Globle warming

The climate crises is associated with co2, and we are the only ones who can save are planet.We need to act, we need to act now. For more information go to www.climatecrises.net. If you can switch from a car to jogging or a bike. You can even switch to energy efficient light bulbs. Switch to solar or wind or even hydro electric. Global Warming seems to be in the main stream media every day now. Despite the threats of melting ice shelves resulting in mass flooding, and temperatures that will destroy the earth environment as we know it, the BBC reports that we have had 10 years of cooling. Despite this, the debate rages. No one can dispute that Global Warming has produced a worldwide market for scientists and apologists that will lose a lot of money if Global Warming is found to not be true; the question is: is Global Warming Real or is it a myth being perpetuated by supporters of money swallowing policies such as the Kyoto Protocol and media giants? Finally, I’ve been waiting for this, My answer is that global warming is natural, but we as humans are definitely speed up the process of it. i mean, look at the 30’s, the Earth was heating up a LOT. But ten later years or so later, the Earth began to cool down.Gets popcorn, water, and Al Gore- This could get interesting….Greenhouse gases are natural, and they keep heat on the planet. Humans have been releasing more of these gases by burning fossil fuels and by deforestation. If there are more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, it is logical to assume that the earth will retain more heat and global warming will occur.Its really too bad that it can’t be looked at in a simple way like this because of what jfrater said, people make money off of it and therefore its the subject of controversy.Global Warming is an inane issue. What’s more important is the serious overpopulation, energy and natural resource problems which no seams to talk about.
Whether or not it is true, we have to seriously reconsider our relationship with the natural world and treat it with much more respect.I just want to go on record here and now and say that, regardless of whether or not global warming is a true phenomena happening at a dangerous pace, Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” was one of the worse, most sensationalist pieces of crap I’ve ever had the misfortune of watching. It was so poorly done, from a scientific standpoint, that it would turn any logical viewer with a background in the sciences off of caring about global warming.
i just don’t know anymore. i remember people saying that global warming was so bad that we are going to start to experience longer summers and shorter winters,………well i live in Chicago and the news was talking about seeing some snow next week,now we are in April and i’m still seeing snowflakes around my area. it seems to me that winter will just not go away. so like i said before i just don’t know anymore. but i can say that i’m looking forward to seeing every ones view’s,comments,and response’s.JT- Why do you think its inane?I agree with the rest of what you said, especially about overpopulation - its scary.JT: actually - I find the overpopulation thing interesting - the UN predicts that by 2050, the third world will have increased in population from 5 to 7 billion people - there is a LOT of land mass there - and great potential to feed them through good farming etc. (which is hindered often by corrupt governments). The UN also says that by 2050 the rest of the world population will remain unchanged. It seems to me that people who are worried about overpopulation are worried about an increase in births in mostly black nations - for most westerners this will have no effect on them. Why are we concerned about the growth in population in nations that have the natural resources to cope (presuming their governments sort things out)?oh - from what I just said, forgetting the third world for a moment - the rest of the world has a stagnant population - no growth or loss at all.i agree with Commons that it is a natural process(the earth has been getting gradually warmer since the end of the ice age some 11,000 years ago) but humans are releasing more greenhouse gases than the earth is prone to.For more on overpopulation check this out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O.....0s_to_2050
“The population of 51 countries or areas, including Germany, Italy, Japan and most of the successor States of the former Soviet Union, is expected to be lower in 2050 than in 2005.”
“Birth rates are now falling in many developing countries, while the actual populations in many developed countries would fall without immigration.”
“In 2000-2005, fertility at the world level stood at 2.65 children per woman, about half the level it had in 1950-1955 (5 children per woman). In the medium variant, global fertility is projected to decline further to 2.05 children per woman.”
That seems to suggest a loss in growth - not an increase.Does anyone who does not feel global warming is a real thing, believe that the excessive release of gases into the atmosphere is OK?I mean, fine, if you don’t think global warming is probable, but does it make it okay that these gases in the atmosphere are increasing? Something will happen if we just move forward in the same way, haphazardly, and not try to focus at least some of our energy on repairing our mistakes.It really makes me tired to hear people say “Oh its cold out today, wheres global warming now?” Hop in their SUV and crank the heat.And regarding overpopulation: just because the earth’s population is not increasing AS FAST, does not mean that it is not increasing. Where are we going to put all of these people, and what will they eat? Or should we just not care since they are in third world countries and our countries have stagnant populations? (is this what you mean jfrater?)I don’t want to be argumentative but people are so quick to dismiss environmental problems and it is a very real problem. I understand why too: no one wants to be told what to do, and environmentalists going around yelling at people and being radical just makes regular folk want to do the harmful things more, or at the very least stop listening and do what they want.Ooh, interesting topic! I think it’s a partly a natural process, but we’re doing a great job of making things worse. I kind agree with JFrater, that it’ll be a fad and we’ll be laughing about it 10 years from now on Vh1 shows. Kind of like Eleni no, ya know?*put Sorry i have a stuffed up nose
