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 .

and this directly affects humans

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 MANhttp://earthissues.multiply.com/photos/a...

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

So it is safe to assume that we should look at ourselves , ,for possible improvements ,and rectifying Eco errors that are with in our powers.

23.000 people were killed at  Myanmar

http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles...

other disasters have been Happening for a number of year related to climatic changes

recently In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before. Millions of animals died.

In India 3000 people died because of super storms .

.A few years ago in Europe 3500 people,died during a heat wave ,many of them in France .

Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming

. these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing .

The biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,

Many more disasters will follow

Answer 2

It is happening for sure. We do not need scientists or politicians to tell us as most of us have already experienced more weather freaks than our parents and grand parents together.

We can either ignore things until its too late or take actions to reduce or stop climate change. It is people in developing countries that are suffering the most NOW from climate change but maybe we are all too selfish to care!!

Answer 3

bunk. those who are trying to tell you to stop your polluting and that youre a bad american are the same ones who pollute ten times more than you. case in point. it was recently reported that govenor schwartzenegger flies in a personal jet from santa monica to sacremento twice daily.  yes, he travels to work by private jet.  gore has a 10,000 sq ft house, several gas guzzling SUV's and a private jet. yet, they are  big global warming advocates. the politicians and the hollywood left would like you to do what they choose not to do, but preach about ad nauseum.

Answer 4

global warming has happened since life on earth began

surpisingly we are in an ice age now but an ice age is not always cold,

during an ice age there is a period of warming, and cooling

there is a period of cooling about every 10-100 million years, or less depending on the temperature of the ozone.

we are ina period of warming and since the last age of intense cold was 10 000 years or so ago. we will probably not be expecting any cold for a looong time, and we will have become extinct by the time this happens.

the reason the earth is so much warmer now than any other time in human history (4 million years is not much time for heat)

is because of pollution, and gasses that are weakening the ozone layer allowing more sunlight and heat to penetrate our atmosphere.

we will become extinct but the earth will re heal itself =)

Answer 5

We're seeing changes in the climate happening over a matter of a few decades that normally take centuries or even millenia to occur.  The ice sheet over the north pole is a fraction of what it was 20 years ago, and glaciers that have been around for thousands of years are vanishing in just a few decades.  

To believe that changing the composition of the atmosphere by dumping billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere annually, and then destroying the world's primary means of sequestering carbon (our forests) isn't going to alter the climate is downright foolish.  

Unfortunately, global warming has been turned into a political football, with most people believing what their politicians and the mainstream media tell them than actually informing themselves.  The physics of it is pretty simple.  More CO2 = an upward trend in global temperatures.

Answer 6

GLOBAL WARMING is caused by a highly developed technology that man does'nt possess. it seems to be directed at all life forms on earth and in the oceans. In the past we've seen U.F.O.'s all over the world and on caves on many continents their are painted pictures of flying saucers from hundreds of years ago. In the last 50 years people have been captured and given a physical and found that we're to savage for another specie as neighbors.  so to take care of the problem, they have decided to destroy all life on earth and rid the sea of life so their ships can travel underwater like they do in outer space. In the late 1940's or early1950's a band leader built a object and launched it. Its now known as HALEY'S COMET its on a collision course with a invading new specie like the ones on earth. the 2nd. part is between 20 and 22 years from earth on a direct course with earth that NASA is having THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE track to earth. but on a collision course with HALEY'S COMET. but the first part on earth or under the ocean of earth has devises located in different parts of earth that is being used to weaken the forcefield, similiar to the one thats seperating the ozone above earth. only thing is in order to keep the forcefield operational 24 hours a day, there has to be enough to go around earth. you dont know that earth has its own universal god that tells people like myself the facts to protect earth from devastation in advance. http://www.socyberty.com/Activism/First-...   IS what I've been given to help all our people on earth. but your so skeptical that we might not survive, because all you-all want to do is just talk.  so i'll say GOODBYE now just incase your not around later and our natural disasters are being expanded with more devistation from this high technology thats destroying us.

Answer 7

bull c**p

ever think its just a hot season

why do ppl have to add science into everything and putting stupid people's opinion in it too

Answer 8

it's not even REAL.

