I think that generally, people do understand. That's why government needs to periodically change their tactics. Now government calls it climate change.
Some people imagine that global warming simply means slightly warmer winters and milder summers, overlooking the fact that if average temperatures rise around the globe, some areas will experience much higher temperatures, but other areas may even become colder. Some people imagine that global warming means higher food production will be possible, ignoring the fact that more prolonged droughts will reduce the food production in some areas, as will more frequent severe floods in other areas. People who think that global warming is good look to what they imagine to be the advantages of global warming, but overlook, or are unaware of, the harm that it can cause.
People can contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels for energy, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Deforestation, agriculture, and industrial processes also release greenhouse gases. As these gases trap heat in the atmosphere, they cause temperatures to rise and contribute to global warming.
Both. Global warming is a moral issue because it is damaging the environment that we are leaving to our children, but we are not doing enough to prevent it. It is also a political issue because it is too large to be dealt with by individuals. Politicians are elected to make decisions for the good of the country and the world. We need them to act globally.
People are free to choose whether to believe that global warming is real, and no one says that they must believe the scientific evidence for global warming. However, those who wish to be informed would note that there is a strong scientific consensus that this is the case. Also, people who accept the reality that global warming is happening are the people who will be able to provide the leadership needed to solve the problem.
Many different factors contribute to the damage that is done to the atmosphere and every industrialized country contributes somewhat. Mexico is known more for it's air pollution then for cause global warming.
no. and that is the problem. There are kinds of people: People who don't understand and people who don't WANT to understand. People who don't want to understand can make up lies, like Global Warming is a theory. They can also fight with climate scientists . There is a point in humanity that we are in right now. we need to stop global warming, we are now in the point where we can't undo global warming, only stop it from getting worse. We need to.
Mostly because the threat from global warming is real, and will certainly make life very difficult for our children and grandchildren if people and governments of the world can't reduce or slow the effects of climate change.
Global warming is not natural, it is caused by people. Since there aren't people on Neptune, it cannot have global warming.
Many people think governments should make regulations to reduce the effects of global warming. Governments are elected to govern, and that often means making hard, long-term decisions that are not always popular.
Because people need education, so they can understand the wonders of science, realise the dangers of global warming, and encourage governments, themselves and others to take serious steps to limit its advance.
If we understand the causes and effects of global warming then we can change our behaviour to reduce these effects. We can also talk to our friends and family so that more people can spread the message to change our behaviour.
What is causing global warming?What can be done to stop it?What are our governments doing about it?Why don't they do more?Why are there not more serious attempts to change to renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal and biofuel)?
Yes, most people accept that global warming is happening. They understand that the ten hottest years on record have all happened since 1995. They are beginning to experience more extreme weather events that are the result of climate change.
There is not enough renewable energy (solar, wind, water etc), so people still have to use fossil fuel energy (coal, oil and natural gas), which is causing global warming. Ordinary people can lower their energy use at home, and they can educate their parents or children, and they can lobby politicians, but until governments make industry pay the true cost of carbon pollution, then global warming will continue.
Global warming is the serious and rapid warming of the earth that has occurred in the last 100 years. Most people believe in it because science has shown that it is happening and people understand why it is happening.
First you try to understand the harmful effects of global warming. Then go to peoples house in your locality and show some percentage of global warming in their house. Then explain them its harmful effects. Then try to tell them how to prevent it. Make posters and stick it on walls. Take out a rally with your friends.
Well I think that global warming is really scary for people. Because people can't really do things. Do to global warming so they have to try and stop it before it gets worse.Mostly hysterical.
