Will global warming eventually end the world???

No, but it may bring about the end of the world as we know it for a very long time.

“CapNemo” likes to go to all the global warming questions and paste in a statement pooh-poohing the threat.

He says it’s only increased by 1 degree (F) in 125 years. This is a misleading number, because it is a global average: land and sea. We don’t live in the middle of the ocean and that’s not where the polar ice caps are melting. The temperature change over land surfaces has been twice that, and most of it in the last 40 years.

The truth is that those 2 degrees are HUGE in the scale of average weather change. But the real problem is the speed of change and that it's accelerating. Scientists are predicting a temp 4 to 8 degree (F) increase over the next 75 years. “This may not sound like a great deal, but just a fraction of a degree can have huge implications on the climate, with very noticeable consequences." ((http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/U/ukweather2080/5_predicting.html ). Yes, scientists predict, that's their job. They've gone to school years more than we have and spent their lives studying this stuff. This representrs humanity’s BEST GUESS at where this is all going. Of course, you can believe it snows in hell, or any other stupid thing you want. No one can stop you from believing what you'd rather hear, than what is the most probable outcome.

From a book published by Harvard University Press: "In 2001 a panel representing virtually all the world's governments and climate scientists announced that they had reached a consensus: the world was warming at a rate without precedent during at least the last ten millennia, and that warming was caused by the buildup of greenhouse gases from human activity." ((http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/WEADIS.html )

NASA says, "the general consensus among scientists is that global warming is real and its overall effects are detrimental" ((http://eospso.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp_docs/Global_Warming.pdf , page 6 )

In fact, it is so detremental that the Attorney General of California has filed suit against the 6 auto manufacturers and 5 utilities here in CA. ((http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/cms06/06-082_0a.pdf?PHPSESSID=bcafe4e63eecea93153f25e6fe5bc9ba , http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/release.php?id=709&year=2004&month=7&PHPSESSID=5fa0700eb86a845983a94e26ab86a46e ) for ignoring the IPCC statements, stating in the lawsuit, "Defendants knew or should have known, and know or should know, that their emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases contribute to global warming and to the resulting injuries and threatened injuries to California, its citizens and residents, environment, and economy."

"CapNemo" is touting “A Skeptic’s Guide to Debunking Global Warming Alarmism” compiled by United States Senator James Inhofe, as a reason to ignore the global warming threat. "The contributions Inhofe has received from the energy and natural resource sector since taking office have exceeded one million dollars." ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Inhofe There really is very little controversy in the scientific community on this issue. There's a small handful of vocal people, many of whom have strong ties to the oil industry ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Global_warming_skeptics ) who are keeping the debate alive.

Here's a documentary showing "how fossil fuel corporations have kept the global warming debate alive long after most scientists believed that global warming was real and had potentially catastrophic consequences”. (The Denial Machine: http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/denialmachine/index.html )

About the bogus volcano issue, "Human activities release more than 150 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of nearly 17,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea (Kilauea emits about 13.2 million tonnes/year)!” http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/VolGas/volgas.html

---------------------

EDIT: "CapNemo" is so dishonest. He misquoted the wikipedia entry (moving a quotation mark, so as to give the impression that the Senator's words were wikipedia's words. The whole paragraph reads, "In a July 28, 2003 Senate speech, he "offered compelling evidence that catastrophic global warming is a hoax. That conclusion is supported by the painstaking work of the nation's top climate scientists." He cited as support for this the 1992 Heidelberg Appeal and the Oregon Petition (1999), as well the opinions of numerous individual scientists that he named (although most climate scientists, as represented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), now believe that climate change is an existing phenomenon)" -- Please note WIKIPEDIA'S conclusion at the end that it is NOT a hoax!

Nope, I don't think I know everything. But I did support myself in college as an undergraduate by grading physics exams and I do have a lot of respect for the scientists that have spent years studying this and very little respect for those who have sold out to oil money. I'm not sure what CapNemo's motive is, but mine is that I have 2 kids that I'm going to leave behind after I'm gone and I want them to be able to enjoy life.

Yes, "capnemo". As you as you continue to present lies and half truths, I will continue to follow you with the facts. Get used to it, buddy.

But don't feel singled out. Wherever I discover the lack, I'm doing my best to hold people to a standard of intelligence, honesty and substantiation.

========== Edit, 1/26 ===============

It is dishonest to remove a quotation mark when copying something, especially when that removal changes the meaning. Look at the source again and you will see the quote mark you omitted. But if you want to say that calling someone on their dishonesty is name-calling, go right ahead, no one can stop you.

