What is your opinion on global warming?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

It's a fact. Sea temperature is warming. Sea levels are rising. The hydrologic cycle, wind patterns and climate zones are changing. Climate is being effected. If one looks at the science, there's no question that human activities are responsible for the rapid changes.

CO2 is only one factor. The Earth's ecosystems can absorb CO2, except we are destroying the Earth's ability to do so by bull dozing forests, grass lands, wetlands, and especially tropical rain forests.

As temperatures in some regions rise, methane that has been captured for thousands of years in the soil and under ice is released. Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.

All this activity creates a feedback loop that, at some point, becomes impossible to stop.

If people don't think humans can effect the climate enough to create climate change, I wonder if they thought it would ever be possible to kill our oceans. Yep. We've just about accomplished that in the past 100 years.

It most definitely exists and the scientific basis for it goes all the way back to a paper by Nobel Prize winning chemist, Svante Arrhenius in 1896.
www.bbvaopenmind.com/.../

This is the original 1896 scientific journal article:
www.rsc.org/images/Arrhenius1896_tcm18-173546.pdf

On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground
Svante Arrhenius
Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science
Series 5, Volume 41, April 1896, pages 237-276.

There is concrete evidence that the planet is warming faster than it should thanks to human intervention such as the destruction of important ecosystems (wetlands for instance), development of technology that outputs dangerous chemicals etc. Global warming is simply ONE symptom of anthropogenic climate change.

It Real We’re seeing as it happens. Some people wanna stick their heads in the sand act like it’s not their just to turn a profit.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

We are approaching summer so I am against it. In the late autumn, I will be in favor of it.

Phoenix98 · Answer

A lot of people fail to realize and understand that global warming and cooling is actually a natural and necessary process and is something that has been happening long before humans ever had the capability to affect the climate in any kind of negative way. Something confirmed by quite a few climate scientists who aren't bias or bought and paid for by politicians.

Think about it, all the anti-global warming people will say that the water levels rising is bad but is it? The coral reef thrives in high water levels and actually requires it to survive because it can only thrive and grow in higher water levels, low water levels actually kill the coral reef and restrict it's growth.

Polar environments and species require global warming for polar regions and species to expand and grow. And this is not only so that can have environments to survive in but also so their numbers can increase. But this serves a secondary purpose which is so that they have enough land and numbers to survive global warming periods where warm/tropical environments and species can do the same thing as the polar/cold ones did.

If you actually go back and look at history you can find quite a few examples of global warming and global cooling periods that happen every X hundred years and last for a X amount of years. It's necessary to maintain balance in the environments and eco-systems so that one type of environment doesn't overtake the other and wipe out the other.

Lolz it doesn't matter what I think. It's happening, and humans are the reason.

Full disclosure: I used to work on a research team at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). So I guess I'm one of these lucky people who got paid to pull off a global conspiracy.

Jackblue · Answer

It exists, though from what I can tell the effects nowadays are mostly positive, eventually things will turn negative, but by that time I feel we will have developed alternative energies especially nuclear fusion. Some gas taxes are good, but I don't believe that we should drastically change our way of life. Some people seem to not only believe that global warming will end the world as we know it, but actually want it to. Movies these days promote post-apocalyptic wildness as if it was a good thing.

strateguy632 · Answer

Lolz it doesn't matter what a million "opinions" It's NOT happening. There is no "opinion." No matter how much news company say it, the numbers showed most days each month are "not warmer" than historical average which is why accuweather changed its website!

It’s a fact that Global Warming is not global nor warming. Even ONE place not warming refuted the part "global"... also look at years, most years are NOT WARMER than preceding year... no matter how often you hear the lie. See the facts.

Check historical average like i did... but you can't because accuweather hid daily historical average!

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Is global warming real? Yes i believe it is  Scientific consensus is overwhelming: The planet is getting warmer, and humans are behind it.

