What will happen because of global warming?

Question

i'm 11 years old?

( and scared )

Answer 1

the awnser to your question is...

WE WILL ALL DIE!!!!

so remember to recycle and not pollute

Answer 2

Believe me, nothing will happen.  When I was your age, do you know what they were telling us in school?  That the world is going to become so cold, that millions of people were going to do.  They were wrong.  Then they were telling us that America and Russia was going to have a nuclear war, and all life on this earth would be destroyed.  They were again wrong.

On the news they do not like to talk about good things, only bad.  Believe me, I have read and heard from hundreds of scientists that say there is  nothing to be afraid about.  Everything is going to be all right.

Answer 3

A great big flood in coastal cities over a period of time.

Answer 4

Nothing you'll notice right away, so stop worrying.  You are not allowed to worry about global warming until you are 18 years old.

Answer 5

The theory of man-made global warming is false, it is based on falsified or incomplete data.  Lets take a look at what the global warming crowd claims, they say that the human output of CO2 is causing the greenhouse effect which is warming the planet.  To see how outrageous this claim is try to guess how much of our atmosphere is made up of CO2, the correct answer is 0.03% of our atmosphere, almost nothing.  How can such a small part of our atmosphere have such an effect on our entire planet, correct answer it can’t.  Greenhouse gases exist naturally and have always been in our atmosphere.  Greenhouse gases such as CH4 (methane), N2O (Nitrous Oxide), and water vapor are all put out into the atmosphere naturally in far greater concentrations than humans could ever match.  Let’s take a look at water vapor, water vapor makes up between 1-4% of the atmosphere far more than CO2.  Water vapor is given off into the atmosphere due to evaporation, so evaporation causes much more global warming than humans ever could.  Other natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and the decomposition of plant and animal matter also put far more greenhouse gases than humans ever could.  

So what is causing global warming?  Well first of all the earth may not even be warming.  http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature...  This is a collection of global temperatures collected by NASA that shows a general cooling trend especially around the polar ice caps.  So assuming the earth is warming what could be causing it, the sun.  Look at this graph also put out by NASA: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/... it shows that the intensity of the sun is directly correlated to global temperatures and recent studies have shown that the sun is now warming than ever before, coincidence? I think not.  Also consider that the other planets in our solar system, Mars in particular, are also warming: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/...

You have to keep in mind that the earth goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling, take for example the ice age and later warming of the earth enough to melt the ice.

Advocates of global warming will try and post evidence but the fact is most evidence for global warming comes in the form of general statements like “think of your children/grandchildren” that try to guilt you into agreeing with them.  These ads are devoid of scientific proof and seek to toy with your conscience.  Every once in a while you will see a graph submitted as evidence mostly from http://www.ipcc.ch/.  Take a look for yourself, I search in vain for proof of global warming on this site, sure there are dozens of graphs showing the same data: CO2 rising along with global temperatures but where are the graphs for other greenhouse gases that make up a greater percentage of our atmosphere and are put out naturally, or graphs showing the percentage of greenhouse gases put out by humans verses the gases put out by natural sources.  These graphs are not included because they disprove the theory of man made global warming.  The IPCC has had a questionable past, it has published a deliberately falsified graph, the so called hockey stick graph, which left out a period of warming during the 1400’s.  This warming period in the 1400’s was more dramatic than what we are seeing today, and it took place long before humans industrialized.  This falsification was proven and a reprint of the graph appeared in the journal Nature.  You may have seen claims that there is a scientific consensus on global warming like this one: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu... this is an absolute lie, do you need proof? Here http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm the signatures of over 17,000 scientists who disagree with the theory of man made global warming (check out the report on this site it does an excellent job of disproving global warming).  You may have also seen reports about ice cores supposedly proving global warming, this is not true.  Here is the truth about ice cores http://www.john-daly.com/zjiceco2.htm.

You may have the question why anyone would support this obviously false theory, the answer is money.  Average people with no scientific background are being converted to the global warming crowd by the dozens due to the repression of evidence against global warming.  This mass of people is the reason why notable people are jumping on the global warming bandwagon.  Politicians are supporting global warming for votes, scientists are joining for media time and grants, and CEO’s are pledging their allegiance to gain customers who want to shop where the environment is being supported.

