Global Warming

[Columba]

oh sorry did i say extinct. my bad! like seriously what i meant to say is that we have lost human life before. like **** sapiens we are ancestors of them. humans lived with dinosaurs once...right?...well they all died...but then humans just came back in a different way just different.....and dont tell me that the ice caps wont cover the land because they will. if u think of it, 70 percent of the world is covered in water and 30 percent is land right well that other 30 percent is frozen fresh water. so dont tell me u dont think land will be covered because it will. we will have another ice age soon possibly!

No human or any close ancestor of humans ever lived with the dinosaurs.

yeah ur right about that i was just trying to make a point. just saying after the dinosaurs got extinct their was human life years after!

What does that have to do with anything.

Maybe I'm just missing something.

Whoa, pride4pride, I think you need to do some SERIOUS research before you start rambling about homosapiens and the Ozone Layer.

We are not going to die from heat because the ozone layer gets bigger. We have never lived with dinosaurs or have we ever meen extinct. And the Earth will most likely never be under water.

And since when does 30, 30, and 70 equal 100?

okay....first of all...the world was under water before....it really was. And second it froze up during the ice age which u should have know and as the world changed. and of couse u should know most of the earth is covered in water. and if those ice caps melt it would cause massive flooding and probably take over land because we already have more water then land....especially as lousiana is already sinking as it is. Researchers have found that the cosast line across the east and west are getting smaller cause of rising water. and humans have gotten extinct before havent u ever heard of the iron age or the bronze age. im just saying land could be underwater again. and if those ice caps melt their wont be as much land as they are today!

The earth was never once competely covered in water. There simply isn't enough water on this planet to do that. Think about it, seeing as how water flattens itself out, and how you don't get hills and whatnot with water, you'd need to get a spherical layer, 30,000 feet tall, that covers the entire earth. I'm sorry, but that's just a completely massive ammount of water. You could melt all the water in the ice caps, and take all the water out of the clouds, and you still wouldn't completely cover the earth.

There was more than one ice age.

Of course if the polar ice caps melted, we'd have more land under water.

Like it has been said before, humans have never been extinct, and the Iron and Bronze ages is when we started using metals like Iron and Bronze. It has nothing to do with global warming or extinction of humans.

oh sorry did i say extinct. my bad! like seriously what i meant to say is that we have lost human life before. like **** sapiens we are ancestors of them. humans lived with dinosaurs once...right?...well they all died...but then humans just came back in a different way just different.....and dont tell me that the ice caps wont cover the land because they will. if u think of it, 70 percent of the world is covered in water and 30 percent is land right well that other 30 percent is frozen fresh water. so dont tell me u dont think land will be covered because it will. we will have another ice age soon possibly!

We are Homosapiens.

No. Humans have never lived with Dinosaurs. They were millions of years before the first speciese of human.

70%+30%+30%=130% Unless there is more earth that I don't know about.....

We will have another ice age. Global Warming would cause it.

While I believe that we shouldn't be so wasteful when it comes to energy, fossil fuels, etc, I don't believe that we are the main cause for "global warming". I believe that the earth is going through one of it's many phases, and when the earth gets too hot, it will react accordingly and go into an ice age to "cool off".

Wow. Someone's trying to rewrite history!

 

[BabyPiglet]

Yes Yes Yes.

The Earth goes through stages. If, in reality, the Earth is getting warmer it will eventually fix itself. That's what I believe.

first of all i never said we were gonna die from heat at all. i just said we are basically or our children are gonna drown and yes the world has been covered by water people seriously the earth was once all WATER before land and i know we are **** sapiens! sorry about the extinct part i know what ur trying to say i just got caught up and second of all u dont know when it means adding! i said that there is 70 percent water that is not frozen because 30 percent is fresh water that is frozen right and then land is 30 percent! then of course we have to have 100 percent of water right..so far 70 percent Water 30 percent Land...what about the other 30 percent of WATER that is not covering land. so the other 30 percent of the water is frozen which isnt covering the 30 percent of land!

 

[pride4pride]

and of course it will fix itself somehow but it will fix very slowly but there will be a lot of consequences if we dont do something right?!? what are u gonna just let ur children suffer and let them do all the work!?? what do u think of that! soon there wont be even a DISNEY WORLD! if florida gets flooded!

