How can global warming kill people?
Realistically, global warming is a needed event. Without this warming we would be dead. The concept of man contributing is different. The warming we have seen of of over 0.2 degrees since 1934 has been blamed on man by many political groups that ignore the fact the planet has been warming for 10,000 years.0.2 degrees of warming is not going to kill people. There is no evidence of an increase in storms. Polar bears are not dieing because of the weather and much of the horror stories you hear about the issue are pretty much that, stories.A:It is difficult to attribute specific deaths to global warming. As glaciers vanish, it seems likely deaths will result from the loss of rivers that serve as drinking water. Global warming will cause (and may already have caused) intensified storm activity, but it is beyond our capability to attribute any specific storm to global warming. Sea level rise is a serious concern, but it will likely take decades for ocean levels rising as a result of ocean warming to affect more than small, low-lying mid-ocean islands. Droughts and heatwaves are difficult to specifically attribute to global warming, but will intensify in some areas and those can lead to deaths.
What does David Suzuki say about people who think there is no global warming?
In 2016 David Suzuki said that the former Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, should be imprisoned for his "willful blindness" regarding man-made global warming. He said: "If you're the CEO of a company and you deliberately avoid or ignore information relevant to the functioning of that company, you can be thrown in jail … " "And to have a Prime Minister who for nine years wouldn't even let the term 'climate change' pass his lips! If that isn't willful blindness, then I don't know what is."
A contibuting factor to global warming?
Man is the biggest contributor to global warming. We began this when we started digging up and burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), releasing all the EXTRA carbon dioxide that had been buried underground for millions of years.And we continued it when we destroyed all the great forests of the world, that were acting as huge carbon stores, taking in carbon dioxide and keeping it secure in the roots, trunks and branches, for hundreds of years.The earth has been comfortably warm for millions of years. The carbon and water cycles have supported the natural greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. But by our actions the natural greenhouse effect has become the runaway greenhouse effect, making the earth warmer and warmer.A:1. Co2 releases from: a. ocean groundb. melting icec. volcanoes2. sun activities in certain periods corresponding to certain climatic changing periods3. lobbyists who emphasize those scientists which proclaim a global warming but ignore different researches - there are strong indications of no global warming at all. Think: it's much more about money, reputation and influence than uninformed people think of.
Why cant scientists stop telling us there is global warming when it isn't global warming at all?
The job of a scientist is not to proclaim what does or does not exist. A scientist collects justifiable facts and establish models to explain facts and form predictions. It is true that global temperatures have been falling for the last 12 years, but scientists don't say 'this disproves global warming' because it is not their job. Instead we are told by loud-mouth activists that this is just a blip (a 12 year blip out of the last 15) or that the climate is cooling but will soon warn up very sharply because it's cooling now. And of course some scientists ignore this information and carry on about it anyway. I suppose they've crossed from the 'scientist' side to the 'loud-mouth activists'.Very few scientists or climate experts are spouting anything that resembles a statement of certainty on this issue. That is left to political experts, environmental groups and extremists on either side. There is proof the planet has warmed 11 degrees over the past 6000 years. Most of that warming before man has burned any fuel. 0.2 to 0.5 degrees is all we have noticed since 1850 and almost all of that before WW2. Science and climate experts do not ignore the possibility, but only state the facts above. To make silly conclusions either way is left to those that do not bother with scientific principles. There is no certainty either way and no true science body claims there is.
Why do people disagree with global warming?
