Who's fault is Global Warming?

Question

Who's fault is Global Warming?

Answer 1

'Who' as in nation? Well the human race excluding small tribes of Africa and Australia, are all causing global warming. But in terms of what countries or continents are leaders in causing global warming - it would technically be Europe and the USA

Answer 2

Lol. Most people are going to blame it on us Americans. However, I don't think that it's any ones fault. I think that it's just natural climate changes that have been going on since the formation of the earth. We just notice it more here recently, because we have had advances in technology that will tell us when there is the slightest change in temperature. Yeah, Global warming is real but there's nothing that we can really do about it. Just like the movie "The Day After Tomorrow," nature will restore it's self. Of course it won't happen as fast as it did in the movie but it will happen.

Answer 3

chick-fil-a, and India

All this cow love is causing a decrease in the consumption of these beasts...

Their flatulence is causing all of their extra gas leading to GW

Answer 4

Yes Vikin, blame the Americans.  How typical.  Maybe you should look at what countries began the industrial revolution and you'll realize that their polution was essentially unregulated.  There are still visual effects from pollution that occurred in Europe more than 150 years ago.  Or how about China and India today?  They have very few restrictions on to how or what they pollute.  Compared to America, they are far worse.  So yes, go ahead and blame the big bad America.  I'm not saying we are free of blame for pollution, but don't be an ignorant moron and say it's the doing of one country just because it happens to be the largerst prosperous nation on earth.

Answer 5

It's every person on this world that uses pollution and electricity. We do need these things for a living, but added all up, we've gone way overboard. Just so you know.

Answer 6

it is no ones fault. this is a normal phase that earth goes through. there as been many ice ages. But I would say that we are speeding up the process. how much though I do not know

Answer 7

i dnt believe were at fault i think its a process the earth goes thru until the nxt ice age then after the air will clear again. thers not just been one ice age. but after those ice ages the air cleared and let life again, this will happen. i believe its somethigng the earth goes through

Answer 8

The main culprits are the oil companies,and car makers.  The reason not much has been done is the well financed 'deniers' program.The oil co. have well paid scientist who are willing to prostitute themselves to push the myth that AGW is not happening.  That's why the US is the only hold out in the fight against AGW!

Answer 9

Here is truth about global warming:

Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.

The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.

This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.

Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is

becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).

As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).

When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.

It's been happening for millions of years.

The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY.

As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather.

Global warming/cooling, AKA 'climate change':

Humans did not cause it.

Humans cannot stop it.

Answer 10

Al Gore, he came up with it

if global Warming is really happening then why am I so Cold

Answer 11

The people who refuse to believe it..... Global Warming has been occurring since time immemorial.... To balance such an event, the earth cools and slips into an ice age...... it's just that, in our case, it has come to a point where it may be irreversible and in the end, we only have ourselves to blame.....

Answer 12

It is all of our fault because we all us cars and we all use tv. computers and all kind of other things!!

Answer 13

people

Answer 14

Only those cultures without industrial technology can claim innocence.

Answer 15

I would have to say its no ones fault. The earth is naturally going to do whatever its going to do. I dont believe we're having it though, cuz weve had more of a cold miserable winter here this yr than weve had in a long time.*

Answer 16

It's no ones fault, but it did invent AL Gore.

Answer 17

pretty much everyone's:

human destruction of rain forest and other old-growth forests

human reliance on fossil fuels

human directed wasteful use of those fossil fuels

also natural causes:

natural cycles for warming and cooling

volcanoes

naturally decomposing plant matter that releases methane

If your question is about human causes, and about which country contributes most, then the answer depends on whether you mean historic, current, or projected contributions, as well as per capita contribution or raw contribution.

Your wording  indicates the desire for simple answers to a very complex question.  FAULT  may be less important at this point than RESPONSIBILITY.  The answer to that is also "Pretty much everyone, especially those of means to make changes!"

Answer 18

We Canadians are major culprits, considering the major part our fossil fuels are playing. Not all of the fossil fuel is burned in Canada, we are however the largest single supplier of oil and gas to the USA, and a significant supplier of coal to China.

We also purchase large quantities of Chinese and American products that are made with large amounts of fossil fuel. So indirectly we are responsible for a slice of American and Chinese emissions.

We can salve our conscience by noting that within Canada itself we produce less than 4% of the world's GHG. But we still produce (here) far more than our fair share of GHG.

Canada on a per-capita basis is even worse than the USA, even though we lay the blame for some of our emissions on exports of fuels to the USA.

Answer 19

GW is a scam. It is not true go measure the CO2 . The gas is not there. The oil Co. love how much money this has made them.

Answer 20

if 'who' is nation, i would say Americans.

if it is more general i would say the 'oh im gonna be dead so why worry? ' type of people and those who knew what was gonna happen but were too greedy to stop destroying the environment

Answer 21

i think the past generations are. they never recycled until recently, and burned what they could, like plastics and tires.....

dummies !

Answer 22

It is Al Gore's fault and Global Warming is fake.

Answer 23

It's nobody's fault. In fact, its not even a fault. It is caused by nature.
