What's the biggest problem with global warming?

Question

like i know global warming is a big issue but what is mostly causing it?

Answer 1

the burning of fossil fuels that make carbon dioxide which builds up in the atmosphere/troposphere and traps more of the heat warming the earth and is called the enhanced greenhouse effect. I know more so if you need more, just ask me



Scientists actually discovered that the oceans been getting warmer by looking at coral rings/growths which have been getting wider which means it getting warmer. same with tree rings



Yes, the greenhouse house effect has been going on for ages, but we've enhanced it and made it worse

Answer 2

The media is the biggest cause of everything. Yes we are affecting global warming but the media makes it sound like we are doomed which we aren't in my opinion. Look back at the year 2000 when all these scientists said a big meteor was going to hit earth and we would all be wiped off the planet and the Y2K big spiel. Well 8 years later hmmmm... Still no meteor or Y2K. Also if you are a bible reader (no offense to non believers ) Global warming was happening all the way back since the time of Adam and Eve.

Answer 3

If we can't explain it, It must be human-induce

The fact is, science doesn't understand why these natural climate variations occur, and can not reliably distinguish between natural and possible human influences on global temperatures. So, if scientists have no other natural explanation for a warming trend, they tend to assume that it is manmade.



For instance, you might have heard claims to the effect that no peer-reviewed scientific study has refuted the claim that global warming is manmade. Well, there have indeed been some papers that have at least questioned the theory that our current warmth is manmade....but the publishing of alternative explanations is hindered by the fact that our long-term global climate observations (e.g. of cloud characteristics) are not good enough to measure the small changes that might offer an alternative explanation for our current warmth.



Science can not deal with what we can not measure. But scientists could at least admit to incomplete knowledge -- unfortunately, most of them do not.



I can not overemphasize this -- the theory that our current warmth is manmade is largely the result of not having good enough global observations over a long enough period of time to rule out natural causes. Therefore, the current widespread support for the theory of manmade global warming is NOT because the alternative explanations have been ruled out. It is because our poor understanding of natural climate variability does not yet permit alternative explanations to be investigated thoroughly.



Thus, while it is indeed possible to explain much of the warming over the last 100 years with manmade greenhouse gas increases, this is only one possible explanation -- one that necessarily ignores or minimizes any natural sources of temperature variability.





As a result, our worries that global warming is manmade are directly related to how much faith we have that natural climate variations (for instance, a small decrease in low-level cloudiness) are not substantially contributing to our current warmth. Some scientists who believe in manmade global warming have asked me, "But what else could be causing the warmth?" Note that this is arguing, not from the evidence, but from a lack of evidence.



There is an old saying, "When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." Well, manmade global warming is our hammer, and so every change (nail) we see in the climate system gets attributed to mankind.

Answer 4

The stuff that comes out of an airplane. Think of how many gallons of fuel that takes to power one. How many airplanes fly through the air a day? How many in a year? Do you know how much pollution that puts in the air. Even if it is a quicker way to travel we need to find a better replacement for airplane fuel. I think this would help us cut back on global warming.

Answer 5

It is mostly the natural cycle of the earth, this is not disputed. The question is is man's impact enough to push it over the edge to a point of no return or not. This is highly debated, despite what is taught in schools, reported in the media, and what most of the public recognizes. My point is don't just accept what people tell you. With anything for that matter. Look at both sides, which one side might be a little harder to find good information on, then i would love to talk with people about it.

Answer 7

the biggest issue with global warming is the lying. the globe isnt warming. even if it were, you cant stop it.

Answer 8

Co2 is the most common factor. What happens is that it thickens our atmosphere. Then, when the sun comes in, it is trapped rather than fully bouncing back out, allowing for the general temperatures to rise.

Answer 9

Garbage,& pollution...are the two main causes. Just think about how much garbage is picked up in your neighborhood once a week..now multiply that across America...where does it all go? dump sites, barges, incinerators...all the filth of our world's garbage piling up over years and years...think about it.

Answer 10

Many things, they are all a problem. But the one that is mostly causing the problem is not recycling. Not recycling causes green house gases to block the sun's heat and rays from going awauy. It burns holes in the atmosphere that lets heat and sunlight in.

Answer 11

Not people that's for sure. It's a crock.

NASA scientists studied the bottom of the ocean and actually discovered it's getting colder.

GW is a load of CRAP!

Answer 12

probably the carbon dioxide acting as a greenhouse

Answer 13

Irrational hysteria.

Answer 14

People are not adaptable to something that is not the same old same old

Answer 15

it is so HOT in her so we should take our clothes off like usher say in his song. lol im so funny

Answer 16

Simplest answer for you is.... people.
