Global Warming Queston?
818375
It's hard to predict a date that we will all die, but problems are already happening.\n\nCO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.\n\nLook at the 'hockeystick', which shows a dramatic warming since 1950 after a fairly stable climate for 1000 years. In fact, the 10 hottest years in recorded history have all happened since 1990, with 2005 being the hottest.\n(see links below)\n\nHow's that for proof of man's fault in this? There is ample proof, any real scientist will tell you that.\n\nThere has NEVER been an article doubting man's influence on global warming published in a peer-reviewed journal. A recent study of almost 1000 proved that.\n\nYes, the earth naturally heats and cools, but the rate and amount we are warming now is unprecedented in the recent geologic past. We are doing this, and we must stop it. This is not some political statement or rhetoric. This is science trying to educate a crass, ignorant public of the damage they are doing. The magnitude of temperature increase ALREADY is about 10x that of the 'little ice age' of the middle ages, and rate and amount are only going up. \n\nJust to be clear, glacial and interglacial cycles are mainly controlled by astronomical fluctuations, but we have a detailed record of the last 7 cycles, and what the climate and CO2 is doing now is way different and extreme. The rate of increase is much higher than in the past AND the value itself is much higher.\n\nHI CO2: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4467420.stm\nHOCKEY STICK: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/5109188.stm\nGeneral climate stuff: \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3897061.stm

actually, because of Global Warming, we would be in the ice age.  The increase in temperature causes a higher density of water vapor in the air, as a result the net temperature on the surface of the earth drops, and we get lots and lots of percipitation.  The Earth is making drastic attempts to shift it's self to remedy this.  Al Gore thinks we can control it because WE caused it, and so it would stand to reason that we fix it.

If you mean global warming, it's the scientific observation that the earth's temperature is rising over a period of time This is resulting in polar melting, raising the ocean level and affecting other weather patterns.

>>>>>Do you know anything bout global warming?\n\nYes, quite alot.\n\n>>>>do you not agree about global warming?\n\nThat sentence makes no sense. Resubmit in English.

it is the greenhouse effect that causes global warming.

Problem: global warming  Solution:cut carbon emmissions by finding an alternative energy source, cutting down electricty use, riding a bike, buying more fuel efficient cars, planting trees, supporting laws and bills that put tougher restrictions on factories' waste.  \nProblem: poverty   Solution:redistribution of wealth, encouraging people to donate time/money/clothes/food (making it beneficial somehow, like offering 1 dollar tax refund for every hour of community service)  \nProblem: Apathy  Solution: spread the word, bring awareness about issues to your local community\nProblem: Lack of healthcare  Solution: reach out to lawmakers to encourage them to make bills and laws that provide more comprehensive healthcare coverage.

Global Warming.....glaciers melting and too much water for the land.

The Cooling period is "started" by a warming trend. "Global warming" causes more of the earths water to evaporate(even if for a time the warming takes from the poles) into the atmosphere and as it moves into to poles it is frozen. Very gradually there is a shift in temperature as the poles increase in moisture content When glaciars are large enough they can affect the general climate and local weather. The glaciars, being quite dry and cold and having influenced the enviornment, continue to draw in moisture and grow...eventuallllllllllly you have an ice age.\n\nNearly all moderate(read modern) glacial activity is fluctuating in response to the enviornment and not affecting it...though with a possiblity of global warming, that may change in 10-20 thousand years...lol

Yes.  Global Warming is occuring.  It will just keep getting worse if we don't take measures to try and prevent things from getting worse.

global warming. ince caps melt, sea levels rise, land submerged

Global warming refers to the observed increases in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades .. \n\nNeed to know more ? click the link below !!!

Pollution caused by exhaust gases plus CO2 blocks the radiation of heat from the earth into the universe. Thus global warming will cause the sea level to rise as much as 2 kilometers high in the near future.

Unfortunately, the solution is nontrivial. Scientists believe that climate change is largely due to the burning of fossil fuels for energy needs. These needs include transportation, heating and electricity production to name the big ones. Thus by reducing your reliance on a fossil-fuel solution to any one of these needs reduces CO2 emissions, thus slowing global warming. Simple solutions that any one of us can do as an individual might include:\n\n(1)  Living close to where you work -> to eliminate travel\n(2)  Making your house energy efficient, by adding insulation, southern facing windows in the northern latitudes to capture the winter sun. Making architecture encompass energy initiatives.\n(3)  Reducing your electricity consumption by installing fluorescent or LED lighting, pre-heating your hot water by flushing through a radiator on the roof to capture solar energy.\n(4)  Supporting (voting) for green initiatives, renewable energy, nuclear fusion research, hydroelectric.\n(5)  Living in smaller houses, driving smaller cars, buying less stuff.\n(6)  All in addition to the other items mentioned, IE recycling etc…\n\nThe only limit is human creativity.

Global warming is NOT a "natural thing."\nYes, our planet all on its own, for various reasons, does go through cycles of warmer and cooler temperatures.\nHowever, in the last 150 years we have added many billions of tons of carbon in various forms (carbon dioxide in the air is the biggest problem) to the planet's ecosphere -- more than any "natural" cause in the history of the earth.  \nI very much want to leave a habitable planet to my children, so they can do the same for theirs.  That means reducing humans' artificial climate changes which are causing a runaway greenhouse effect -- which is NOT natural.\n\nThe earth isn't going to "die" naturally for another 4.5 BILLION years or so -- why are you so relaxed about moving that deadline up by 4.9999 billion years?\n\n"only" girl -- it's not a theory, it's well proven.  You should keep up with science.

I guess I am not allowed to answer since I am concerned about global warming.  I am also concerned about the massive population explosion of dim wits.  Both are great causes of concern.  But since you did not ask for solutions I will not give you what you did not ask for.  You seek to get blabble babble static and drivle...
