Why do you think that some people dont want to contribute to eliminate Global Warming?

Question

Why do you think that some people dont want to contribute to eliminate Global Warming?

Answer 1

Refusal to believe and or denial that there is indeed a problem with our ozone, combined with general laziness and disregard for every other living species on this planet.

Answer 2

Not everyone believe in global warming and some people just don't care. Also, some of the ways paoples use to eliminate global warming such as solar power cars, hybrid cars are just too expensive to buy and an average person is just stuct with there average car, they can't help eliminate a great cuase of global warming.

Answer 3

The majaority of people don't believe it to begin with

Answer 4

Some people don't believe what we are told causes it.  Some pretend not to believe because they are too lazy think about how they can help: reducing energy usage etc.

Answer 5

Because I'm all tapped out from preventing Y2K, and SARS, and avian flu, and...

Answer 6

Because many people do not believe that humans are the cause of it and many do not want to believe out of pride and laziness because they have become to accustomed to easy life driving internal combustion cars and bikes,moving lawns with lawn mowers,flying in planes.Admitting that the humans are the cause of global warming would mean that they would have to give up their easy and lazy life to save the planet.Denying the possibility that humans are responsible means that they do not have to give up their easy life and that they can continue to be lazy.Those who are most addicted to oil are the ones who deny the possibility the most.Try claiming that humans are responsible for global warming on a American web site and you will see how the denial is wide spread.

Answer 7

Why would I want to give my money or time to a con game.  

Gee, thats like when a person sends you an e-mail from another country saying you won millions (or inherited millions) and in order to claim it you must either send them money or give up your bank account info.

Its all a scam.

Answer 8

lazyiness

spoilt think every one else will do it.

Answer 9

I cannot speak for everyone, but I can speak for myself.  I am opposed to efforts to eliminate global warming because I believe it is a waste of precious resources that can be better used elsewhere.  My thinking is as follows:

The Earth has always gone through temperature cycles.  Paleometeorological studies have indicated that during past cycles, the maximum temperatures reached were roughly 3 degrees Celsius above current global temperatures.

The cause of these cycles is not well understood, but since they occurred tens of thousands of years before we began using fossil fuels, they certainly were not due to man made greenhouse gases.

There is no reason to believe that these cycles have ended.

We are currently in the midst of on of the warming periods of these natural cycles.  This started roughly 10,000 years ago.

It is reasonable to assume that this cycle will progress to its ultimate conclusion with global temperatures 3-4 degrees above current levels.

Thus, global warming is inevitable and cannot be stopped.  We would be better served if all of the efforts and resources currently being used in finger pointing, hand wringing, name calling and futile attempts to stop this cycle were spent getting ready for the inevitable consequences.

Answer 10

First of all we can no more eliminate Global Warming then we can stop the sun from shining.  To suggest that a person who does not agree with global warming does not care for the the world he or she lives in is plain wrong. I don't buy into the hype however I am very aware of pollution and we as a family do our part to make the earth a better place to live.  I tend to live by the adage that action speak louder then words.

Answer 11

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 12

Why eliminate global warming ?  Even though its a hoax.  Can you tell me one thing that would be wrong if the temp. went up a few degrees?

Answer 13

I'm sure that a lot of people aren't even informed about things they can do to try and fight against Global warming. Hopefully with a lot more information available via the internet etc. more people will catch on to this idea..

Answer 14

Many people are not aware of global warming,they just know that water should not be wasted,energy should be saved........but they don't know the adverse effects of it if not done.things like using fluorescent lights,turning off the monitor when not in use or during downloads,using public transport instead of bike or car,use less hot water.....are not know to common man.they are 7 to 8 billion people living on planet earth among them only a small quantity of people know about this.lack of awareness is one strong reason.laziness,importance focused on other things in life,consciously not making effects towards its eradication can be few other reasons.

Answer 15

Because it's cold enough already.

Answer 16

AGW is a lie.

Answer 17

because that will cause less money in their pockets..people think they can live forever..
