A Global Catastrophe is Coming?
It is estimated that about 2100 the average temperature of earth’s surface will be between 1.5 and 6 grades higher than in 1980. ¿who are the responsibles and what can we do?
Our planet is getting warmer: that’s a reality. The last ten years have been the hottest; scientifics have announced that in future it would be warmer. And, as always, human beings are the main responsibles: we exert a direct impact over warming process, also known as “greenhouse effect”.
Greenhouse effect is an increase of greenhouse gases concentration: carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorineflourinecarbonate (CFC), methane (CH4), nitrogen oxide (N2O) and troposphere ozone.
In small concentrations these gases are necessary for our survival. Solar energy come in through them, reaches the earth and return as infrared energy. At that moment greenhouse gases catch them and keep the infrared radiation heat, as a greenhouse.
But in major quantities, the main consequence of greenhouse effect is the atmosphere global warming.
Why?…because contaminant gases (or greenhouse), as carbon dioxide, provoke that solar energy keep trapped in atmosphere. And it takes only a slight modification of temperature to break the nature equilibrium.
Sea water will evaporate, in other parts will be torrential rain, floods, hurricanes, droughts, heat waves and freeze…among other natural disasters.
An important concern
According to different scientific studies, supported by ONU, it is estimated that in 2100m average temperature of earth will be between 1,5 and 6 grades higher than in 1980. Temperatures are increasing at global scale, and the recorded 15 hottest years have been since 1980.
This is the main concern of scientifics, because besides all the aforementioned disasters it could be famine and epidemic, ice floes melting, flora and fauna disappearing and Caribbean Island flooding.
What is worse is that we are “collaborating” with global warming by using fossil fuel (coal, oil and its derivates as paraffin, liquefied gas and benzine), allowing industrial contamination, among others, and forests and wet lands destruction.
It is believed that if temperature continues to elevate, global warming is going to uneven distributed. Continental zones are going to be hottest than sea zones.

Do republicans want to deny global warming, because if it happens and catastrophe comes, they can say god?
is coming to save us believers
I was listening to christian radio the other day just for a hoot — and oh are they ready for 2012
God will take care of his believing children. It’s as simple as that.

For most people, I think it has more to do with anger and denial, but the doomsday-fantasy crowd is out there too.

we are waiting for the proof that it is man made. you guys are the only ones having issues as to whether it warms and cools, we just want to know if it is man made, to what extent is it and then we can have a civil discussion about what to do. you have no proof that it is man made. still waiting….

Yes.
Except it isn’t 2012 we’re waiting for.

Global warming and cooling are a scientific fact. We have the data to prove that the Earth goes through temperature changes over time.
Man-made or anthropogenic global climate change is not proven and there are many more scientists who refute man’s role than those who believe it’s caused by man.
Either way, we need to have an honest and open debate before we spend trillions of borrowed Chinese dollars fighting something we neither caused nor can change.

We don’t deny global warming, we just have a different view of what’s causing it.

I think that deep down they want the world to end so they are legitimized. I have spent plenty of time in numerous religious sects. They put all of their eggs in the basket that the world will end in the coming years. This movement was strongly revitalized with the SDA movement in the 1830s. They claimed to know that Jesus was coming, and the followers sold everything they owned, then nothing happened… they did it again a few years later after careful recalculation and again, nothing happened. Now, the SDA church is growing across the globe.
It doesnt matter what people say or do, because that ideology of fear plays on the biggest off all human emotional instincts.

Those who are steadfast in believing the "end of days" will come in their lifetime are simply selfish morons who don’t want to think that the world can and will go on without them once they die.

I neither deny nor affirm it, because
a) The spokespeople seem to be losing credibility ( the earth is millions of degrees 5 miles below the surface…)
b) I am not arrogant enough to assume that Humans have the power to do all this.
c) I don’t hate america, or the human species enough to want to blame them for everything that happens.
d) even the unproven possibility, if not the fact, that the scientists might be ignoring contradictory evidence, and thus disregarding the scientifc method, is enough for me to have doubt.
Since I have doubt, I will give the benefit of it to humans, and cast the ‘blame’ on larger forces, since I am only human.

Hmm, it’s a little bit more than that:
1) Because they are small-minded, like how a bird sees its reflection and assumes it’s another bird and they in general don’t like the idea of change. They don’t take the time to understand scientific data and don’t understand that "global warming" doesn’t just mean warming, it means climate change. A cold day happens or it snows they think that debunks the whole concept (when in actuality it could be proving it further). PLUS they don’t look at things like the rising sea levels and the retreating glaciers, tree lines and forget about hurricanes and typhoons…
2) Because to acknowledge global warming means to lay blame on their "friend" (ha!) capitalism. Scientist often cite industrialization as one of the main driving/polluting forces that is causing climate change and harming life all over the planet, meaning global warming is inconvenient to their bottom line (money).
3) "Climategate" – Those scientists caught themselves in a lie, discredited themselves and gave climate change deniers power by doing so.
4) Warming on other planets – Supposedly warming is happening on a few other planets, so they blame that and the warming on Earth on the Sun, absolving greedy humans.

problem with language/idea creep,,,global warming? data is mixed,,,,,increase been flat 10 years
is the non increase non man made?
co2 in upper atmosphere increases global warming
the greatest part of additions to c02 content come from volcanos
why no increase in either one in 10 years.
the key terms are "man caused global warming",we’ve been hearing this for 20 years
a year ago,,,’climate change’ has become the new slogan /buzz word
get some decent science,fire al gore,then tell us how many billions of bucks we gotta kick in
its usually leftie loonies who believe in 2012 horseplops
