Which is more motivating to you to end global warming: Negative pictures, or positive pictures?

Question

Would you be more motivated to take action against global warming if you saw a negative picture of what will happen if we don't act, or a positive picture of what will happen if we do?

Answer 1

A picture of someone shooting global warming in the head would work.

We need to kill global warming so we'll have much colder weather and lots more snow and ice for the polar bears to play in.  Then with snow everywhere, the polar bears would be in your back yard playing and eating your pets and children.

Wouldn't that be wonderful ?

Answer 2

Neither,its all a campaign of propaganda that you would be using,much as an advertiser would sell a product,whether it was good or bad,its still just a sale of goods.And in trying this,you are also using politics,to push an agenda.This is what the inconvenient truth is all about,politics and not the earth.

Answer 3

I think that's depending where you want do the campaign.

Answer 4

I think if you wanna instill fear then negative. I don't think that's the nicest way of going into it though. I'd say positive will take you farther.

Answer 5

Neither, because there is no global warming. I read the other day they now think we are in a global cooling. Before the big flood the whole earth was a warm and even temperture.

Answer 6

A positive picture of someone constantly hitting you over the head with a baby owl

Answer 7

Global warming is part of a natural cycle of warming and COOLING that has repeated itself countless times over the millenia.  Man will not 'stop' it, though there are plenty of crooked opportunists out there who want you to believe that we can so that THEY can make big $$$$!!  Many governments are going along with it due to the potential for VAST amounts of 'green taxes'!!

Answer 8

you need a balance of both,

negative to scare people into action.

positive to show people change is possible.

and to the person above me NO scientists are saying we are entering global cooling unless you include the expected period in about 10 million years. (soon in a geological sense)

Answer 9

Negative...I think scaring people with pictures of what can happen if nothing is done is effective...

Answer 10

I think negative, it scares people into wanting to do something about it.  However the positive will show people that you can make a difference.

To the guy above... the news had said that for the first time in four years the sea ice was starting to freeze again.  That's it.

Answer 11

I would be motivated by either. On the good side you could show the economic benefits, and people saving allot of money, and on the negative side you could show war, poverty,pollution, people up in arms, and death.

Answer 12

I know what motivates global warming fanatics... Money, money, money, money and more money...  See, when Algore promised billions of dollars in research money to prove global warming....  That's all it took, these scientists came out of the woodwork and automatically said, "It's proven."

Give a scientist a living wage and he will give you knowledge.  Give a scientist wealth and he will give you whatever you want.

Answer 13

thats impossible unless your an artist with a lot of imagination,  since the first photograph was taken 180 years ago & the temperature is the same now as it was then within plus or minus 1 degree & no one can predict the future much less photograph it.

Answer 14

It's over allready we did it yeah!!!!!!

Answer 15

Neither it is mostly a myth. I don't believe in the Easter bunny either.
