What else can I help you with?
Why do you think scientists environmentalists and politicians are arguing about global warming?
Scientists and environmentalists are warning the world that global warming is a real and present danger. Politicians can rarely see beyond the next election in three or four years. Few of them, in the US anyway, have any long term vision.
How can you control or reduce global warming?
We probably cannot reduce global warming, but we should be able to reduce the RATE of global warming, if we focus on certain primary goals. First would be to reduce our consumption of fossil fuel. In 1700 the concentration of atmospheric CO2 was 280 parts per million. By 1900 (two centuries) it had risen to 290 parts per million. That is only ten parts per million over two hundred (200) years. Currently we are raising CO2 levels that much every decade (10 years), and will exceed 400 ppm in four short years (by 2016). At the current rate of consumption we will break 500 ppm before 2050. The changes that will result are irreversible, but it serves our best interest to slow down the rate of change, to give earth more time to adapt to the new conditions.
What are the four assumptions of globaalism?
The four main assumptions of globalism are interconnectedness, interdependence, global integration, and the belief that local actions have global consequences. This perspective emphasizes the idea that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected and that events in one part of the world can have significant impacts worldwide.
What are some controversies of the theory of global warming?
The controversies are largely political rather than scientific. Virtually all climate scientists concur human activity is responsible for most of the current measured temperature change. Here is a typical list of "controversies." 1. The sun is the source of earth's heat, and the cause of current warming. While it is true the sun warms earth's surface (earth's interior is instead warmed by the slow decay of long lived nuclear isotopes), there has been no significant change in solar output over the past four decades. Nor has there been any particularly unusual solar activity in the past four hundred years, since Galileo first began making telescopic solar observations. 2. Man cannot alter his environment. This is patently absurd. 3. Since past climate change was NOT the result of human activity, the present climate change cannot possibly be the result of human activity. 4. Earth is actually cooling. This is contradicted by average global temperature measurements. 5. Science is unreliable, and climate scientists in particular are all liberal idiots conspiring to demolish the global economy. 6. Plants and animals evolved before, they can rapidly adapt to new changes. 7. Ice ages were predicted in the 1970s. The statement above is largely false. Whereas one or two popular press articles concerned oncoming ice ages, these were not considered incipient, nor are there peer reviewed papers in climate science journals predicting ice ages on the basis of human carbon emissions. 8. "Climategate" proves evil scientists colluded to destroy western civilization. Back in reality, none of the e-mail stolen from East Anglia University implicate scientists in any malfeasance or wrong doing whatsoever, according to four independent investigations. Furthermore, subsequent analysis of the temperature data also reveal earth has been warming at an accelerated rate. Finally, climate models run by four major independent laboratories (National Center for Atmospheric Research, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Hadley Center for Climate Prediction and Research, and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology) all indicate a strong positive correlation between anthropogenic CO2 and global warming. 9. Volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans. Completely false. USGS data indicates humans now emit more than 100 times as much CO2 as all earth's volcanoes and ocean out gassing combined. The statement came from a conflation of something Rush Limbaugh once said about Chlorofluorocarbons (CFS) with CO2--which also happened to be false. Many of these controversies have been manufactured by the Heartland Institute, a propaganda organ of the oil industry. This same group was earlier responsible for promoting the myth there was no connection between cigarettes and lung cancer.

How many decades are in four fifths of a century?
Four score years, or eight decades.
What are the four major environmental issues that scientists are most concerned about?
There are many important environmental issues. Four major ones would beGlobal climate changeDesertificationSpecies lossOverpopulation
What are facts about the Arctic and how the ice is melting and how can you stop it?
The Arctic ice is melting because of global warming. The only way to stop it is to stop global warming. That will not be easy, and many countries are not very serious about it, being more concerned with the short term view of the next election. I can relate four ways the Arctic Ice is disintegrating but none on how to Stop It!
How many years are there in four decades?
Forty
How many years year is four decades and four ceturies?
440 years
How many years are in are in 4 decades?
A decade is ten years. So, four decades is forty years.
List four problems that arise from 24-hour darkness.?
1 Trees do not grow properlybecause they perform photosynthesis in sun light. 2 Soil pollution will increase. 3 Global warming will increases due extra use of fossil fuel increased air pollution may result in global warming. 4 To produce energy extra use of fuel will result lack of fuel.
