Global warming pains the Earth

Date published: 4/22/2008

Global warming pains the Earth

The planet is struggling to survive. We are causing the Earth pain beyond human understanding, pain caused by global warming.

Global warming is a problem that nobody seems to care about. Sure, there are a small number of people who are trying to help out, like Al Gore. His movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," talks about how the temperatures and sea levels are rising, and the polar ice caps melting. The movie speaks the truth, but some are denying that it is true.

CNN also tries to help show you how the world is changing, for the worst. The CNN show titled "Planet in Peril" says the polar bears are becoming endangered, forests are being cut down, and natural habitats are being lost.

Then there is overpopulation. All of this is changing the world for the worst, and is the direct cause of global warming.

There are actions we can take to help stop global warming, such as driving less, using electricity-saving products, unplugging unused electrical appliances, buying organic food, and buying a fuel-efficient car.

We have the power to stop this growing problem called global warming.

True, the US is (posted by Sled505 , Apr. 28, 2008 9:18 am)   
an economic giant producing 25% of the worlds goods, but that comes at a price. We not only export goods and services, but carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, fluorocarbons, etc, etc. Industrialization based on fossil fuel energy is a double edged sword.

sled arg is flawed (posted by AUTiger2000 , Apr. 27, 2008 9:54 am)   
That data may be correct (esp since "greenies" don't want more nuclear plants), but the US is a manufacturing powerhouse. Not fair to compare US to 3rd world countries or developing countries. We export A LOT of goods, which go to those countries polluting "less."

CO2 emission (posted by Sled505 , Apr. 27, 2008 9:07 am)   
The United States CO2 emission is six times the global average per capita and 30 times that of a person living in a developing country. The US contributes 25 % of greenhouse gas emissions but we are only 9% of the world population. The buck stops here, thou China and India are on the horizon

Here is some more of the NCPA report (posted by slarrivee , Apr. 27, 2008 8:28 am)   
"There is no scientific forecast supporting the widespread belief in dangerous human-caused 'global warming.' In fact, it has yet to be demonstrated that long-term forecasting of climate is possible at all." The authors also note that the IPCC forecasters themselves are part of the unreliability problem, as political considerations influenced all stages of the IPCC process, including writing the final version expressly to reflect the language negotiated by the political appointees to the IPCC.

ngoc531.Should we ignore the NCPA study of the IPCC report ? (posted by slarrivee , Apr. 27, 2008 8:23 am)   
Out of 140 forecasting principles, 127 are relevant to the procedures used to arrive at the climate projections in the IPCC report;-- Of these, the IPCC report clearly violated almost half (60); -- An additional 12 forecasting principles appear to be violated, and there is insufficient information in the report to assess the use of 38 others; therefore-- Only 17 out of 127 applicable forecasting principles can be shown to have been followed by the IPCC.
