  1. The temperature going hotter and hotter because of what we called a green house effect which is arising from the accumulated effect of carbon dioxide resulting from our biological and industrial activities, and our misusing of earth resources.

    Yes recycling can help to reduce global temperature through controlling exhausting of our plant earth resources, and spending more energy (more CO2) for mining and industrial activities.


  2. The heat comes from the Sun, the global warming exist but is cause for the sun which is not a machine for burning always at the same rate so...what you want to recycle and what for in this is relate with the heat????...God sake...

  3. Global warming is caused by humans releasing a number of different gasses in to the atmosphere in very very large quantities for about 100 years now. Those gases have changed the way the earth absorbs and reflects light from the sun. Those changes have resulted in the Earth absorbing slightly more sunlight than it used to and that extra energy is slowly heating up the Earth.

    Here is the problem. The gasses we have already released into the atmosphere would be very difficult to take back out again and so we are basically stuck waiting for natural processes to remove those gases. That will take hundreds of years.

    What we can do though is to keep it from getting worse. Today we are releasing more of these gases faster than ever so every day the problem gets worse because more and more greenhouse gases are building up in the atmosphere. To keep the problem from getting worse we need to stop releasing these gasses as quickly as possible.

    Reducing greenhouse gas production is very hard because our way of life is based on using lots of energy. It is the production of energy is the main way we create the most important greenhouse gas, which is carbon dioxide. Every time we burn something, gasoline to drive someplace, natural gas to heat our houses, coal to generate electricity, we make more carbon dioxide. We need to learn how to generate our energy using methods that do not require burning fossil fuels.

    There are many types of energy that do not require burning fossil fuels such as: wind power, hydroelectric power, solar power and nuclear power. One important complication is that all of these "clean" power sources are used to generate electricity. That is a problem for cars because cars currently do not run on electricity. That is one reason why people are working hard on electric cars, hybrid cars and fuel cell power cars.

    There is one more "clean" energy source that does work with today's cars and that is bio fuel. In that case we grow plants, which absorb carbon dioxide to grow, and then later turn the plant matter into bio diesel or ethanol, both of which can be burned in a regular engine. The carbon dioxide that burning releases is the same carbon dioxide captured by the plants when they grow so there is no addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which is why this is a clean fuel.

    So basically there are a couple of things to understand about Global Warming.

    1) We cannot make it go away no matter what we do because the gasses we have already released in the last 100 or so years will be in the atmosphere absorbing extra energy from the sun for hundreds of more years.

    2) Global warming will get much worse if we keep pumping out greenhouse gases and it will last much longer. Greenhouse gases come from burning fossil fuels to generate our energy. Therefore we must change the way we generate energy as fast as possible.

  5. The temperature is getting hotter due to the fact that we are moving away from an ice age, and no recycling can not help reduce the temperature only a change in the earths cycle will do that.

  6. Remember this world was once in an Ice Age, it's what the world does it goes all hot and then it goes cold.  Recycling things is nice because we won't have to live with yucky rubbish everywhere, but it won't save the world.

    Oh, and all that data, how did scientists prove it?  What did they go back a million years?  Did they take a sample of oxygen from now and then from the future and test it?  No, it's all theory.  Like how 'theory is' following a cook book will bake a perfect cake - never happens in reality!

  7. Actually the sun's output is going up and Mars and Pluto are also warming up

  8. Man is responsible for about 90%, the sun about 10%.  This data is solid, verified, and peer reviewed:

    Recycling can help, but the main things are alternative energy nd alternative fuels for vehicles.

  9. Carbon dioxide is nowhere near as dangerous a greenhouse gas as methane and the average cow produces a lot of methane.  People talk about the Amazon being the lungs of the earth but there is far more plant life in the sea.

    There were vineyards in the midlands of England in the middle ages.  Greenland had a thriving community of Vikings.

    It gets warm, it gets cold, it gets warm again.

    Recycling is good for the conscience but one day there will be a warm tropical sea across the middle of America and intelligent cockroaches will rule the world.
