With all this global warming, shouldn't it be getting warmer?

Answer 1

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

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)

If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

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  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 2

greenland is not white anymore.................................... earth is getting warmer

Answer 3

it is.

"Melting permafrost has already forced the government of Alaska to cut  from 200 to 100 days the annual period during which oil and gas equipment is permitted to travel on the tundra."

Answer 4

If you think about it, earth is getting warmer. Just like how we can't  really tell whether the earth is rotating around, we can't really tell whether our planet is getting warmer. In fact, in extremely cold places like Northern Canada, it used to be freeezing there but now it feels a bit warm compared to the freezing weather back in the 20th century.

However, in places like Africa, where it already is warm, it's getting even more warmer and due to this most children are dying because of the sudden growth of heat, and in some cases that's the cause of AIDS. I am not so sure about that, i've heard it from a friend. Hope this answers your question. You asked a very good question.

Answer 5

But it is not. so what does that mean about GW. It is a scam that will cost us plenty. The oil Co. have already started charging US 3 prices for gasoline.

Answer 6

yes

the temp of the Earth as a whole is rising day by day.

CO2 is the cause of global warming (Green House Effect)

Answer 7

I guess........

Answer 8

It is getting warmer. In my country we had quite high temperatures in winter, only towards January going below 0. As for the summer, temperatures will rise up to more than 40 degrees C. So yes, I think it is slowly but surely getting warmer.

Answer 9

maybe it dosnt in ur country but it could be in another