Answer 9

Global Warming-the emissions or greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the heating of the Earth's average temperature, and therfore causing the meliting of polar icecaps in northern areas, such as greenland, antarctica, and parts of northern canada and Europe, making flooding in southern lower land areas, and causing storms such as: Tsunamis, Hurricains, and tornados to be more common and severe.

That was just my short explanation of global warming, now when about half of you read what I just spent 5 minutes typing, you probably thought to yourself, "That's a bunch of bull" or "She's full of s**t"

I seriously know that by now! and you know what? (people who don't believe global warming) its soon you start smartening up, because soon, and very soon (like in the next 30-40 years) this is going to come hard on us, and the only thing that'll be running through your mind then when you are older is "Oh, I shouldve smartened up, and now are CHILDREN are paying the price"

Now im not forcing you to believe it but I can say now, its not going to interfere in your life to recycle a d**n plastic can, or get out of your gas emitting cars and jog or bike once in a while..............WILL IT!?!

Here's what you can attleast try to do to prevent it:

Recycle, don't pullute or pick up pullution with a group or do it yourself, buy a hybrid car, bike more places, lecture people about it, stop the cutting down of sooo many trees, there's alot more you can do, but this was just a small blurr, and you are axpected to follow it, you dont have to change your whole lifestyle, but attleast are asked to make a small effort.

Now to answer your question more thurraly:

I feel that global warming hurts me, ive always tooken care of the environment, and Ive always lectured people to stop cutting trees down, and hunting so much, I hate how people can be soooo inconsiderate, driving around in their cars all day, and Al Gore ao anyone isn't getting to them at all! People need to wake up!

Thanks,

Answer 10

100% real. the facts show it clearly. The movie "An Inconvient Truth" The book, "The Down to Earth Guide to Global Warming". It's all real.

Answer 11

Real, mostly caused by us.  The proof is much too long for a Yahoo answer - it's in the links.

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.

http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/wg1-report....

summarized at:

http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report...

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

http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/a...

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

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu...

EVERY major scientific organization has issued an official statement that this is real, and mostly caused by us.  The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc.

Answer 12

Global warming is a huge scam.

First, the hottest year on record remains 1998, all years since have been cooler, so for the past decade the earth has been cooling  (of course that record only goes back an infinitesimal fraction of the time earth has been around)

Second, the global warming alarmists saw Hurricane Katrina as a harbinger of more to come, predicting we’d all be wiped out due to “climate change”

Not only was there no deluge of “category 5’s” as predicted, but hurricane activity has dropped to record lows, meaning these people have absolutely NO IDEA what they are talking about.

On that topic, it’s important to note that Al Gore got a “D” in science, and he can sure afford $30K a month in power bills running all the air conditioners at his luxurious compound, so obviously he’s not too worried about HIS excessive power use.  He’ as also amassed a fortune worth hundreds of millions on this scam.

Third, cleaning the air causes global warming, the reduction of particulate matter in the air lets in more heat from the sun, resulting in higher temps.

Lastly, there is no “set temperature” for the earth.  Who is to say if we are too hot or too cold?  Al Gore?  General Electric?  (GE by the way is the worlds largest company and stands to make a fortune off global warming hysteria, both in new power plant orders, energy star appliance scam and solar electric)

The earth is heated by the sun, as the sun warms, so does earth.  If the sun went out tomorrow, we’d all freeze to death, and you could leave a fleet of one million Hummer SUV’s idling all day, and it wouldn’t change a thing.

Answer 13

-Al gore thinks its made by us, which is c**p. Its happened before, with or without people to cause this

    A) Global cooling (Ice age)

    B) Global warming melted the ice

    C) Soon we probably will go into another ice age,

         resulting into another global warming

(Im not sure if there is more than one ice age befor the last one)

Answer 14

I think the government should fund global warming.

To others:

a hot season in Antarctica?

Reasearch has shown the ozone layer (a layer of ozone) has a hole in it. In future years this will cause skin cancer.

Have u seen the article in the NYT about it?

The Earth will be like every other planet- uninhabited- in 7.59 billion years

Enjoy ur life- ur great times 500 grandchildren won't be able to.