You may also wonder why I care, you may think we can only help the environment if we agree with global warming what’s wrong with that?  I want to distinguish between global warming and helping the environment.  I have no problem with environmentalist causes, in fact I support them, but global warming is taking this idea to the  extreme.  If you were to follow the guidelines set forth by people like Al Gore your lifestyle would be, these people want to tell you what light bulbs to use.  The main reason however is money, why waste millions on studying global warming when we could be rebuilding third world countries and helping the poor.  Global warming is a fear tactic used to get your money and your vote by unscrupulous members of society.  Hopefully this will just fade away like the global cooling scare which was brought upon us in the 1970’s by the same sort of people using the same tactics.  A last link  http://www.worldclimatereport.com/ possibly the best resource for answering many of the questions raised by global warming.  I urge anyone who believes in man-made global warming to look into some of the resources I have presented.  Do not sacrifice your money, time, vote, and conscience to the greedy members of society who are blinding you to the truth for their own greed.

Answer 6

Paying attention to Global Warming is like insurance. You pay a monthly fee; sure it's annoying and a bit pricey, but it protects you.

Or... you can choose not to have insurance. Then, something bad happens, and you have to deal with expensive repairs, possible lawsuits and an overall very unpleasant ordeal.

Answer 7

The avg. temperature would increase each year and many cities that are closer to the oceans might be below sea level, such as Manhattan.

Answer 8

Don't give these idiots that power over u. There data is false and it doesn't fit. they first thought it was CO2 well that is fine that is there choice but GOD introduced plants that take in CO2 and give us back oxygen . The plants have been recycling our air for millions of years .The plants just like u were put here for a purpose ,chin up be proud u are an American.

Then they thought it is methane well they missed it again . Methane is a very light gas and will go very high in our atmosphere . The environmentalist put out all these figures but how did they measure it?? They didn't they just calculated it for what u wanted the answer to be.

  If u did that in a math test would your teacher say that is ok. These numbers they are putting out needs to be as near absolute as possible. Oh I forgot methane is very explosive and if there is a great lake of methane in our upper atmosphere what would happen if a jet flew through it. I haven't heard of any such explosives.

Keep looking for the truth and study hard so these people can not snow u with this garbage.

Answer 9

study all the effects in earth's history on the naturaly occurring global warming. Then you might disregard the alarmists claims and the medias portrayal of the end of the world.

Answer 10

Nothing, because I'm confident that our brilliant scientists around the world will figure out a way to save our species.

Answer 11

The real answer, based on science (see the reference at the end).

If we do nothing, our coastal cities will start to flood.  First in storms, then all the time.  Drought will damage agriculture.

Rich countries can deal with this, but it will cost them huge sums of money.  The standard of living will go down.

Poor countries can't afford it.  There, many people will die of starvation, but not all.

If we start to work hard on this right now, we can reduce those effects.  Rich countries can stay rich, and the people in poor countries can stay alive.

None of this will happen fast.  Global warming and the job of reducing it will both take years.

I'm not scared of global warming.  We can handle it if we work at it.  But I am worried about people who deny it's happening and want us to do nothing about it.

Answer 12

stay in a rich country and recycle ;)

Answer 13

You have nothing to be scared of.  The earth always goes through warming and cooling cycles, and they never lead to the end of the world.  Studies of ice cores from antarctica and greenland show that temperatures on the earth were warmer than they were now, as recently as 400 years ago, and mankind survived with no problems.

The current warming trend is very small and relatively short and will probably reverse in the near future.  Even if it didn't, it would take hundreds of years before the effects would be harmful to mankind.

Answer 14

Global warming, man-caused, is NOT TRUE.  It is not.  It is a scare tactic.  The planet may be warming, but man is only a tiny part of the equation.

I thought, like you, that what I was being told was a true problem. Then I was watching a debate on the subject.  One young "expert" was energetically putting forth the common cry.  His opponent sat looking off with a bemused expression.  The young "expert" paused for breath and the moderator turned to the rumpled old man.  "Dr. [So&So].  What do you think of that?"  The old man shifted on his chair, then said something that hit me like an electric shock.  

