Global WARMING??? - DerekPFleming - 01-25-2011
If we are truly experiencing "Global Warming" I bet the people in the Northeast are thankful....think how much worse it would be without "Global Warming"! hahaha
Re: Global WARMING??? - ConnieKScott - 01-25-2011
Are you talking about natural global warming (which we know for sure is happening), or man-made global warming (which is what most people are truly debating)?
Re: Global WARMING??? - JoshuaLHollars - 01-25-2011
It sounds more like global cooling.

Global warming does refer to the warming of the Earth as a whole, but the results of this does not simply restrict itself to everyone being "warmer". This warming of global temperatures also causes freak storms and erratic weather patterns. Meaning, very odd and cold winters and super-hot summers, in addition, giantic "super" storms--mostly hurricanes. Ones that may have the capability to wipe out the entire U.S. Tornadoes also fit under this category. There would be many, many of them. If you've seen "The Day After Tomorrow", that's what would happen. Not that quickly, but over time. So, it's not just reserved to the globaly "warming", it also affects weather patterns that have nothing to do with being "warm".

Hmmmm. Nope don't wanna think about it - you'd only have someone trying to skate down Niagara Falls instead of using a barrel.

Right now we are considered in an "ice age" Earth Warming depends on many factors such as the main factor pollutants. Deforestation, pollution, aerosols, desertification, el nino, el nina, Malenovich cycles, the earths axis all play major roles in the waming of this planet. However due to major pollution since the mid 1800's the earths temperature has increased by several degrees. In our lifetime we will not see MAJOR increases in temperature, but in the next hundred years your grandkids will see a major change in climate, temperature, and ozone layer. Skin cancer will be more relavent in people not just white people but skin colors from white to black. Ice burgs will melt, glaciers, and alpine frost will over flow down valleys, creating more mudslides, and the earth will be a lot more humid. You can expect more hurricanes, tornados, violent sea storms, more desert, and changing wind patterns. However, the earth is on a 20 year carbon delay, meaning we are only seeing the destruction to our atmosphere from 20 years ago. If we want to see the full effect what pollution has done up into the present day we would have to not pollute for 20 years to see its full effects. If we can use solar, hydro, and bio power, stop overpopulating, and consuming forests, we can drastically cut out CO2 emmissions and further slow down this process of global warming, hopfully one day reverse it.

Hate to say it, but the Global Warming thing is not as clear cut as people seem to think. While it is presented as being part of a general scientific consensus, the truth is that we only have about 100 years of data to go on to say that Humans are having any sort of impact on the climate.
Given that the Earth (and the sun, which is in a period of unusual solar activity right now) goes in cycles, it's probably irresponsible to go running around like Chicken Little and blame everything on humanity. Truth is, the Sun's hotter than normal solar flare activity is a main contributer to the warm up. This is a little known piece of data that is usually excluded fromt he debate.
The remaining warm-up may be humans, but it may not. We do know that the world goes through cycles. 1000 years ago, vikings were farming on greenland. Now their farms are all under ice. Perhaps global warming is just a natural cycle we're going through.
That's not to say we shouldn't be better stewards of the environment, but I'm getting tired of this "scientific consensus" crap that's based on uncertain data and projection that can't even predict what the weather will be like next week acurately, much less in 100 years. Heck, they were saying 2006 would be a terrible year for hurricanes. We didn't have a single one hit the USA. Go figure.
Let's do real science, not political granstanding... which is what I think the "Global Warming" thing we keep hearing about from politicians and the UN is really about.

that is so true
Re: Global WARMING??? - AaronWBoyd - 01-26-2011
is only warming, nothing come, how long the word exist. you think God He Want destroye it you creation.
Re: Global WARMING??? - RockofHelp - 01-26-2011
haha yeah. Thank god i live in the deep south in South Florida.

Global Warming is a horrifying and true matter. Global warming is happening and theres no way we can stop it but we can slow it down. By turning off or better yet un-plugging the things we are not using! Global Warming will bring odd,& scary climate changes to everyone around the world that will catch everyone by surprise,if we do not do some thing to slow it down! It is already affecting our food resources. It is freezing our crops & soon we will have food outerges.slowly the earth will heat up to a point that no one will be able to live in this horrifying climate.PLEASE HELP slow down GLOBAL WARMING!!!!
Re: Global WARMING??? - ShortforDionysus - 01-27-2011
no we are not thankful. i live in new york (northeast) and GLOBAL WARMING is not a happy thing so don't laugh this can destroy the earth