Anonymous · Answer

It's a very good thing if you're smart and think ahead. Some places will be underwater some places whether would change a lot where the people won't like it anymore other places weather is going to greatly benefit.

Take for example the last time the climate change the Sahara Desert used to be a tropical paradise pretty much all the deserts are going to become tropical again.

So if you own land in the desert and it becomes tropical and all this other Land is damaged or underwater or experiencing hurricanes all the time you make it a 100 times return

IeatChickenandFish · Answer

Global warming does exist BUT not in the way people see it.

Global warming is something we as a human race DO contribute to, but on a scale that is a billionth of a decimal.

What is causing it? Its just nature, why do you think the ice age came? Was it because the apex animals of that time contributed to it? No. Earth has gone through thousands maybe millions of changes, and we are just witness to ONE.

This topic has been going on for decades, and decades more to come.

In all senses, the people talking about it are scamming you to pay more taxes because they are elitist pos. They don't know the science around it, nor do the people they are telling it to, hence why the phrase "fear is the salesman" is so true.

buttcrackjoe · Answer

Hundreds of years of greenhouse gas emissions don’t just disappear. We can thank the oceans for absorbing a lot of it for us. We are doing better with PV becoming cheaper and more mainstream. Eventually we will figure out how to be carbon neutral we humans are the best animals when it comes to manipulating nature to our whim to solve problems. Better to take steps to protect the earth regardless of your belief in anthropogenic climate change.

mattdzz · Answer

All these talking head ideologues, who haven't done a thing but reiterate the talking points of scientists, who are reiterating the views of other scientists, ad infinitum.
I believe it does exist, but is far more a natural cycle than caused by humane activity, but just in case we should take steps towards curtailing this including cutting the birthrate in India and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Anonymous · Answer

I will freely admit that I haven’t done much research on the subject but I think it says something about it if scientists have predicted global warming to have a devastating effect happen at least fifteen years ago the first time and kept bumping it up every five years and here we are not destroyed.

It also says something if politicians nowadays started calling it climate change as if to imply that it could be warming or cooling. The fact that they can’t keep their story straight kinda says something.

You can’t keep everyone from leaving a carbon footprint without compromising the technology we have created that greatly expanded our life expectancy, it’s impossible. If it’s real it’s probably gonna happen anyway.

Also, is it bad that I don’t care? It’s probably because I lost my will to live a while ago. If anything watching the world end might be the most exciting thing I will ever experience.

Oh jizz. When I saw the question, I was expecting an opinion on how to tackle it not whether it exist or not!

RawIronhide · Answer

I think that turm is a misnomer, climate change due to carbon emissions is more accurate. I don't know to what extent humans are accelerating the neggitive affects but I don't think it's disputable thate there are accelerating affects.

Anonymous · Answer

Big BS to charge everybody more tax.

There is other proven theory why it is happening, that nobody talking about as there is no more money in forced taxes in there and it makes all global warming big scam BS.

Just look at biggest polluters, they are not interested in all that and do not even supporting it.

JayParris · Answer

Sums up my opinion pretty well

Phanta · Answer

Global warming certainly exists. It's probably better to call it climate change. However, it is not posing such as speedy threat as many Democrats make it out to be. That causes many Republicans to deny the reality of climate change.

Anonymous · Answer

Now I know most people out there see it on the news all the time so they believe Global Warming is real 100% but I am skeptical because years ago scientists said it was Global Cooling and the opposite was happening. Scientists today are saying ridiculous things like there are 99 genders so that makes scientists way less truthworthy for all we know it could just be the weather.

Anonymous · Answer

I think it is real but it is also blown out of proportion to get attention drawn to it and the nutty fixes the Left wants.

The high end increase in the seas in 2100 was said to be 3 feet or 1 meter. Now they want to make it double that as it would impact many more people. This is done for effect and attention.

It has 2 sources. The sun getting bigger and air pollution. We banned CFCs and that helped but we need to plant more trees if we are going to continue with just dumping our waste products in the air.