"Anyone," he said, "who thinks that man can affect the overall climate of this earth has never contemplated a volcano!"

That is all he said, but I know that at this time there are over 20 active volcanos on the earth!  All of them spew vast clouds of  gas and ash!  Some of them have come up through coal, oil and gas deposits.  The temperatures produce some extremely toxic emissions in enormous amounts.

This is not a recent thing.  This has been going on for thousands of years.  

And this earth has balanced and cleaned itself and supported life.  It is a marvelous system.  It is more precisely balanced than a race-car's engine.  It has checks and balances.  

If it occurred accidentally then it is the equivalent of taking a trash can full of watch parts, throwing them off the top of a tall building and then going down to the street to find a wrist watch assembled, running and set to the right time!

When you become frightened, just hold up your hand.  Look at it.  It alone is a fabulous model of engineering.  It can handle and feel a hair, yet swing and break a baseball bat.  It repairs itself.  It feeds itself.  The smallest finger is actually the most powerful.  There are such lessons to be learned by just looking at your own hand.  If such a thing exists, and you have two, then it might be that there is more to life than what we see "on the surface".

I can tell you that I KNOW that we are not alone, nor are we uncared for.  This is not conjecture.  I know.  And if I know, then you can know, also.  There are others that know what I know.  You will find if you search.  You will be led to it. I did.  

Don't fear.  Fear has no true base, even though we all struggle with it.  It is false.  Even death itself is just stepping through an open door.  

Voluntarily causing death to another or yourself is very important to avoid.  The organizer of all you see actually knows each of us.  Impossible?  Well, compare yourself to a one month old baby.  You know teachers and roads and houses and teams and airplanes and internet.  The baby doesn't even know these things exist.

Imagine someone who is so much more capable than we are that we are as tiny new-born babies.  Now imagine that that being loves you, that you are important to that person,  just because of you.  Imagine that you are actually a relative of that being, a child of that being.  If all that is true, then you have no need to fear anything except being as true to yourself as you can be.  Because, that is what the "creator person" has said he wants you to be.

Oh.... he wants you to "call home" and talk to him.  He has a lot of things he wants to tell you, since you are now worrying about things. You don't have to go anywhere special.  He knows you and sees you and is not that far away.  Just let your thoughts reach out and ask.  Keep asking.  It may take a while to get your thoughts clear enough to hear the answers.  It is a test to see if you will listen.  He is so gentle that he will not force anyone to do anything they do not want to do.  Even hear his voice when he answers prayers.

Things to ask: Why do bad things happen to good people?  Why do good things happen to bad people?  Are you really there?  Do you know who I am?  

When you feel the warm pouring over you, you are being answered.  Then listen for the "small, still, quiet voice".

Once you know how to do that, you can get the answer to anything.  Not MY answer or someone else's answer, but YOUR answer and you will be sure and happy and peaceful, even when the world is going crazy around you.  Hope that helps.  I am an old man and I am not scared and I know that you don't need to be scared, either.  Do your best all the time.  Do the right thing, as you can figure it to be right.  Don't cheat.  It hurts your ability to know what is right later on.  Face anything choosing the right and be as kind as you can to everyone.  That does not mean that you let someone be unkind to you.  They need to know that they are hurting you.  Then, if they go ahead, it is their decision and --remember--this world is balanced.  Feel very sorry for them, because being unkind brings unhappiness and no one wants to be unhappy.  They will be unhappy.  It is the reward for hurting others.

Answer 15

Don't be to be too afraid, nobody knows if Global warming is man made or natural,  the changes will be gradual, not all dramatic as the media portrays. Don't let it worry you though, you concentrate on your 11 your old problems and don't let things like this freak you out, control the things you can control in your life like your school life etc etc etc. And have the wisdom to know the things you cannot change. Asking this question at your age though is very mature and admirable. Just don't let it effect your life. Wayyy back when I was your age I used to worry myself sick about nuclear war with the then USSR. There is no point in worrying yourself over things you have no control over. Enjoy life and do the best you can to be a part of the solution and not the problem
