Scientists say global warming is destroying our planet. Did we cause global warming or is it part of life?
It's a bunch of crap in my opinion
But answering your question I think it's part of life.
Turning on a light or keeping your TV on can cause global warming, it's unlikely.
We obviously did cause Global Warming. Think of all the fumes and pollution the WHOLE world are letting into our atmosphere.
Its hard to deny that its just a coincidence that the temperature of the earth rises at the same time we put enviornmental-damaging pollutants in the air.
The governments have known about global warming for 50+ years and didnt do anything because they said it will cost too much the reason they are doing it now is because the natural fossil fuels are running out and global warming is going to cost the governments of the world trillions. Its our fault and i think we should do something to help stop as if the world gets 2 degrees warmer they think that it will be the end of the world. and thing year its expected to get .5 degrrees hotter. So how long have we got left?
I think my self that its a bit of both because millions of years ago the world was all frozen over [ice age] and it got hotter then and thats how we ended up like this i think its getting forced to speed up by the amount of fossil fuels we are burning up and fules and toxic gasses we are burning but i think it would of eventually happened anyway and i really cant imagian it all coming to be exactly like "the day after tomorow" the film
It's a load of rubbish.
The Earth has heated and cooled MANY times before, did you know in the middle ages we could grow Grapes outside?, were there any factorys then? No there weren't.
We didn't cause Global warming its actually been happening for millions of years way before humans even existed. As silly as it sounds dinosaurs even contributed to global warming by farting. As even more rediculas as it sounds there has been proof cows farting actually contributes. I do agree however pollution has made it worse.Quote:

we have coursed globle warming its pretty clear to see last 1000 years befor the last 150 years rise of 0.5 degrees last 150 years 0.5 degrees we started using coal, electricity was invented,we made cars and planes all in the last 150 years common! unless some1 really old is breeding more cows than they can eat its pretty obvious lol
and i think we're going to have to live with it untill we have no fossil fules left which isnt long thats unless we get to jupiter then we nackered more oil there to last us 1million years at the rate we're currently using it LOL
and you cant say its not getting warmer my grandad use to tell us storys of when the themes used to freeze over enuff to skate on thats not even 60 years ago
good luck great great grand kids me thinks
What the hell are you talking about? Grapes can still be grown outside. They're grown in factories now because they are grown faster and much better. Business society.Quote:

But that is different, all the dinosaurs could do is fart. Dinosaurs didn't build factories or anything, we do. EVERYWHERE. We are adding to Global Warming.Quote:

yeah its definitly happening because of us ;/

They have quite abit of evidence that in the creatious period before the dinosaurs were wiped out there was a LOT of global warming going on, there was gasseous vents everywhere, volcanos were spouting out gasses, there were even zones where the air was so thick with gass you'd die fairly quickly if you were a medium sized animal.

So look what happened then? Major whipe-out, started from scratch, if we're not careful the earth will a) not handle all the pressure and everything will collapse, b) the earth will "cleanse" itself by purging everything off the earth and starting anew.

This Global Warming is natural, the earth changes all the time.
Actualy both stances are right.
Global warming is NOT caused by humans. Global warming is a NATRUAL proccess. All where doing is MASSIVLY speeding it up.
No, global warming isnt the end of the world, the earth works in cycles. Carbon emssions build up, more and more heat builds up, more and more water evaoprates and is traped in cloud, earth drys out, But eventaly clouds get to hevey from to much water, and plumet back to earth, Rair water picks up the carbon and takes it with it, clearing out the green house gas's.
Now theres so little of em, the world freezes, we have an ice age. Becuse of lack of rain, carbon emissions start building up again. The cycle begins again.
Ok, so its natural? no problem, right?
WRONG. its a big problem, since although it wont destroy the world, its not going to do us any good. We are what is at risk of destrcution, Maybe we cant survive the exstream heats, maybe we can survive another ice age. But it aint gona do are specices alot of good, are population will plumit, humanilty willl likly risk exstinction "/
So speeding up this process is most definilty not good for us, we want it to be a slow as possible to give us more time to at least exist, if not become techniolgy serfisctated enough to survive the comming changes.
The Earth is on a Natural cycle all the time, mass extinctions wipe out the weaker animals so the earth's life can grow stronger, EG When the Dinosaurs went then Mammals appeared.
The part in bold doesn't make sense, it doesn't matter if we eat the cows, they'll still fart when they're alive. =/Quote:

I don't believe in this global warming like most people do, most people take it too seriously.
I'll take the Netherlands as an example (because I'm Dutch and I don't know anything about the other countries.)
Last year (2006) we had the hottest July and the wettest August for a long time, this doesn't prove to me that the earth is warming up a lot. Yes, we have had a really hot July, but not the hottest ever messured, the hottest every messured was like 70-80 years ago (can't remember when exactly.) We didn't have many cars back then, so the years after, the earth didn't warm up, it even cooled down, so maybe we're warming up now, to cool down at a later time.
Secondly, many people think global warming will be the end of the world. WRONG! It'll be the end of the wold as we know it, maybe even the end of humanity, not of the world. All the ice on the world might melt, bad for us, good for the sea creatures, they'll survive or change to survive (evolution), there'll probably still be land, not enough for all the humans and animals alive today, some will die, others will survive or change to survive. ;)

Youre right, the earth does change, and it has in the past, but those are extremely gradual periods. The ice age didnt happen overnight. But for some reason in the past mere 20 years (which is a second compared to the history of the earth) the ice caps have melted significantly. It isnt just a coincidence that when we pour toxins in the air, the earth warms up significantly.
I think its both in a way. Yes we do cause global warming due to cars and electricity and things. But its also not all down to us. Many people say that Earths going to change in the next 50 years because of global warming, but new discoveries are being made each day for example a water powered vehicle was made (unfortunately it cost a hell of a lot to make). What i'm basically saying is that we have our part in global warming but many of us are trying to stop it happening so its not all bad.

We hear on the news "This is the warmest summer on record", that doesn't mean it's our fault, for all we know there could have been 1 thousand other summers which were hotter than that, not every summer/winter is the same.
Actually people have been studying weather and recording temperatures for hundreds of years. There are records of my state's temperature from the past 200 years, and every time I get up our weatherman tells us a new one. Today we broke one again. Its 69 degrees out. In January.Quote:

Also, every time the earth warms up, it has a reason. Like massive amounts of volcanos (which obviously isnt quite happening is it?). So if youre denying that humans are doing it, you need to point to what is. It doesnt happen automatically.
Where not causing it, where just speeding it up.Quote:

I didn't say we were causing it, It won't wipe out the Human race as it will warm then cool very slightly etc as it's done since the beginning of the earth.Quote:

Still mentions tilt of the Earth.Quote:

I won't face it because it's just garbage, and in 20 - 30 years we'll all realise how much money we've wasted.Quote:

It wont be the rivers that flood, it will be oceans, and big cities are built on oceans because thats where mass transportation used to take place. Ships used to go on the ocean, so they built cities where the ports were. Get it?Quote:

I would've thought the Ice Age was a major climate change?
