What Do You Think Of Global Warming intellectual

[lovelylady345 0]

i think it is a problem but it isn't gonna kill us so we should do a little more research before people anounce to the world we are all gonna dye.that is just my honest opinion,if you don't agree well then just remember

that is only my opinion.

 

hello........

I think Global warming has been around longer than we have. I do not think there is a problem, just a cycle. I believe that this will all come around full circle eventually.Yes the stuff we have today does effect it, but I do not believe that. If so, than our time here with the pollutants that we put into the air, are nothign compared to what has been put into it from the past such as volcanic ash and other celestial disruptions.

Could be, but who knows?

Well no one really knows. heck we've only been keeping records of it for what now? 30 years? maybe less. Heck the earth is a lot older than that. So I think instead of making assumptions and choosing fear mongering as a selling point for disaster, let's use long terms facts, and we have none of those yet.

It's been found that the largest producer of greenhouse gasses are plants, themselves, so apparently the enviroment manages to balance things out one way or another.

Ah 'tis my subject. I've done a bit of research in this for some projects of mine for school. I got to talk with some former professor at Harvard about it, but I can't quote stuff because I don't remember the exact words so bear with me. =)

There most certainly is a cycle. If we allow it to continue by not stopping our greenhouse gas releasing, it will result in the human race (and other species) becoming extinct (eventually... talking 100-200 years or so), or at least some chaos because we'll run out of oil eventually as well. Whichever happens, right after there will be an immediate decrease of the amount of CO2 being released, and thus the temperatures will cool down again. I'm not sure if the cycle will start up again and have life form after that, though... =p

I'd love to see some evidence of that. Can you explain the amazing increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere recently? It is a huge difference, and I don't see how anyone can say that it naturally occurred. Here's a graph of it I found online, though I cannot guarantee its validity, I doubt that it is inaccurate.

As you can see, it was previously going up and down, but staying at a somewhat constant amount. Until about 1900.

yeah, about the time of the car invention...

as for the fact of global warming, i hate the heat, but i do what i can and that is it... i know some people are going to say how stupid of you....blah..blah..blah..blah, dont bother...because i dont relaly care..

but hey, there was the ice age, now we will have the heat age blah i hate it

We are talking about the issue in Australia alot. Its crunch time for the world. Sustainable Fossil FuelCambridge University Press, January 19, 2006More and more people believe we must quickly wean ourselves from fossil fuels oil, natural gas and coal to save the planet from environmental catastrophe, wars and economic collapse. Professor Jaccard argues that this view is misguided. We have the technological capability to use fossil fuels without emitting climate-threatening greenhouse gases or other pollutants. The transition from conventional oil and gas to unconventional oil, unconventional gas and coal for producing electricity, hydrogen and cleaner-burning fuels will decrease energy dependence on politically unstable regions. In addition, our vast fossil fuel resources will be the cheapest source of clean energy for the next century and perhaps longer, which is critical for the economic and social development of the world?s poorer countries. By buying time for increasing energy efficiency, developing renewable energy technologies and making nuclear power more attractive, fossil fuels will play a key role in humanity?s quest for a sustainable energy system.

I still think Ethenol is a better option. It's clean and very abundant.

well it is quite a bad one as it does not do anything quickly but over the longer periods of time it is when it causes the damage as there will probolly be no fatal effect for the next 400 or 500 years but that is when it will start becoming deadly i think i say that because if you look at it over the past 100 odd years they have recorded a steady increase in temperatures. the problem is not so much that it is getting warmer it is how this is effecting everything else like how it is melting the ice caps or how it is playing hovoc with the seasonal changes and things like that and at the moment it is ok. It iis only going to get worst is something is not done about as this already made it alot harder for certain crops to be grown and even for certain wild life to sustain it self because of the way everything has change. The one thing i don't understand is why the are still so reliant on fossil fuels and things like oil, i can't see why they can't produce a synthetic oil which they should be able to make alot cleaner and even cheaper, they must the technology to do this !! Almost everything else in this world they have been able to make synthetic versions of it !!! i think it is just easier to carry on pulling it out the ground likes there is no tomorrow. They don't put any effort in and who ever is the person who owns that is a multibillionare because everyone else is also to lazy. But one day they will not have anymore of these resources and then what will happen ??

Yes, it is an improvement in the process, but doesn't eliminate the requirement for the consumption of Fossil Fuels. Ethanol is an additive, not a replacement, as I understand it.

Global Warming is indeed an issue which requires attention. The sooner the better. Ozone holes are an example of the destructive nature of the level of Industrialisaton we are currently operating under. CFC's are now banned in most countries. They were indentified as a key to the removal of the Ozone and banning them is a good step.

Collectively, we must become more aware of this problem. I think there has been enough studies to indicate that Global Warming is an issue which will cause great damage to the ecology upon which we all depend for our breathing, the Food Chain, and the state of the Planet as we know it .

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle. Become less dependent on Fossil Fuels. It all adds up.

important issues. . . . its effecting the world we live in NOW, and will only get worse. . . . we can slow the process and reverse it but only if we take action now/soon. . . .The melting of the polar ice-caps is clear evidence that were messing up this planet. . . if temperatures keep rising like they are places will start being flooded and weather patterns wil lcauise more freak natural disaters. . . .There are ways to counter this. . . . . by major nations cutting down their CO2 emissions. . . sadly. . . . bassicly every nation has signed up. . . . except america. . . the largest polluter of CO2. . . and without them doing enough to help its pretty much doomed. . . . god dam american administration. . . .but that aside. . . .of course its an issue. . . weither your too ignorant to see it/or believe your governments propaganda, it IS AN ISSUE which is EFFECTING US NOW.

Im look at Global warming two ways. First is its not going to happen in my lifetime why should i care. But on the other hand. What about my ancestor's? Are they all gonna be wiped out because we cant be bothered to look after the enviroment.

Well some people think that global warming is actually a good thing. Scienists believe that the ice age might start again for earth, so global warming may actually reverse that effect. It might be a little fast, but it works, at least thats what some people think. Me, personally I believe that this theory is bs. I mean global warming is global warming its melting the ice caps and killing of the polar bears, we should do everything in our power to prevent this

Global warming is quite a problem. It may not affect any of us but it affects others. It will eventually harm future generations so don't think it isn't a problem because if it isn't it will be. 3 miles of Alaska's coast has been flooded because of global warming melting icecaps increasing the amount of water over the past 5 years I believe. With the amount of people in this world more carbon dioxide will be released into the atmosphere and it will get even hotter. Eventually all the ice caps will melt and we will lose a lot of land making the population density higher which leads to death. The ozone layer will grow more holes and harmful UV radiation will start to burn through and cause more skin cancer and kill plants with no protection. It may not affect you directly but does affect others and the future.
