  1. I hope so. It might if we all cut back on energy use.


  2. Yes, global warming will cease if the Earth is moved further away from the sun in it's orbit.

  3. Since 1900 the temperature of the earth has warmed by .6 of one degree.  Most of this rise happened in the first few years.

    Since 1998, the warming trend has stopped, halted.  There has been NO increase in earth's temp. since then, that's 10 years ago.

    So to answer your question, global warming has gone away.

  4. it will take over a hundred years for all the extra carbon Dioxde to go out of the air. But that would mean we would have to stop the use of all fossil fuels right now

  5. It has already stopped warming. Journalists have warned of climate change for 100 years, but can’t decide weather we face an ice age or warming

    Journalists decide not only what they cover; they also decide whether to include opposing viewpoints. That’s a balance lacking in the current “debate.”

    "The year was 1895, and it was just one of four different time periods in the last 100 years when major print media predicted an impending climate crisis. Each prediction carried its own elements of doom, saying Canada could be “wiped out” or lower crop yields would mean “billions will die.”

    "For many years now, human-caused climate change has been viewed as a large and urgent problem. In truth, however, the biggest part of the problem is neither environmental nor scientific, but a self-created political fiasco. Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase (there was actually a slight decrease, though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero)."

    "Now, a total of more than 9,000 Americans with PhDs in science and therefore professional educational credentials that, on average, equal or surpass the United Nations 600 -- and a total of more than 31,000 Americans with at least BS degrees in science have signed a petition to the U.S. government specifically rejecting the United Nations claim that human use of hydrocarbon energy is injuring the climate. In fact, the 31,000 scientists state that carbon dioxide released by energy production is actually beneficial to the environment."

  6. Yeah- it already went away for a couple of years. It's natural, you see.

  7. no, its a cyclical event that happens with or without humans, the earth warms and cools over millions of years, we just make it worse. i just answered a question similar to this one so ill post it here and hopefully you can get something out of it.

    to understand global warming you have to know about the greenhouse effect, this is where certain gasses accumulate in our atmosphere, and absorb heat from the suns rays. some of these gases are carbon dioxide gas and methane gas which is actually 10 times more dangerous for the warming process than co2. also, cfc's, or chlorofluerocarbons, which i probably spelled wrong, are released through aerosols and other emmitants and these reach the ozone layer, located in the stratosphere of our atmosphere, and they combine with the O3 which is ozone, and changes its molecular structure so that it is not ozone anymore but a pollutant, and this process depletes the ozone layer. this is bad because the ozone layer is what absorbs much of the suns harmful uv rays, and with less ozone, more rays are allowed to reach earths surface which causes it to gradually warm, and tourists need more sunscreen. this slow warming process affects the glaciers and ice caps, causing them to melt and break apart. and then there comes a domino effect. the more the ice caps shrink, the more of the suns rays reach earth and are absorbed instead of being reflected by the ice. think of glaciers as a big mirror, and if the mirror gets smaller less heat is reflected, and more sticks around in the ground, air, and water. the level of a surfaces reflective qualities is called its albedo, and glaciers have the highest albedo of any surface on earth. the oceans absorb the light where there used to be ice, and this warmth is carried throughout the world on the oceans currents, which have all seen temps. at least a degree F higher than normal. a lot of this stems from co2 emmisions from automobiles, coal burning power plants, and any other fossil fuel burning activity, even fires release large ammounts of co2. methane is another problem, and  actually there are large reserves of methane gas trapped in pockets under the ocean that collect from thousands of years of marine life decaying. when anything decays the organisms that cause it release methane. and these pockets are trapped at the bottom of the sea because the water is at just the right temp., and if it rises too much, the gas can be released because it is no longer denser than the water above. i heard a statistic not too long ago that the last time these methane reserves escaped 80% of life on earth was destroyed because of the superheating that follows, and ice ages that follow that. thats huge, and not many people are aware of this really. and no its not only human activity that is causing global warming, we're just speeding up the process, but we are on a natural warming trend, but its the fastest warming trend on record. by record i mean ice core sample records that date millions of years back. i dont know it that was 6 things, but i hope i said enough to give you a modest scoop on global warming.

  8. It won't if we do not start to use our resources sustainably and cut back on our pollution. Scientists say that global warming will have reached it's peak by 2015. After that we need to drastically make changes in our ways of living. If we manage to do this the effect of global warming will have been halved by the end of 2050. So global warming is pretty much here to stay in our lifetime. If all goes well it will someday come to an end.Hopefully

  9. If we turn around and stop with all the pollution now, rather than later, we can greatly delay and slow down the effects of global warming.

    One of the problems is that there are people who do not believe in it, and people who feel like it's not affecting them and so they won't do anything about it.

    And there's the business aspect; the businesses that would lose profit from cutting back, and don't want to change for monetary reasons.

    The list goes on...

  10. We have always had global warming andit has very little to do with man-made problems. Go to google search and type in 400 scientists dispute man-made global warming and you will find out it is considered the hoax of the century. Yes we are to blame for some of te greenhouse effect but most is due to solar flare ups and yearly cycles.

  11. 1. Shipping. Reduce promote individual and collective means.

    2. Domestic Energy. To reduce its spending with electrical energy label or off the aircraft completely (and not in standby mode).

    3. Waste. Encourage the garbage separation and recycling.

    4. Materials. Reuse whenever possible (paper, toys, tools, furniture…) and avoid using bags, boxes and packaging.

    5. Water. Reduce your consumption placing, for example, bottles in tanks.

    6. Irrigation. Minimize the risk of gardens and promote the drip system.

    7. Urbanization. Only where it is known that there will be enough water in the long run. On many occasions where licenses are awarded, no water.

    8. Nature. Respect protected areas and minimize the impact on natural areas.

    9. Properties. Built with good thermal insulating materials for investment in heating and air conditioning is less

    10. Slits. To improve the insulation in windows and doors because between 5% and 10% of the heat escapes from home for them.

    11. Solar photovoltaic panels connected to the mains.

    12. Alternative energy. Giving more value and be willing to finance them. If all the support, will be profitable, albeit more expensive.

    13. Taxes. Allow to be allocated for the conservation of resources.

    14. Floor. Minimize changes in land use and generally artificial soil.

    15. Impact. Giving more importance to environmental impact assessment and consider alternatives costly but environmentally friendly

    16. Species. Do not move away from their place of origin.

    17. Invaders. Not releasing pets and pets. They can be invasive species.

    18. Chemicals. Minimize the use of chemical compounds such as antibiotics, fertilizers and sprays….

    19. Educating children in the value of goods offered ecosystems.

    20. Governments. Requiring long-term sustainable management of natural resources.