Science looks for ultimate causes and attempts to answer the question of "why" phenomenon observed occur through observation and experimentation. Much like experts can't agree on the causes of gravity, there are many theories on WHY or HOW it is happening, but they all agree that it IS happening. There is never really 100% consensus in science because until a theory has been disproven it is a possibility to being the truth. Science is all about relative truths, and all "laws" are really just theories and can be replaced if new evidence is gained in support of an alternative hypothesis or explanation. ___________________________________________________________________ Actually, the large majority, globally, of scientists do agree on the causes of Global Warming, particularly on man-made global warming and on what to do to reduce it. The problem is that the media when discussing the issue and to avoid being labeled as biased often allows two experts to comment on it, one for each side. This creates the false impression that the scientific community as a whole is equally divided on the issue, which it is not. Add to that the fact that many so-called skeptical scientists and organizations are either directly or indirectly funded by those corporations which stand to loose should carbon dioxide reducing policies be adopted. The 'scientists' and organizations are often the loudest yet do little more then repeat global warming myths over and over again. Their objective is clear: not to debunk global warming as a whole but to spread misinformation so the general public wrongly believes the science is not settled. ______________________________________________________________ You will find that there is a great deal of grant money available in making sure that man induced global warming is a possible situation. This coupled with the fact that some political groups are attempting to make this "situation" be the cause to reduce lifestyles and transfer trillions of wealth to poor countries, make the issue one that many do not wish to go away currently. Facts are altered (climategate), ignored (pusedo science blogs) and lied about. When people like climate audit catch these lies, the main stream media all but ignore the reality. The lies are quickly swept under the rug and the alarmist crowd moves on. There are many good reasons to keep this "crisis" from being found false. The transfer of wealth, limiting of freedoms and the large grant money many "scientists" enjoy )with almost zero work or effort) make this a great scheme for lining pockets and changing lifestyles. If you view the data, it is hard to reach the conclusion that global warming is a man induced issue. That does not mean it is not happening, it does mean we can not actually say it is or is not. The greed of many though, will prevent us from ever saying 100% that it is not so.
What is the inconvenient truth about the global warming?
The reality of global warming is an inconvenient truth for vested interests and those who would rather we ignore it. It is also inconvenient because it will not just go away if we do nothing.
What are three sentences for the word ignore?
I chose not to ignore your question but to answer it.I asked my dad for some money but he chose to ignore me.If I ignore the problem it might go away.
Why do so many people want to ignore the other side of the global warming argument?
People ignore the other side (the one they disagree with) because they disagree with it. People stick to what they believe. They look at the facts and they decide what they want to believe.
Making a scientific method about preventing global warming?
sorry, that was my evil twin. soo.....yes, i dont think there can be a method to prevent global warming. im sorry.you could make one?!! like .....build a global cooling machiene? nah im just messing. but, its ok. we will all live a happy life and then die and ignore the warmings. understand? ok!!!!!!!
What percentage of Democrats are into global warming?
The concept of Global Warming being real or not is hardly a party issue. The concept has moved away from the science and moved into a very political arena. Both sides take a similar view on Global Warming. They ignore the science and claim that the debate is over. It almost seems like the Democrat party's stand on global warming is that global warming is caused by Republicans. If you want it colder vote for Democrats. If you want it warmer vote for Republicans. This, of course, is not their official position.

Were the speakers arguments effective?
Effective arguments are those that are done calmly and rationally. If someone yells or tries to force opinions, then others are likely to ignore them.
Why did Al Gore entitle his movie An Inconvenient Truth?
Al Gore felt that the reality of global warming is an inconvenient truth for vested interests and those who would rather we ignore it. It is also inconvenient because it will not just go away if we do nothing.
What are Arguments against intelligent design behind evolution?
Every argument against evolution falls into several categories. 1.) It could disprove something if it were true, but that something would not be evolution. 2.) There are no arguments for Intelligent design, all they have are arguments against evolution (and sometime plate tectonics, cosmology, mathematics's, or oceanography). 3.) Every single argument made against evolution or any other natural science in defence of intelligent design (also known as creationism as determined by a conservative Christian judge) has been used as an argument against intelligent design and backing up the science that the creationists are trying to ignore. Summary: Take any creationist claim, summarize it, and take the reverse of that and you get the scientific arguments against intelligent design and for evolution.
Is global survey freebies real?
No, it's not. It's a scam, ignore it.
What possible outcome of plastic pollution ten years from now?
Ten years from now, if we ignore the problem of plastic pollution, the world can be so hot because of global warming. The plastics can contribute to global warming by burning the plastics. It is said that every kilogram of plastic when burnt creates six kilograms of carbon dioxide. Another possible outcome is the massive flooding because the plastics are clogging the waterways because of the irresponsible doings of the people. =))) -JasC
Should Australia care for other countries with rising sea levels?
Australia may have no choice. The wealthy countries that have contributed to global warming and rising sea levels can hardly ignore the plight of those people who then lose their homes on low-lying islands.
