Global Warming

[D-Striker]

What is your opinion on global warming?

 

I think that is not much of a big deal.

[∮.Ғσяgσттeи.SσℓÐιєя.∮]

eh, i iz beleiving it, though it probably wont effect me for a while :P

[JG.]

If you don't think it is a big deal, go throw yourself of a cliff. It is one of the biggest issues of our time! Think about it. Experts say that in 20 years the average global tameratur will have risen by 1.5C! And when that happens, the rainforests will wittle away becaus eit's to hot, the arctic ice will melt and the sea level will rise, flooding the homes of about 1 billion people! That's a 1/6 of the worlds population!

[D-Striker]

Well it probably won't affect me.

 

~DS~

[Wyhe]

just that it will cause the sea level to rise & over time, the world will be under threat of a flood.

[Skuldur]

Well it probably won't affect me.

 

^ This is what's wrong with the world.

[D-Striker]

Well some people freak out and some people are cool.

And you believe everything that "experts" tell you? Meteorologists are "experts" yet they are never 100% correct with their forecasts. Astrologists are "experts" yet their horoscopes and fortunes are utter crap.

 

It's all just statistics and predictions, they can't prove for a fact that any of this will happen. Also, you do have to realize that the earth's orbit around the sun isn't an exact circle. it's closer to the sun at some points and farther away at some points. That's gonna slightly mess with the overall temperatures here, and probably mess more with the temps than global warming ever will.

 

Tell me something, what exactly is global warming (in your words)? Who/what is it caused by?

[Death Metal]

Global Warming is a myth.

 

This is a job for the Mythbusters!

Okay, I'm only gonna say this once: GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIE!!!

The government is just pushing us to worry about Global Warming so we could give them more of our hard earn money, the truth is, this Global Warming facade is just a coverup so we could give our money from our wallets in taxes, where does all the money go to???

War Investment, billions and billions of the so called Global Warming support money is actually invested in War...in my opinion Global Warming is natural, it's nothing that us humans did that caused ice caps to melt, is just natural it happened during the periods of the Dinosaurs and they didn't make a big deal out of it then, but now they're labeling this natural phenomena "Global Warming", how stupid and retundant is that?

Just think about it, why is our government so worry about Global Warming? And why so much war in today's society?

Connection=Bias events+Taxes=WAR...

[ragnarok1945]

A little something called too much greenhouse gases into the atomohsphere. We've been releasing more and more into it for the last 150 years.

 

If you actually checked the statistics, the Earth's temp has risen almost 1 degree C over the past century (the early animal mating seasons confirm the temp rise). The previous 50 years it is us to blame for such temp increases (in fact, of the 1 degree C increase in the last century, 0.65 of it came from the last 50 years)

[.:Shaymin:.]

Global Warming hasn't started yet why should we go around crazy and scream like maniacs.

There is still little to worry about.

I was waiting for someone to say that. If humans are the cause of global warming, why are the polar ice caps on Mars melting? You should check the facts yourself rather than relying on other people's analysis of the statistics. Stats are just that, stats: they are facts and nothing more. People take them and conform them to fitting their supposed theories, which is how global warming came about. It most likely started from one of those tree-hugger groups who think we kill too many trees, and now it's blossomed far out of proportion.

then tell me, are the polar ice caps on Mars melting at the same rate like the ones here are?

In this context, it doesn't matter. You said that in the last 50 years the blame resides with humans. You didn't say part of the blame, you said the blame: meaning all the blame. I merely pointed out that all the blame cannot possibly reside solely with humans.

[ragnarok1945]

ok fine, then let's just say the MAJORITY of the blame goes to us for causing the Earth to heat up for the last 50 years

[Lemniscate]

Global Warming is a natural occurence.

It's not the end of the world, it's the end of OUR world.

There is nothing wrong with that.

And how exactly are we doing this? Do you have a million-mile ruler that can guarantee that the earth just hasn't drifted slightly closer to the sun in it's years and years of orbiting?

Pics or it didn't happen. Earth is the only world humans have ever lived on, so how do you know if something is natural or unnatural in the life span of a life-sustaining planet?

93 million mile to be more accurate, and of course not. And if you feel we're doing no such thing, be my guest and just say everything ever talked about in the global warming issue is just plain BS

[Dark]

Anyone who said global warming is fake is an idiot, no offense. Anyone who freaks out about global warming is wrong, in my opinion. I bolded the first statement because global warming does exsist.

 

Global warming has been going around since the dawn of time. Hot temperatures, ice age, hot-ter temperatures, ice age two, hot-ter-er tempretures, ice age three, hot-ter-er-er temperatures, ice age four... and it goes on and on.

 

The problem is that the more "er's" we get in hot-er-er, the hotter the max temperature gets. So if the max temperature was 105 twenty thousand years ago, it will be 125 this time around. Not exact calculations, but you get the gist of it.

 

Global warming, by the time is actually takes an effect, will be a long time from now. All it is doing now is melting polar ice caps, which will refreeze during our next ice age.

You don't have to freak out right now, and yes, global warming as been going on for all that time.

 

The difference is that the effect had been so little before that we felt we could simply ignore it (for those who knew it existed).

 

But by now the consequences are becoming more and more severe and denying it is no longer an option. Something has to be done.

 

This is where the hard part of the human mind related to: unless we see the consequences happening immediately (and has to be dramatic consequences too), we don't take it seriously.

 

This was among the reasons why it took so long for industrial production and the business world to finally be convinced their products has to be environmentally friendly first, quality comes second (those people see global warming will take too long before something happens, whereas their business something dramatic can happen any day).

What I am saying is that it is all part of the natural cycle of earth. It isn't going to kill the planet, it will just change life.

Ok, frankly, I don't see why I'm debating with high school or younger children about this. You obviously only know what you read in textbooks/see on TV. There is no proof that humans are contributing so much to "global warming", let alone that there's a darn thing we can do to stop it.

 

There have been no "ice ages" on earth ever at all in the history of the earth (which isn't nearly as long as general belief says it is). We did not evolve from primordial ooze into what we are today. There was no big bang, there was no giant meteor strike that wiped out the dinosaurs. Global warming (if it even exists as people think of it) is a natural process that will happen whether or not people drive cars and continue in industry.

 

tl;dr - Look at the facts and evidence yourself instead of just instantly believeing what your textbooks/teachers/parents/friends/TV teach you. If you still believe the same thing after doing so, then that's your prerogative, but you'd be ignoring a lot of information.

You are wrong in this sense, Darth. We didn't cause global warming, but we sure as sheet expanded on it.

 

100 years ago when we had no cars and few factories, there was global warming, but in a less amount.

 

When we inserted CO2 into the atmosphere, it generated more heat from the sun and trapped it inside.

 

Global warming is not our fault, but it is our fault that in a few hundred years it will be severe. Without humans, it would take a longer period of time for us to feel the effects.

 

Also, can you physically prove that no ice ages happened? That no big bang took place? None of us were around to witness that, they are theories. If you have no theories, everything becomes incorrect.

 

Ragnarok, you are wrong, too. It's not 100% our fault. It is barely 50% our fault. This is a natural occurence, we have just sped it up a bit. If you put more yeast in bread, it rises quicker. If you put too much, the bread will not rise. Same with the earth. We made the global warming speed up because of CO2. But if we put too much CO2, nothing scary will happen.
