have you thought about this??(concerning global warming)?
1. if there wasn't global warming we would still have a problem,global cooling. so instead of getting record high temperatures...we'll be getting record low temperatures. and some sports and other activities will not be able to play.
2. you cannot prevent global warming. what mother nature wants is what she will do.
3.yes, people are part of the problem, but mother nature is way ahead of us.global warming started way back in the 1800's
4. yes, people can slow down global warming to get into the ice age if we use smaller cars and not the big SUV's
5. politicians are scaring and alerting people , they are also making billions of dollars doing that.
6. the rich and famous people are using more energy and electricity(jets,limos,big house=more electricity used) than middle and lower class people....
7. give your opinions ^.^ and not stupid ones
i love seeing people get all fussed up about things like this =D why would i care about grammar on yahoo answers??hmmm???? do u like my grammar nowww??
OK, you have probably heard a lot of people say that Global Warming is just a natural cycle, and that there's nothing we can do to stop it from occurring. While there is some truth to that (Global Warming is a natural cycle, and it's going to occur no matter what) there's something else out there that's messing up this natural cycle, and is making it like nothing the world has ever seen before. That new factor is human activities. Human activities directly affect the greenhouse effect (which directly affects Global Warming), you see greenhouse gases a natural in the atmosphere to keep us from freezing over, but since the beginning of the industrial age, we (humans) have added excess greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that aren't suppose to be there (and the more we add the harder it is for the earth to remove them). These excess gases trap more heat and release less causing the whole earth to heat up (a.k.a. Global Warming) this is NOT good because the slightest change in the earth's climate systems can affect the entire thing. Causing new climate patterns to emerge that we may not be able to adapt to (and about 1/3 to 2/3 of the worlds species as well).
But there is still hope. We currently have all of the technology, money, man power, and resources we need to EFFECTIVLEY slow Global Warming back down to its modest warming over thousands of years.
To get more information, evaluate your daily impact, and to find out how you can start reducing your daily impact (cheaply) go to climatecrisis.org and/or think.mtv.com and/or nasa.gov and/ or http://liveearth.msn.com/green/myths
And if this still isn't working for you then I have a question for you. In about 30 years (if humans haven’t decide to change our ways, go green, and slow down the effects of Global Warming to its natural rate) and the effects of Global Warming have set in so far that there's nothing we can do or any one after us can do to reverse what WE have done, and my children/grandchildren and you children/grandchildren have to live with the horrible effects What are you going to say? What are you going to say when they ask you, "What were you thinking? Why didn't you do anything?"
actually, it's gone on for over a million years, and i think that global warming is just the popular fad for the rich and famous. instead of worrying about what might happen in 200 years, they should be worrying about what's going on now ( like Dur-far, and education, and poverty). I guess global warming makes a better t-shirt then genocide does, and it's easier to recycle a can then to care about a child starving on the other side of the world
1. Whether warming or cooling, humans have survived in the past. It's only today we got so many cry babys who are afraid to go outside.
2. Mother nature doesn't care what we do. Mother nature simply adapts. Life forms evolve. Fauna change. This is proved by the fossil record.
3. Global warming started when the last major ice age ended with many smaller cycles between then and now.
4. I want to INCREASE my carbon footprint, not decrease it. There is so much more stuff I want to use, more electric guitars, foot pedals, keyboards, computers, software, gadgets, automation...the list is endless. Better find another solution cause there aint no way I'm letting go of my SUV!
5. Politicians are lucky because there are now just as many conformists on the left as there are on the right. Very few people think for themselves.
6. And I want to be rich and famous or at least be able to live like them - private jet and all. That's the American dream. Why should some people have it all and others got to sacrifice? So they can be more slave labor?
Question, HOW often is the distance of the earth to the sun measured?... i mean exactly how long ago did they start measuring?
What if the earth is getting just that much closer to cause such effects on global warming?
thank you its so great to here you say that i have been really scared lately and some kids in school have been talking about it and i have been scared down to the point of crying and i dont want to tell my friends or family that im scared because then they might get scared to thank you
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Unless we can agree on a cause and a cure, its just going to be another hotly debated topic ala The War, AIDS, The Economy, Politics.
Human Nature: Argue about something till you're tired of that subject, then move on to the next. Thank you all for your concern, but you guys really need to get a life.
