Effects of Global Warming - [Closes 8/4/08]

[-:Undertaker:-]

Carbon emissions destroy the Ozone layer, which makes the Earth more vunerable to heat, melting the ice caps which will eventually lead to global floods.


Solution: Stop using CO2 gasses

Then explain how the other warming/freezing periods occured, because i'm pretty sure the animals millions of years ago didn't have factories. The ice caps will melt yes and they have been melting for thousands of years now as the ice age is coming to an end.

I heard something on Kerrang or Radio 1 (Can't remember) a while back about global warming. And one thing this scientist said made me think, and he is 100% correct. Global warming won't happen as bad as expected!

Okay, i'll explain... When you're in a bath, the water is quite high, because you're already in it. But when you get out, the water lowers, because you were part of the 'object'. So think of the ice caps, almost all of the ratio of ice is UNDER the water, so its already in there, so when it melts, it will stay the same. But wait, it actually goes lower! Everyone knows that ice is more dense than water, so when the ice melts into water, it drops in density.

I don't know, but its FACT that our ozone layer is being destroyed by CO2 gasses. Yes, it's going to be destroyed eventually anyway - it is extreamly difficult to live without using CO2 gasses, but if we don't cut down the destruction is going to increase at a rapid rate.

It's been happening for ages, a bit stupid to start worrying now.

[Ramones]

whether it's real or not, people should cut down, something that is real is that the worlds natural resources are going to run out eventually, i don't see a problem with government scaring people into using less.

We are only doing around 5% of the damage Example: If we give out 300million tonnes of CO2 gas a year 1 volcano can produce that in a matter of minutes , Theres volcanoes going off all the time (Underwater ones mainly)

Your lack of knowledge is so unbelievable.

Actually it's true that the Ice Age hasn't yet ended. If i'm lacking in knowledge then challenge me to a debate because so far all you have done is throw pathetic insults!

I beleive it is "Non Renewable Gases" CO2 is one type of gas - Carbon Dioxide so It cannot be used with the phrase "gasses"

Anyway.

Global warming is happening and will continue to happen. we can slow it down but we cannot stop it. One thing is certain though which is that we are not the ones that created global warming. I agree with someone in this thread though, we should try cutting back on the fossil fuels we use because we don't have enough to sustain the way we live.

Pro Nuclear! lol. It will keep us going for a while longer if we all switch to nuclear.

I have been for Nuclear for a while now since I stopped believeing all these liberals on BBC News. Nuclear Power is reliable, safe and efficent. If our country does not go Nuclear countries such as Russia will have total control over us in the future as they can decide when to cut us off.
