Yes. If we don't stop global warming there is enough ice on Greenland and Antarctica to raise the oceans by 61 metres (200 feet).

What are three effective strategies to combat global warming and reduce its impact on the environment?

Three effective strategies to combat global warming and reduce its impact on the environment are transitioning to renewable energy sources, promoting energy efficiency and conservation practices, and implementing policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.


What are the three human solutions for limiting global warming?

The three human solutions for limiting global warming are transitioning to renewable energy sources, implementing energy efficiency measures, and promoting sustainable practices such as reforestation and promoting green transportation.


Is it true if global warming continues you will die?

If global warming continues unchecked then the world will get warmer and warmer and yes, you will die, along with every other living thing on the earth. Another View. However, there has been no warming for 17 years. Whether this is simply a pause, remains to be seen. There have also been cooling trends, examples: North America has seen three straight years of very cold winters, and also cooler summers.


Where are we in the natural cycle of global warming?

We should have entered a very gradual cooling phase several centuries ago, based on Milankovitch orbital cycles. Instead global temperature over the past three decades has rapidly increased, and been gradually increasing overall over the past century. This unnatural rise is almost entirely attributable to human activity.


What proof is there for global warming being a lie?

No scientist has anything to gain by creating a hoax or deliberately lying to say that average global temperatures are rising - the normal definition of global warming. In fact, any evidence that a research scientist has engaged in this would be career-destroying. The only employment open to trained scientists who value propaganda over research is in some sections of industry, but it is unlikely that any business would seek to create belief in global warming. However, Richard Muller, a Physics Professor and longtime critic of government-led climate studies believed that there was an inadvertent lie behind the science of global warming. He sought to address what he called "the legitimate concerns" of sceptics who believe global warming is exaggerated and undertook what was termed the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project at the University of California, Berkeley, to demonstrate that there was at least some poor science involved. Professor Muller unexpectedly told a congressional hearing the work of the three principal groups that have analysed the temperature trends underlying climate science is "excellent ... We see a global warming trend that is very similar to that previously reported by the other groups." Thus the only potential proof that global warming was in some way a lie foundered.

What will the earth be like in 2012?

Very similar to how is is today, in 2009 (only three years difference). It will be just a mite warmer because of global warming.


What three gases cause global warming?

The three main greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in average global temperatures.

What is global warming and what are the 3 key ideas that support the global warming theory?

Global warming is when CO2 and other gases rise into the air from cars, fire, lava, and anything else that produces those gases. 3 of the ideas that prove it's real are 1; The polar caps are melting causing floods and endangering the wildlife that lives on them, 2; More storms are popping up (Brazil had its first hurricane) because of warmer oceans causing coral reefs to die, and 3; Huge droughts are happening making large lakes into dry sand. (there is a picture of a bunch of fishing boats in the middle of a sandy desert in Japan that once used to be a small ocean)


Why are the three Rs the first step in stopping global warming?

The three Rs, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle are an excellent idea, but they are not the first step. The first step is to stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). The second step is to replant the forests. That is what will stop global warming.
