Why are so many chinese not believeing global warming?

Question

could it be because of the record breaking cold weather they are having? Surely it will warm up some day.

Answer 1

maybe because they see global warming as a way to cut them off from economic success.  Its funny how we want EVERYONE TO STOP using oil, yet we are the only ones with any type of technology to use something else!  And we dont even have a good hold on that.  

Oil is by far the most efficient, easiest to use source of energy.  You take the fuel source with you, which you cant do if you have to plug your car in every 160 miles...  

Seriously, 200,000,000 people need it in america in order to get to work every day.  Then some people's jobs use oil to power machines used to produce the things we need.  Plastics are made of petroleum distillates...   Im sorry, but you people are crazy to think we are going to be able to switch to anything else "in time" ( in time in your eyes,  in my eyes, there is no deadline, we will hit another cooling trend beyond our control, then even more people will die than they would have in global warming).

Answer 2

Interesting blog about the "Smoglympics" in Beijing -

Answer 3

They are far too busy pulling themselves out of poverty (or getting rich in the case of some city dwellers) to care about such a subtle and hard to notice problem.

Answer 4

Your question is based on a false premise.  The Chinese do accept global warming and are quite concerned about it.  They want to continue their rapid economic expansion, but they are already seeing huge new problems caused by ignoring environmental issues.

Answer 5

Well I'm Chinese and i believe in global warming & yes global warming is happening this very second. have you noticed the weather all changing?

Answer 6

Where did you get this information? I think that you are wrong.

A key growing economy with a large majority in favor of significant action is China. Seventy percent of urban Chinese respondents believe major steps are needed quickly to address climate change.Those favoring limits on the emissions of less wealthy countries include a 68 percent majority in China.

Answer 7

camphelp is correct, who cares about some concept like that when all you really want to do is fill your stomach, and that of your family

Answer 8

Hey YOU. Watch it. I'm a chinese, and i CARE about global warming. People in China, they often ride their bikes. (because they're poor) Americans have cars (because they travel around more). And i have to say that Americans use plastic all the time. BUT, Chinese people do too. Well, a friend of mine actually DOESN'T believe in Global Warming, and i really got upset. He believe that there are mroe ice forming.

So i said, Well there are a lot more thats melting.

Answer 9

the reason China has such pollution problems is because USA puts so much money into building polluting factories there.. not becuase the Chinese people dont care..

every time you buy something made in China - YOU are part of the problem

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at http://www.agua-luna.com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Answer 12

Because they are freezing their buts off right now. Don't worry at least they will understand pollution very quickly. Their biggest problem making the changes. the people are run by the government, not the other way around like here. Remember what happened the last time the Chinese tried to protest. So when the government decides they need to change it will happen quickly because their government is in complete control.

Answer 13

Why should they panic over a "myth"?  Back in the 1970's there were scientists that tried to warn us about man-made "Global Cooling" and the new Ice -age and they put out these documenteries with stock footage of the snow storm which crippled Buffalo, New York and so on.  They were as wrong then as they are now.  

There are thousands of scientists that dispute the global warming theory but they do not get the big money support that the Enviromental (Big business non-profits) get.  

Don't be fooled!

Answer 14

No, it's because they are smart people and they love education. They notice that their economic welfare is more important than a THEORY.

If their was some sort of "concensus" then it would be the Law of Global Warming but no.We don't have that because most people worldwide see beyond the hype.
