what do you think about global warming?

Jonelle Eligio: Global Warming is rally scary because around 2060 everything is gona run out of gas, natural gas, electricity (i can't live without this) and last of all no FOOODDDDD!!! ( cooked meat) THAT WOULD BE SCARY!!!!!

Leann Villalta: We're gonna die!!!! haha LOLz ;)

Miguel Koczela: There are many basic scientific facts which can only be explained if the current global warming is being caused by an increased greenhouse effect due to carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere from humans burning fossil fuels.For example, the planet is warming as much or more during the night than day. If the warming were due to the Sun, the planet should warm a lot more during the day when the Sun has influence. Greenhouse gases trap heat all the time, so they warm the planet regardless of time of day. Another example is that the upper atmosphere is cooling because the greenhouse gases trap the heat in the lower atmosphere. If warming were due to the Sun, it woul! d be warming all layers of the atmosphere.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiYUr... We know it's warming, and we've measured how much:http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/recenttc_... Scientists have a good idea how the Sun and the Earth's natural cycles and volcanoes and all those natural effects change the global climate, so they've gone back and checked to see if they could be responsible for the current global warming. What they found is:Over the past 30 years, all solar effects on the global climate have been in the direction of (slight) cooling, not warming. This is during a very rapid period of global warming.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6290228.stm http://www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk/media/proceedings_a... A recent study concluded:“the range of [Northern Hemisphere]-temperature reconstructions and natural forcing histories…constrain the natural contribution to 20th century warming to be http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/104/10/3713 You can! see this in the third graph here, where the dotted lines are ! just from natural causes, and the full lines are natural + human causes:http://www.pnas.org/content/vol104/issue10/images/... If that’s not enough to convince you the Sun isn’t responsible, consider the fact that no scientific study has ever attributed more than one-third of the warming over the past 30 years to the Sun, and most attribute just 0-10% to the Sun.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApEBL... So the Sun certainly isn't a large factor in the current warming. They've also looked at natural cycles, and found that we should be in the middle of a cooling period right now."An often-cited 1980 study by Imbrie and Imbrie determined that 'Ignoring anthropogenic and other possible sources of variation acting at frequencies higher than one cycle per 19,000 years, this model predicts that the long-term cooling trend which began some 6,000 years ago will continue for the next 23,000 years.'"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycle#Th... http://www.scien! cemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/207... So it's definitely not the Earth's natural cycles. They looked at volcanoes, and found thata) volcanoes cause more global cooling than warming, because the particles they emit block sunlightb) humans emit over 150 times more CO2 than volcanoes annuallyhttp://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/Gases/man.html So it's certainly not due to volcanoes. Then they looked at human greenhouse gas emissions. We know how much atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased over the past 50 years:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mauna_Loa_Carbo... And we know from isotope ratios that this increase is due entirely to human emissions from burning fossil fuels. We know how much of a greenhouse effect these gases like carbon dioxide have, and the increase we've seen is enough to have caused almost all of the warming we've seen over the past 30 years (about 80-90%). You can see a model of the various factors over the past century here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wi! ki/Image:Climate_Change_... This is enough evidence to convince almost ! all climate scientists that humans are the primary cause of the current global warming....Show more

Soraya Coodey: I'm concerned that the damage to the environment is irreversible!!!

Palmira Lochridge: It is generally beneficial. There are obvious benefits. The negative consequences have been grossly exaggerated by those with an agenda. It is far better to warm than to cool. The climate is not static, meaning it constantly changes over time. Let's hope for continued warming as long as it doesn't get too warm which I personally am not worried about. I am more worried about cooling at this point.

Aldo Decurtis: I know what George Bush thinks, nothing.I think, it's a crisis.But... in the chinese word crisis, the next symbol means "opportunity."There's still a chance we can stop Global warming, we have an opportunity.

Adrian Paraz: skeaghanLet me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient w! ith 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 li! ke alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, e! tc)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 le! ngth 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 & glaciersFloods & droughtsGreat hurricanes & cyclonesSeasonal extremesSeasonal phenomena’sSpecies extinctionNew & resurgent diseasesThere 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 orwww agua-luna comHope 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 willi! ng to walk you step by step threw the process.

Lynn Melbourne: In a few short years "global warming" will go the way of the Y2K fears. The Sun is cooling down, and we're now entering into a period of global cooling.

Tereasa Sorensen: it would be nice to generally cut down on carbon monoxide or whatever that 'bad' gas is. were not ! causing global warming tho. the earth goes through cycles-think about the ice age-the earth fixed itself from that it can fix itself now.