I mention the good Senator's ties to the oil industry in order to show where his bias originates. No one thinks the Sierra club is unbiased and I have not used Sierra club information. My sources are from the likes of NASA, Harvard University and USGS. As Upton Sinclair once said, "It's impossible to make a man understand something when his livelihood depends on him not understanding it."

But really, the two paragraphs above are completely unnecessary. What I wrote stands on its own merits. Your failure to understand or pretended misunderstanding is simply mind-boggling. It makes me realize that Sinclair could have just as well said - It's impossible to make a man understand something when his religious belief system depends on him NOT understanding. I'd be embarrassed to do what you're doing here in a public forum.

========= 1/27 Edit ============

Well, once again, CapNemo has removed the stuff I called him on. I guess he was embarrassed about it after all.

But I'm curious why he still claims that he didn't remove the quotation mark in the text he copied. If he didn't do it, who did? Does he think Yahoo! Answers removed it?

Global warming will certainly not end the world, but it may have an impact on life over the next 50-200 years. Being great survivors, and living in a temperature range between as low as -40C and as high as 30C and more, the human species is extraordinarily adaptable.

The main problem is likely to be among plant and animal life, which of course has implications for the human animal which relies upon them, and the inherent balance thereof.

As "ftm pools" knows, there is a great deal which can and perhaps should be done to reduce the effects; not only of potential global-warming, but the more immediately pressing problems of waste, chemical pollution and the depletion of precious resources.

If effort were concentrated on the latter problems, the chances are that the potential problem of global-warming might be addressed at the same time.

Even if the sceptics of global-warming turn out to be right, they cannot deny the other effects of over-consumption, and it is in the interests of everyone, including capitalist investors, to move towards a greener and rather better world than the one we are strangling and abusing at the present time.

What no-one should welcome is "Green terrorism," which would be disruptive and financially ruinous. This is what could happen if it is left to politicians alone, when in reality, a balanced and well-informed concensus would include scientists, technologists, industrialists and financiers. Forward planning could result in a better and more certain future, if the right and prudent decisions are delivered in a controlled and orderly manner.

I worry that by overemphasisng the possble "case" of global-warming, we may be increasing the overall dangers to which the planet is exposed, and which give rise to far greater immediate concerns.

The last thing we need is pseudo-science and pseudo-economics such as the Stern Report contains, and which the impending IPCC report is likely to contradict.

No. Once the ice caps have melted enough the gulf stream will be so compromised that it'll send us back into a mini ice-age, cos it's the gulf stream that keeps a large chunk of the globe temperate.
Answered By: redrobin - 1/25/2007
Absolutely not. The earth naturally warms and cools itself; it has for millions of years. As it does so, the face of the earth changes greatly. Oceans rise and fall, volacanoes become more or less active, species flourish and die off. Life on the planet may be in jeopardy during these shifts, but adaptation allows some species to survive (not all). The gloabal warming we are experiencing now is natural, except that we as humans are contributing to a faster warming curve than is natural. It means that the earth will warm faster than in the past, and species will have less time to adapt then they have in the past. But in the end, life will survive, as will the planet. In fact, as much as we cannot imagine it, humans will probably be extinct long before this world ends.
Answered By: Dan - 1/25/2007
NO, not at all, at worst it will displace hundreds of millions of people from low lying cities.

i think a recent british piece of research said tempertaures could rise by as much as 4degrees C in next hundred years (which is a lot) if so we need to think about adapting NOW.
Answered By: wave - 1/25/2007
No if you look at the science - what will happen is the warming will produce more moisture (rain) which will in turn cool the earth back down
Answered By: amyholcomb - 1/25/2007
I doubt it very much.Nature has a way of healing itself if left alone.Global warming at the moment is blamed on our carbon emissions,according to scientists unless we cut our emmissions the ice caps will melt causing massive amounts of flooding,and the global temperature will rise considerably.If these two things happen and are taken to their conclusion then man will be wiped out (or virtually). If man is wiped out or seriosly reduced then our emmissions will naturally be smaller or non existant and nature will recover on her own.So the answer is yes the human race could be wiped out but the chances of the world ending due to global warming are non existant. (more likley to be hit by a massive comet or pulled into the sun)
Answered By: CHRIS P - 1/25/2007
Not end it but change it as we know it. The earth has been through global warming before, the earth has naturally in pre history gone through dramatic climate changes that have change the map of the world. Earth will continue to change but unlike dinosaurs and large woolly mamals we can change and adapt with it.
Answered By: fudge - 1/25/2007
No. Global warming is a natural process.
We're just speeding it up.