 

[BabyPiglet]

i think global warming is a very bad issue that our children and their children are gonna face people.....it's affecting us now people. The whole world could be underwater in like 100 years for all we know, cause the ice caps are melting all over the world and the ozone layer isnt getting any smaller. we could all die of heat problems in the next few years becuase the ozone layer is getting larger. all we really need to do is improve the things we are doing and it is true what the scientist says if we try to improve things the ozne layer will close in a couple of year. all we need to do is get rid of all this pollution and cfc's that people use. i know i want to change the future! i want my children and the children to suffer! we Teens could make a difference!

No, we could not all die of heat problems in the next few years. And yes, you did say it.

The Earth will fix itself. Period.

You're completely over-reacting, and you really need to do research before you come on here and talk about this.

And no, we have never been under water entirely.

Also, that still doesn't make sense. It made even less sense than before. Now it's 70, and 30, and 30 and 30?

Ok. The whole earth has NEVER been covered completely in water. Our children are not going to drown. Humans as a whole adapt very well to different types of climates, and if they can't solve it naturally, we always look to technology. Lets say that the earth doesn't fix itself. By the time the earth would become inhabitable, we as humans would have developed some sort of safe haven for people who survived. Now, that will NEVER happen. The earth will NEVER become inhabitable.

Studies have shown that it would take more than a thousand years for every piece of ice to melt on this planet.

A quote from Nikolai Osokin, a glaciologist, "There is, however, a subtle but important qualification: if Arctic ice should melt, the sea level will not change because the volume of water created by melting ice is equal to the volume of water that ice displaces when floating."

And the Antarctic? 3-6 degrees celsius (the worst case scenario) temperature change isn't going to really affect a place that's average temperature is 40 below zero.

im not gonna be mean about all this stuff its just my opinion and im know 30 plus 30 plus 70 is 130 but u dont get what im saying its confusing in a way! i read this article:

In the year

2050

Small alpine glaciers will very likely disappear completely, and large glaciers will shrink by 30 to 70 percent. Austrian scientist Roland Psenner of the University of Innsbruck says this is a conservative estimate, and the small alpine glaciers could be gone as soon as 2037. (IPCC)

In Australia, there will likely be an additional 3,200 to 5,200 heat-related deaths per year. The hardest hit will be people over the age of 65. An extra 500 to 1,000 people will die of heat-related deaths in New York City per year. In the United Kingdom, the opposite will occur, and cold-related deaths will outpace heat-related ones. (IPCC)

 

[pride4pride]

please dont thing im a bad person for saying this stuff its just wat i believe in and just how i was taught from my teachers!

 

[BabyPiglet]

Thank you Thank you Thank you.

You are like one of the only people who have agreed with me. It's going to take a LONG time for the ice to melt.

Studies have shown that it would take more than a thousand years for every piece of ice to melt on this planet. If the scientist's current "worst case scenario" happens and the average temperature of the earth goes up 3-6 degrees Celsius, only 20 meters of frozen ground would melt.

I don't know where you got that from.

But it disagrees with about everything I've ever read on global warming.

 

[pride4pride]

so u dont believe that people will be at one bit be affected by heat and that the oceans wont rise and that the world will suffer some how! u sort of seem like one of those people who are doubters about global warming affecting the world!

Use periods, please.

 

[ohdisco]

pride4pride...the MAXIMUM additional heat-related death toll would be 1000 more deaths. That's if nobody does anything, and we all buy hummers and drive for days on end all throughout the year.

The ice will melt, I'm sure of that. Ice melting will cause changes in our ocean patterns, leading us into an ice age. People will die, but that's just Darwin's law. Only the ones willing and able to adapt will carry on the species. By the time that happens though, we'll be long gone and our children will be old. I care about the future, and I want the best for all of my future family, but it's just a cycle the earth goes through, and nothing can stop it.

Oh, and btw, even if (and it would never happen) all of antarctica melted, the oceans would rise 200 feet. Yes, land would shrink, but it definitely wouldn't become non-existent.

 

[pride4pride]

Not my future.

yep u are one of those people who dont care what will happen! as long as it dosent happen to u

 

[BabyPiglet]

so u dont believe that people will be at one bit be affected by heat and that the oceans wont rise and that the world will suffer some how! u sort of seem like one of those people who are doubters about global warming affecting the world

Did I ever, once, say that?

No, never.

Perhaps the oceans will rise a little. But no, not all humans will die from heat stroke and we won't all drown.

I think you're reaching for stuff that's not there. Like I said before, do your research.


We're living on a big ball with core temperatures of over 6,000 degrees C.
