What do you think about global warming?

Question

I hear most of Asia won't be around in 25 years due to water rising. Since ice glaciers are breaking off and other countries will be affected like usa. If that is the case then my home town which is san diego will also be under water. Any thoughts?

TheSpaceGnome · Accepted Answer

There isn't enough ice water to do that to Asia. Coastlines will be underwater if all the ice melts (national geographic made a global map for if all the ice melted), but its not likely going to be all of it before the next iceage hits.

The climate is changing just has it has for centuries. Spending 100K on an electric car will not change anything.

RingOfFire · Answer

I think we have had record cold here where I live this year. It's the coldest I can ever remember.

I know I know I've heard it all. "That's weather it's not cliiiiimate."

Whatever.

The Earth has been going through warming and cooling cycles since it was formed billions of years ago. So obviously it is still going through those cycles. I don't think humans have much to do with it. They're too stuck up on themselves and full of themselves so they think that everything that happens in the universe is controlled by them.

That's the biggest joke of all.

I don't think we know anything about what's happening to the planet and I think at least half of the science is bullshit.

Have the scientists call me back when they can actually create life and have an actually plausible explanation for how the universe was created. Maybe then I might care what they have to say.

it is a real thing, it happens and it is accelerated and a bit worsened by human pollution. BUT, regarding earth's history, there have always been climate changes, periods where the alps were glacier free, sea levels were higher/lower etc. have existed before. We only have to adapt. It will be hard for poorer countries situated in zones where climate change effects hit the most, but thats just how it is.

Everything you see about "green politics", "emission trade" is doing practically nothing to stop it. Most of these are just for show, to give the world the idea, that your country or corporation is "good". Climate change is nowadys just a tool business, electric cars dont do anything good for the environment, they just got trendy because Musk started it with Tesla, other companies hopped on the hype train and used politics to make people feel good when buying. Wind turbines, EVs, the EU's green deal and emission trading are just useless, except for profits for some

wynning · Answer

It's happening and we have greatly influenced how much and quickly it's happening. Naysayers are in denial. But the average person can't do much to make a dent in the impact we as a species make on it. We'll just have to live with the consequences of our actions until we go extinct unless we get more desperate.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

I think it's hot ! I proceed, partially, like the Stoics, partially like the Epicureans. I can't do anything with the global aspects of... Global warming, that's out of my reach. But I can do something with my... Local warming. So I'm trying to strike a complicated balance between what I can do, what I can't, my comfort, ecology, my desire, my ethics, my stress, my peace, me, those who aren't me, the world.  It's complicated  🫨 But I don't want a simpler life, or views, my life is how I want it to happen. Also yes, again, it's fucking hot !

Fireguy17 · Answer

People tend to forget that a lot of the US was covered by glaciers millions of years ago, long before man was around and they melted.
What is happening today might still be part of that however there are places where the ice was melting have actually been adding ice.
Mother nature does not function in 10 or 100 year cycles.
She moves very very slowly so it can take 10s of thousands of years or even longer for cycles to change.
And just for your information, fill a glass half full of ice, and top off with water.
Set it on the counter until the ice is all melted.
I'll bet that the glass doesn't overflow on to the counter.

SamWinchester058 · Answer

We are actually on the tale end of a cooling period, which is why things are getting warmer. Are we affecting the planet with our pollution? Absolutely, but not on the scale that Al Gor and Bill Gates think we are. The sun is also playing a key role as our poles shift and the magnetosphere weakens. You are already seeing the affects of this in the low level solar storms that are having a greater affect than they would have in the past. What's wild is that these solar storms not only affect the planet but us as well. It might be a part of reason why the planet seems to be going a little nuts right now.

Anyways...

Always. Follow. The. Money. Tell me who stands to benefit from the climate change theory?

docster · Answer

It's just long term weather patterns. It was warmer during the Medieval Warming Period, which the radical Left is trying to erase from history. There are much more important things to worry about.

nightdrot · Answer

As a person who totally detests the Fall and Winter months, I am utterly in favor of global warming. Bring it on!!

My dream vacation: I'm laying on the beach. I'm in my swimsuit, getting a glorious tan. Maybe drinking a gin and tonic. As I lay there, I am feeding the penguins from my beach chair.

The palm fronds are swaying - in Antarctica!! Can't wait!!!

Hey, you asked!

Zack-Bann · Answer

Been saying “25 years” for 80 years

At some point we need to stop taking the “experts” word for things with 0 tangible proof.

Not saying global warming is a hoax
But people tend to use it to do some fear mongering to advance political agendas

Use your eyes not your ears

BCRanger10 · Answer

They'll say that same "25 years from now" thing again in 25 years when nothing happens.

SeekerOfTruth007 · Answer

That's just 400 years from now. People need to stop exaggerating, because it detracts from the real science. The water is only going to rise from about 20 inches to 48 inches over the next 100 years, depending on how much we keep polluting.

Now that's already a bad scenario, but it's a far cry from the worst case.

douride2 · Answer

25 years ago or so didn't they say New York city & most of Florida would be under water by now. My oldest brother told me back in the 60s scientist were saying we were headed for another ice age. By the way didn't they also change this global warming thing to climate change?

Staximus · Answer

The earth warms, the earth cools. It's been happening for a billion years. Geologists say we've had at least five ice ages, so the Earth had to get cold and then get warmer five times. In prehistoric dinosaur times the Earth was warmer than it is now. Then it got cold and all the big lizards kicked the bucket.

Shiprex · Answer

It's an unfortunate reality that there's a lot of gases pumped into the atmosphere at at rate that nature cannot cope with that allows heat arriving at the planet to be kept in the atmosphere longer and thus heating it up. It's a solvable problem but too many commercial interests throw their spanners in the national debate about what and where should things be done to mitigate the damage.

NicholasRedone · Answer

@jeff51 I try not to think about it during winter 👀🤭👀 it's winter here

Silver158 · Answer

Think it is a thing but don't think it's happening at the rate that's being "reported". I think it's being blown out of proportion to create an industry to make some small segment of the population a lot of money.

I specifically remember seeing a "report" on the news where a newscaster was outside in Spain or something saying "it's too hot for tourists because climate change. Apparently it's fine for journalists tho...

Phoenix98 · Answer

Global warming and global cooling are completely natural occurrences they've been happening long before humanity was ever around and they'll be happening after we're gone.

And there is a reason they happen.

WonderingManII · Answer

I'm kinda ok with the cities sinking. Humanity hasn't exactly been super nice to me.

Nothing. I know nothing is going to happen. Mankind are not in control of when things are earth end.

Sal_Monella · Answer

It's called The Weather in the real world. The earth's ambient temperature has always changed due to too many factors than crackpots can accommodate. It is the greatest cultural scam in human history.

Pohjolan · Answer

Man made global warming is at this point as well established as the earth being round.

Future generations won't look well at those perpetuating insanity the consequences of which they have to deal with.

It's inevitable. The sun is growing hotter and in a billion years it'll be so hot that it'll have boiled away the earth's oceans.

I read somewhere that instead of warming, the earth is gonna face a global cooling, soon where the sun becomes supernova and then freezes
