Ecoble: Is Global Warming Fact or Fiction?

  • curt · 1 year ago
    I think, that simplicity of the term 'global warming' is just perfect. Every body could understand it, not only a very narrow class of scientific society.
    'Global understanding' of this very fact of 'global warming' and its regular comprehension in an average human mind are two conditions, which should be achieved as naturally as possible, if we wanted to address these real threats and real global changes, which are happening every day around the globe.

    i don't like global warming as much as the next guy, but i think that it is a natural thing that will eventually happen anyways. as for people say that global warming needs to be stopped... i belive that they are wrong. The earth has already gone into, and out of ice ages before industries and greenhouse gasses were a problem. Yes, i understand that they are speeing up the process, but, how far were we from it in the first place? i am all for reducing emissions, and saving the ozone, but when people are flipping out about how they need to be stopped right now....just chill....nature will take its course, and that will be that, wether we impact it or not, the glaciers will melt, the climate will change, and the world will still keep spinning. i bet by the time we get in trouble with climate change, we will have already polluted our land with so much garbage, and chemicals, that it will become impossible to grow crops, food proces will rise, people will starve, and life will be a struggle. and if we do not pollute our land to the point of infertility, we will over populate the earth and still end up with people strving, prices rising duie to high demand, and life will again be a struggle.

    When you talk about when global warming effects take place the world will not "keep spinning" as far as human life is concerned, and if we start changing now we won't have to worry about the world being so polluted that it can't produce crops. There is more than one aspect to going green and preserving the earth for as long as we can, its not just so the earth doesn't flood but instead its so we can rebuild the ozone so UV radiation from the sun doesn't make it to Earth causing skin cancer as soon as it touches you. Even if it isn't real and the scientist that dedicate there whole lives to researching it to protect people such as yourselves who do not even appreciate it, people that just mock theses scientist and call them lairs, even if those scientist are dead wrong at least we protected ourselves instead of just ignoring it. Wouldn't you rather be safe, with a cleaner planet, than dead and no planet?

    "Doesn't anyone remember that back in the 70s when our parents were getting fed from the so-called experts that there is a new 'Ice Age' coming. Now they’re aspiring for this generation to believe that the reverse is happening. Our parents didn’t buy it then, and there children shouldn’t buy it now. It seems pretty arrogant to suggest that our planet, which has been around for longer than we can imagine, can not take care of itself. Yes, the climate has changed, and will continue, to change. It is natural. At one point in time, most of the earth was ice. At another point, it was covered in water. At some point, it was hotter than you know what. We need not be careless, but I think the extremist-alarmist-environmentalists are a bit off. Mother Earth is capable of taking care of herself — Volcanoes, hurricanes, tsunamis and other anomalies are her weapon. All the earth is experiencing are the cycles it has been going through since it's creation. The Earth warms up some, then cools down some. In other words the temperature will fluctuate over time. Nobody really knows how many times the earth has frozen and thawed. There are speculations by scientists, but these scientists are also paid by the contracts and grants that allow them to keep doing research. All we have is the scientist's speculation, whose very bread and butter come from research on subjects like global warming."

    I don't think that there is enough evidence to prove that global warming is real. They talk about this hole in the ozone layer, however the astronauts who have been to space and then interviewed have not seen a hole. I think it is a way of life, we are only speeding up the processing, thats all.

    None of the links above (Is Global Warming Real? 5 Proofs That Urge Action20 Amazing Images Attributed to Global Warming10 Ways to Support Charity Through Social Media ) include any facts or hard scientific evidence to support a man made climate change. The above is just a bunch of pictures and opinions or theories.
    Climate change is happening every minute of every day and has since the beginning of time. It called the weather.
    The only man made issue here is the fake suggestion man is responsable for a temperature rise. All started by Al Gore (remember him? He invented the internet)
    Every body beleiving this, is like a bunch of Chicken Littles for the benifit of government cap and tax and Al Gore's new industry, carbon credits. (Like he needs it due to the intenet invention doing so well) Our and many others have taxed every conceivable tangable item they could think of. There is nothing else to tax, well, now they can tax the weather.
    Here are some liks with real scientific facts and figures if you really want to know.
