like the global temperature on earth is going high year by year and we are experiencing a change in temp.
The global average temperature of earth approx. 5 years ago was 14'c and now it is 15'c
a rise of even 1'c can induce the process of melting of glaciers.
and when the glaciers melts then the water level will rise and many of the countries that are situated near oceans will develope the chances of getting submerged in the sea.
it is estimated that the global temperature of earth would rise upto 19'c in 2050
so, our future generations are in a great risk
Global warming has a potential of disturbing our future in a great way
we can't modify ourself at once it will take some time
so according to me global warming is a great problem and its rise is at alarming rates!!
Global warming will cause a couple things.
- Rising ocean levels, some due to water expanding as it warms, and some due to glaciers melting and the water running into the oceans.
- Changing rainfall patterns, affecting where we can, and cannot grow our food. You want to check out the drought in Calif this year, and for the past 3 years.
- Diminishing water aquifers, due to increased pumping of underground water. In some places, well water level is hundreds of feet lower than it was in the past. At some point, there just won't be any water to pump. That will affect cities and towns, and also agriculture. Agriculture uses a very large proportion of the fresh water in this country.
Malik Daanish is wrong. He's way overstating the problem.
JimZ and Zippi are wrong. It's warming, not cooling.
(And there will be more who claim cooling, and give each other thumbs up, and me thumbs down.)
The world's temperature has increased almost 1 degree in the last century.
Some of that might be coming out of the Little Ice Age, but most of it is due to the increased CO2 in the atmosphere.
That extra CO2 comes from burning coal, oil, and natural gas -- fossil fuels.
Burning fossil fuel puts carbon back into the environment that has been locked up for 10s of millions of years.
During an Ice Age, the average global temperature was only about 10C cooler than it is today.
It doesn't take much change in average temperature to create an enormous difference in global climate.
The increase in atmospheric CO2, from .026% to .040% is a 40% increase.
CO2 and water are the two important greenhouse gases.
Without any greenhouse gases, earth's temperature would be quite a bit below freezing, to the point where life on land would be non-existent, and likely, the only ocean life would be around undersea volcanic vents, if that.
Transportation is important, because CO2 comes out of your tailpipe, and at the moment, we really don't have an option to replace gasoline/diesel, on a large scale, as the means to power transportation.

"The finding that the climate has warmed in recent decades and that human activities are already contributing adversely to global climate change has been endorsed by every national science academy that has issued a statement on climate change, including the science academies of all of the major industrialized countries."

Global Warming made the Eastern part of South Dakota an inhabitable land. There was once a glacier all over it. Aren't you glad?

0.87 degrees in 353 years coming out of an Ice Age is beneficial to mankind, don't you agree?
No impact because there is NO **man-made** Global Warming and there has never been any.
What global warming? It's been cooling for at least 12 years according to HadCrut3 & 4.

According to RSS Satellite data there has been no warming for almost 18 year.
If it was happening it would help us enormously, civilizations have always thrived during warm periods and during cold periods like the little ice age, starvation and plagues were rampant.
Google the "holcene optimum" a time 9000 to5000 yrs ago when our planet was much warmer, a time when the tropics were 1C warmer and the polar regions 4C warmer, a time when the Sahara had rivers and lakes and abundant animals and people, a time when our planet was covered in forests, a time when the great civilizations like China, Egypt, and Mesopotania arose.
Try looking into the zooxanthellae. That should give you an insight on how's it's affecting the Great Barrier Reef.
Apparently it will cause cooling or that seems to be what alarmists claim. If it warms, it's global warming. If it cools, its global warming. If it stays the same....you guessed it....still global warming.
Same as "Global Cooling"! It does "both". Temperature changes by over 30F almost every day where I live. It goes up by 30F during the day (warming) and then goes back down at night (cooling). Have yet to see that change.
Guess what is also true?
The climate changes, too! Always has and always will. It has nothing to do with what "environmental-climate-clowns" say.
it increases the global temperature, due to which glaciers melt which can cause some countries near the ocean can dip into ocean, the climate changes, vegetation and rainfall pattern changes.
it will be colder, colder is the new global warming
