Global Warming - Is it the end?

[Ninja Caterpie]

the increased heat will melt the ice at the polar ice caps, then that freshwater will mix with the saltwater of the ocean, and the mixed water will effect the salinity of the ocean water in a way that stops the flow of warm water to the arctic circle and the flow of cool water to the equator. Then, the screwed up currents will contribute to a cooling period ( salt water's density is different from freashwater, causing the problem)

Then, once all the Ice is on the ground, it will reflect sunlight/UV radiation back into space, thus keeping the planet cool.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. I just can't remember the exact wording from a geography video I watched three years ago.

ahh.. so it does COOL the earth.. stupid name... it should be global freezing.. although it does heat it up.. but in the end whoever survives the heat will die from the cold.. sooo

Not really, it's still warming. It's just that the warming eventually becomes an Ice Age, which makes no sense until you think about it or something.

Yep, same here i couldnt for the life of me remember what it was called, so i flipped on some national geographic. XD

warming cooling whatever.. we all die because of human's ignorance

well we're all dead regardless. XD just a matter of when and how.

I do think things have been done, its more common to recycle now and Smart cars/more fuel efficient cars have been more common, and ive seen more effort into looking for other energy sources

Well, i guess if we less talk and more actions, then maybe we could prevent global warming.

In my country are too many floods, especially on the south side. I'm starting to worry about it.

Exactly, the problem is while people/governments bicker about if its happening, or if its natural, man made, etc, its still happening as we speak.

 

[Charizard★]

Well, to be honest, its already quite late to fix the damage, we can still try to stop it tho.

I never understand why people don't specify between global warming and man-made global warming.

Obviously, global warming is real and has been going on for millions of years. It's an entirely natural process. Man-made global warming is far from confirmed science, otherwise there would be little debate amongst the scientific and political community. It's not crazy to think so either, since the majority of people aren't bought into the fact that human energy consumption is having a noticeable effect on our climate. Funny how the issue itself has lost steam in the media now that most people are aware of the facts. Makes you wonder if the whole issue was a political one to begin with...hmm? ;D

Exactly. did you know that 90% of Global Warming is caused by water vapor? Then we have methane, which is a rough 5%. We can't help it because cows produce it, and we're not going to go around the world and kill all the cows :P
Then 5% is us humans causing it. Of course, it adds up, but generally it barely contributes to the effect of Methane and water vapor.

And that 90% of water vapor mainly comes from where? Us. Why is the cow population so high? Us. So it adds up more, and more. A lot more than 5% at least. More like 50%.

What?
We didn't create water o.O
Although the cow part is rather our fault.
But the water vapor will always be there no matter what.

Yea, but thanks to the power plants, the heat we create, more than triples the amount of normal water vapor. My dad is a Powerplant manager.

Point.
Just saying that we didn't create water vapor. I misunderstood you

Its fine. XD
I tend to go a little overboard and skip some details xD

 

[Gardenia101]

Yeah...
Well, to sum it up, Global Warming isn't all our fault, but we can help prevent it.

Most of it is tho. Scientists concluded that a small portion is natural made, most of it is man made.

 

[beauty. proletariat]

Just to clarify, climate change is the reason for global warming.

We're contributing to climate change which is causing global warming. Basically, we're only causing global warming indirectly. Kinda makes me feel better LOL j/k.

Sorry for the italics.

lol XD

But still, whether directly or indirectly we're one of the main causes :/

I thought we just agreed that most of it is natural but humans do have a large hand in helping it?

 

[Charizard★]

Nooo. We made the cause, which sped up the Natural rate which in fact means we have had a large cause in Global Warming.
