in nyc, as of 8-6-2009, the summer has been mild. the temperature has been below 80 degrees but sometimes we get something below 85 degrees or days where the moisture levels are high and though the temperature is low the air feels hot due to moist. this mild summer is really good because it's less hot and more manageable. but many people [including the weather forecasters] wanted a blazing summer, that is to say an 85+ degree or rather more like a 90+ degree temperature for the summer. this suggests people do want global warming and i'm glad because i can prove that the idea to stop global warming is just like what the hardcore call the wii, a fad. how do you know people want global warming due to a desire for hotter summer days? the answer is air conditioning. you see, when the temperature outside goes too hot, people do go outside and do stuff outside. but majority will more likely stay inside using the air conditioning and it's actually advised to stay indoors by the weatherman if temperatures get too hot. if the temperature is hotter, then that means more air conditioning. more air conditioning means more energy. more energy means more pollution. more pollution means more green house effect. more green house effect means more heat. what i find amusing and entertaining is that the weatherman is actually in support for hotter days. as a weatherman, aren't you suppose to favor the well being of the earth and not the opposite. i watched all local nyc public channels and most support for hotter days. i smirk everytime the weatherman wants hotter days because he doesn't realize that he's supporting pollution. as of today [8-6-2009], yahoo weather lists the nyc area where i live to be 73-75 degrees. a very wonderful temperature for summer. am i missing something here?
where I am. Hamilton, Canada. The weather here is RRRAAAAIIIINNY !!! its crazy ! its supposed to be summer here and the its barely sunny anymore ! there hasn't been a whole week where it was all sun ! and its all very abnormal to me ! now to answer the question [Why the panic?] what you don't realize is that due to human pollution, we are destroying the ozone layer the ozone layer is the wonderful layer that protects the habitants of Earth from burning to a crisp. without the ozone layer, it would be impossible to step out to the sun without it hurting that's not all ! Global warming causes crazy weather. where you'd expect sun, it may snow like where I live, IT IS THE SUMMER !! and we are getting a huge amount of rainfall AND EVEN HAIL !! so this means that up North, where all that ice and cold are, it will start to warm up this then turns the ice to melting ice, to water. The Earth is 75-something percent water anymore addition to that amount of water will cause water levels to rise up water levels rise, less land to occupy less land, less plants, less housing, etc. etc. so then, human survival will be in danger ! why the panic? well because, I DONT FEEL LIKE DYING ANYTIME SOON ! I kinda wanna spend more time playing on my DS it sucks, I know, but we gotta take care of our environment even just a little can go a long way ! so try your best to help and maybe we'll give ourselves more time to play !
All the environment lover today bitching about Global Warming not because for the sake of us. They dont even care about you, NIKKObwoy. They care for the future generation.
haha, this I think is very true but who are they to decide whom to save? GOD? hah ! we must take care of our Earth ourselves not trust some Environmentalist who thinks he's the only one who knows something ! and even so, the future generation will be our kids, grandkids I wouldn't want to give my kids life then when they grow up be like, "here's the Earth, all f-ed up, HAVE FUN !" you know? its funny but Id rather they DONT live in a planet where Human life may cease to exist because of past generations' stupidity OUR wrongs and mistakes so we must try, even just a little bit if 5 million people helped in a small that effort accumulates and may just be what is needed to save the Earth.
no matter what we do, we will not live to see the outcome of it. does that make it not worth doing? No. When I was doing ranger training, part of our job was to builds 'steps' into a hillside, to slow down the surface water after the rains, to prevent it washing the soil away. The land was completely barren after three years of entirely unsustainable farming methods and improper land management. It will be three hundred years before that land recovers, but without what we did four years ago, it would never recover.
we shouldn't panic, we just have to create slow change on the way we live. radical change screws up everything. besides, if it's carbon dioxide/monoxide, trees will adapt to carry the burden. but global warming is actually a natural process and it will cool in time (the ice age lasted for millions of years before warming up)
Your topic is good, you are either trolling with your comments or you are really stupid. (or you have some religious ideas that make you seem stupid and you think you can get away with that crap in the name of religion). Troll or stupid?
I vote stupid. Anyway if humans/life on earth/whatever gets wipe out I won't be surprise. What I'm surprise is how some people can live in denial.You tell them what their doing is harming the earth and they'll go "Its just a theory its not proven,not a fact" or worst "So what,everybody is also doing it,nothing happen also"
well, if you think about it, there are trees that are sanctioned off... those can evolve to carry the burden. much like us
from what i know its happened before. but then it was alot slower and was followed by the ice age which cooled the earth down. because of us its happening alot faster than its meant to and probaly not in time for the second ice age.
Joshaz: Please don't spam. And Global warming may cause floods, poisoning and loss of animals but will not creatures evolve and adapt to the change if we can just manage to slow down the climate change?
i don't care about global warming because it doesn't exist. before an ice age, there is a spike in the earth's temperature, and then a sudden decline and presto!!! an ice age cometh!!!!!! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/04/science/earth/04arctic.html i've seen so much crap about it that i don't believe that there is an issue of global warming. although i do agree that CO2 emissions are bad
Global Warming is a scam. A tax on the ignorant and uninformed. something more relevent to me. OH SHIT WE BETTER FIX OUR EMISSIONS!!! THAT 5% (THE KYOTO PROPOSITION), WILL REALLY SAVE US FROM OBLIVION!!!
Global warming is the state that the earth is heating up and melting the ice caps. That is really all about it. We can't stop global warming. We can only slow down the process of it.
Yeah, those stupid scientists and their stupid conclusions... Why should i trust people who actually dedicate their lives to these studies when my priest/favorite politician tells me it ain't so?
