Global warming do you believe it is as serious as they say.?

Question

What are some of your thoughts

Answer 1

I just watched the report on global warming on 60 minutes with a guy named Hanson being interviewed. According to this report will we be a goner within 1 century if we do not act now. What's worse, according to that report we will have to do something within the next 10 years or the green house effects cannot be reversed.

This report explained what happens to the polar bears at this time: polar bears prey on seals and they have to hunt them on ice because of their claws. They caught polar bears and put them on a scale: 55lbs less weight than they should have. In addition, the estimate is that they went from a po;ulation of about 1500 to less than 1000.



This report also claims that the Bush administration is editing scientific reports so that they will look less threatening.



I came from Europe to the U.S. 22 years ago. I saw the effects of carbon monoxide and other chemicals first hand. We had acid rain which destroyed almost 75% of our forests, and our rivers were so contaminated that you could develop a film in that water. I lived in a delta, and I saw the big foams of the river which was fed all sorts of chemicals from factories lining the banks. The tap water was not drinkable--we had to boil it first---and it left a whitish residue in the pot we used to boil the water.

The German government has learned from this and implemented strict environmental laws to help protect the environment.



Unfortunately, this administration does not believe in investing into our environment. A few months back American Electric Power was fined millions of dollars for not having catalysors on their chimney. The EPA is a joke when it comes to protecting our environment. The United States alone contribute 25 percent of the world's pollution the rest comes from China and Brittain.



Global warming is very real. All you have to do is pump carbon dioxide and other gases into a green house and then watch what happens. According to reports broadcasted in Russia past summer, will cities like New York City and St.Petersburg(former Leningrad)sink under water.

Answer 2

I believe that global warming is one of the most serious challenges facing us today. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations, we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases by using the technology, know-how, and practical solutions already at our disposal.

Answer 3

Yes, There is empirical evidence that it is occurring. The average yearly temperatures continue to increase. The polar ice caps are disappearing. It is in the best interest of the oil companies for you to think differently. There has been a campaign to make you think that it is not happening for example people are paid ten of thousands of dollars to disprove global warming. But these thinly veiled attempts are hard becoming harder and harder for the public to swallow when the evidence shows otherwise.

Answer 4

It was 2 degrees F this morning when I left for work, and the average is usually 22. Sorry, I don't buy into global warming.

Answer 5

YES, it is happening. The why is so much ice melting from the caps, north and south. the polar bears are already in trouble. they depend on the ice to survive. they are starting to have to swim many miles and they are not make for that. they can only swim a short distance and then they have to rest. don't forget about the other animals that depend on the ice for survival, like penguins. We need to do something about it. Just because it is 2 degrees when the average is 22 don't mean anything, it is just an AVERAGE.

Answer 6

Yes. Golobal warming is a threat that we need to take very seriously. We need to take action now to lower carbon emissions and fuel use, because soon it may be too late. Its taken at least a century to get us where we are now, and it will take us longer to 'fix' the problem. It is the people who are ignorant enough to deny Global Warming that are the major threat of the future.

Answer 7

Yes, but it's been warming and cooling for over 6 billion years.



In 1970, on the first Earth Day, they were protesting that the earth was headed for another ice age.....go figure..

Answer 8

Yes, artic animals are all becoming extinct. Like the polar bears. POLAR BEARS NEED A HOME TOO!

Answer 9

Ofcourse, if there is global warming, then the earth will come to an end, everyone SHOULD take it serious.

Answer 10

No, It's not as serious as they are trying to make everyone believe. We are in an interglacial period. And for people to believe that the Galciers aren't ever meant to melt, their insane.

Answer 11

Its a forewarning for timely amending inefficient flow sheets as well peaking levels of resource utilisation to reduce pollution levels within a fixed time frame irrespective of being in the developed or developing part of the globe.

thnks

Answer 12

I guess it is! I mean everybody is talking about it and you see it on the news all the time so....



I just hope it would stop and life would get back to normal!! Why is it that once we hit the two thousand mark (in years), everything all of the sudden once to start happening?

Answer 13

Man-made global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are ridiculous, but creationism should be taught in schools.

Answer 14

We are not causing it.



It isn't that significant anyway.



Global warming isn't even a bad thing.



We aren't going to affect it one way or another with policy designed to reduce emmissions.

Answer 15

Yes due to uncertain weather & all the water levels in the lakes are very low there has to be something to it

Answer 16

Science isn't something that needs to be believed, it is or is not.



Beliefs are best left to mystics and soothsayers.



It's as real as the Y2K bug was a problem.

Answer 17

I think it's serious...but we should all find a new energy source that doesn't pollute the earth anyways

Answer 18

yes!

because the polar regions ARE melting

and animals are dying (becoming extinct)



GLOBAL WARMING ISNT A MYTH

Answer 19

I do believe it is a serious.