Plus the hole in the o-zone layer is getting smaller.

Plus, when the poles melt, the strong convection currents in the oceans slow right down, shifting less of the warm water to the poles, which allows them to cool, bringing the whole process back around again.

This isn't quick though, so although the world will save itself, it'lll take quite a few years.

Global Warming? Hell No!!
We're in the middle of an ice age, in 100 000 years time, this big ball will freeze over again! The only thing that will destroy earth is the sun when it dies (will swell up and swallow all planets as far as jupiter).
Human's aren't helping global warming but it's a natural process.
Answered By: maffyb_88 - 1/25/2007
Well, yes of course -- but not in the way you may believe! You see, a few billion years from now, our Sun will expand due to the depletion of its fuel. This expansion will, according to scientists, make the sun so large, that it will engulf the first three planets. (About this time, Mars will be looking pretty good!)
As for the type of global warming hysteria that Al Gore wants us to believe --- it is not accurately portrayed. A quick look in science textbooks should reveal that we have had ice ages in the past and periods of warm also -- several times.
Also, consider this. MONEY. There is much more money to be made with book deals, government grants, TV appearances, etc. if you are willing to say man is causing GW, --- as soon as a scientist "voices skepticism", the scientists who have hopped on the GW bandwagon, shun him -- and label him a "Non-believer" You know what this means-- when the main stream media does a story on global warming they will avoid talking to anyone who has an opinion that doesn't support their political agenda.

Answered By: strawbarrycheey - 1/25/2007
Far from it. The global average temp was as much as 10 degrees Celcius hotter than now about 60 million years ago, and the CO2 concentration in the air was possibly 10 times the current levels. Even if we continue to abuse the atmosphere, most forcasts will only get us to about a 5 degree change.

The earth did not end 60 million years ago, and is unlikely to end in the near future due to a smaller temp change. There will be major stresses on the environment and human economy due to Global warming but it is nowhere near the "END" of the world.
Answered By: Dr Fred - 1/25/2007
No, you needn't worry about that. The temperature of the earth has only increased about 6/10 of 1 degree (C) from 1880 to 2005. That is an increase of about 1 degree (F) in 125 years. Source: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/2... You may choose to believe that is global warming or you may not.

If you do think it's happening there is a site from the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that will answer all your questions. It's 58 pages long so it'll take a few seconds to load, but well worth reading. Here's the site: http://epw.senate.gov/repwhitepapers/6345050 Hot & Cold Media.pdf

When someone says, "the sky is falling" don't believe everything you hear on either side of the issue. There are Spin Doctors galore out there.

I hope that helps...

Edit:
I see ftm is following me around again. He just loves to chase me around telling everyone what I'm doing. I don't know why, but he does the same thing every day. His temperature data is from the northern hemisphere. This is GLOBAL warming not northern hemisphere warming and I'm not pooh poohing anything, I'm just showing where you can go to get the some facts in this matter and allowing readers to make up their own minds if it's true or not. Just go to the sites I mentioned and it will answer all the global warming questions you have. Yes, even ftm will learn something. He thinks he knows everything already, but I'll bet even he could learn a thing or two.

Here's an excerpt from ftm's wipikpedia site talking about Senator Inhofe: "In a July 28, 2003 Senate speech, he offered compelling evidence that catastrophic global warming is a hoax. That conclusion is supported by the painstaking work of the nation's top climate scientists." So the very site he uses to discredit my source discredits him.

Edit: I DID NOT move any quotation marks that quote is copied and pasted from the original source.
So who really gets the money from all this? The global warming alarmists:
"The alarmists also enjoy a huge financial advantage over the skeptics with numerous foundations funding climate research, University research money and the United Nations endless promotion of the cause.

Just how much money do the climate alarmists have at their disposal? There was a $3 billion donation to the global warming cause from Virgin Air’s Richard Branson alone. The well-heeled environmental lobbying groups have massive operating budgets compared to groups that express global warming skepticism. The Sierra Club Foundation 2004 budget was $91 million and the Natural Resources Defense Council had a $57 million budget for the same year. Compare that to the often media derided Competitive Enterprise Institute’s small $3.6 million annual budget.

In addition, if a climate skeptic receives any money from industry, the media immediately labels them and attempts to discredit their work. The same media completely ignore the money flow from the environmental lobby to climate alarmists like James Hansen and Michael Oppenheimer. (ie. Hansen received $250,000 from the Heinz Foundation and Oppenheimer is a paid partisan of Environmental Defense Fund)"

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!
