hopefully does a turn around before it starts a war.

Answer 8

Global warming is a natural phase of Earth, caused by some Solar Activities by Sun. We human don't have to bother about it. Some of the environmentalist says that this is because of the CO2 we are emitting into the environment, but the reality is that we are just contributing towards 1% to 10% of actual global warming.

If the actual cause of Global Warming is CO2 emitted by the humans then why Global Warming occures on other planets. Just Google for "Global Warming on other planets" and see the results, there are no humans on other planets.

Having too little CO2 in the environment will cause for the plants to die more early, more over it also cools down the temperature on earth.

Having too much CO2 (obiviously, not caused by humans. Mostly generated in the Sea/Oceans) will lead to Green House effect and will lead in increasing the temperature on Earth.

So, the best is to plant more trees so that there would be a balance for the consumption of CO2 on the planet.

I personally think that instead of thinking on this baseless issue try to think on what if Nuclear War broke out in the world, it will destroy Earth more rapidly.

So, next time whenever somebody says you about global warming, just ignore it.

Answer 9

It's the greatest danger humanity has ever faced.  A lot of the coastal land where most people live will be flooded by the rising seas.   Rainfall patterns will change resulting in crop failures and famines, and a lot of us will wind up killing each other over food, fresh water and living space.

Answer 10

It is blown out of proportion

Answer 11

HUMAN EFFECTS & GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is but a component, in a group of destructive forces at work such as ;deforestation,desertification,soil and water contamination ,irresponsible or wasteful utilization of bio resources , air pollution,Non sustainable Agriculture,over pumping carbon aquifers

all concepts which are definitely not part of the Natural Processes of the Natural world

WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR,

The most prolific growth on this planet is part of the day in the mist and most of the time under clouds ,and the least growth is always directly in the sun .

To exchange the one for the other means changing local climates

We are exchanging Nature with Tar , concrete and open spaced mono cultures.

In 300 years half of the planets forests have gone ,and in the last 50 years half of the wet lands ,and rain forests

These Areas absorb heat during the day and release heat at night ,

Cause cloud formation(shade).humidifying the air on the surface as well as releasing excess water at the roots that keep rivers flowing ,which in turn brings more water into the Environment .

As well as contributing to absorbing carbon emissions as do the leaves of the trees together with the oceans .

All in all many factors which directly affect the local Environment .

The loss of the above resulting in rivers drying up ,less rain ,desertification,loss of habitat for many species and so on.

dryer and hotter surface environments which can manifest in different weather patterns such as tornadoes or bush fires

I may be stupid or Naive but somehow i believe that lots of these local environmental changes, can add up to affect global weather, If there are enough of them (and there are)

And then on top of that comes the story of the effects of pollutants released into Nature and especially the Air ,by MAN http://earthissues.multiply.com/photos/a...

A cocktail of events and a lot of the ingredients have MAN written all over them

However

confusion rules the day ,i am beginning to think that SCIENCE HAS BEEN INVADED WITH POLITICS AND HUMAN EMOTIONS

The truth is being distorted at high levels,

And lies have been weaved in.

Some of the real dangers are being hidden because there are no solutions , Public could panic.and Authorities would loose control .

Besides Corporations have other priorities and changes will cause loss of profits ,this also affects the truths being published

Others facts are exaggerated so that the phenomena can be used to milk the people.

This is further complicated with Arrogance that will not admit that mankind could be guilty, or that Gods could be out of control ,unloving or incompetent

But I do not think we can make a real difference anymore to change the tide.

On a Global scale,Humanity is not co operative enough .

The poor regions have other priorities such as daily survival.

There is a lot we can do about being more responsible with what we got ,

In the first world countries many do not care or are more interested in Global Control than Global Warming.
