Your change from 50 degrees to ninety degrees was simply a warm/cold front that was passing over where you live. However, it has already wrought a change in the lives of polar bears. Because of global warming, the ice in which the polar bears live on is melting, and they are forced to go farther and farther away from ice, which has resulted in much more frequent drownings; they got too tired in the water and stopped moving. |

The last thing we need is another ice age. We need to make an effort to conserve the amount of pollution by everyone making small steps to help, but I don't know if that will happen. |
| strummer92 Jackass  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 1902 | Well global warming is a sucky thing that is happening in our society today and will continue to be there is a movie coming out named the inconvient truth all about it i think if people stopped throwing there trash away on the side of the road we be alot better and we didnt have these big ass hummers or nissan titans you know maybe global warming wont affect us as much but it will affect our grand kids or something |
| GreenDayCastaway Falling In Love With The Board  Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8517 | there is a movie in theaters on global warming. "An Inconvenient Truth" just thought i'd share if anyone wanted to watch it. it's a documentary. yea... |
| strummer92 Jackass Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 1902 | GreenDayCastaway:yeah i know i just said that |
| GreenDayCastaway Falling In Love With The Board Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 8517 | strummer92: haha oops sorry. totally didn't read that. yeah i saw it. =) |

| Mycophobia Basket Case  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 15581 | global warming is deffently real and it really upsets me that the govermint is not doing anything about it i am very sensative to heat and it scares me my science geek brother says that if at keeps going at the same rate by 100 years the averige temp for areas that have summer/winter weather (ex.Chicago) the averige will be like 90 F. Earlier this year, officials in the Canadian Inuit territory of Nunavik authorized the installation of air conditioners in official buildings for the first time. Artificial cooling was necessary, they decided, because summertime temperatures in some southern Arctic villages have climbed into the 80s in recent years. |
| tom_in_a_box Geek  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 316 | dont blame me because i didnt say it but my friend argues that there is no such thing as global warming purely cause by polution. the reason the world is warming up is because we are leaving another ice age. |
| Lucifers Angel King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 4751 | tom_in_a_box: we are on the verge of an ice age, thats what i heard on the tele a while ago. |
| tom_in_a_box Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 316 | Lucifers Angel: well thats would make sense then. we need to heat up before we can freeze over again |
| Lucifers Angel King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 4751 | tom_in_a_box: i think it'll come whatever we tried to do. |
| Insurgentes Post Whore  Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 23688  | Mmkay, lemme share my knowledge with you all, and clear some things up to those confused. Pollution tears up the ozone layer, which blocks so much heat from the sun from reaching the planets surface. So when the ozone layer deteriorates, the planet steadily gets warmer. This is known as global warming, obviously. Global warming can cause a climate shift, that we know, as an ice age. Baffled as to how that works? It's not so complicated really... The overall temperature of the planet increases by a certain amount each year, things obviously get hotter, yes? Well, the polar ice caps consist of fresh water, not saltwater found in our oceans. If the polar ice caps continue to melt, the fresh water mixes with the saltwater, resulting in desalinization, which screws up the North Atlantic current, to which we in the Northern Hemisphere owe our habitable climate, therefore plunging us into an ice age after a massive, violent storm brings the fronts through. Global warming is happening people, and the cracked ice shelves, are your proof. We may not notice such little temperature rises, but the ice sure does, as it's been melting. But, weather happenings all across the world, also serve as a compass. Take Katrina for example. Sure, people can argue it was just a really strong hurricane. But at the time, and near that time, all kinds of other junk was going on like the Tsunamis, etc. Then you have the record highs we were getting this year. All over the country, and most likely in other areas of the world as well. Where I live, it get to 100 degrees, perhaps 5-6 times a summer. That's it. It was 105+ For a week straight here. A WEEK STRAIGHT. Then after it cooled some, it was still 95-100 for the next 10 days. I have never seen a summer so bad here. Our climate is already on a huge decline as it is from just watching the weather. These weather happenings might not seem related, but they are, what happens around the world, is interconnected because of that current I mentioned above. It if gets disrupted in the least little way, Mother Nature wreaks havoc. |
| tom_in_a_box Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 316 | Lucifers Angel: yeah if its gonna happen its gonna happen right? personally i dont believe it is JUST the damage to the ozone layer that is to blame because they are now proving it is repairing itself |
| Insurgentes Post Whore Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 23688 | tom_in_a_box:But is it reparing itself faster than what we destroy it? That's the question. You can't stop an ice age. It's a course of nature, you can only delay it. |
| tom_in_a_box Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 316 | but if it is an onset of another ice age then that cant really be our fault and there is only so long you can delay it whether to cut out polution or not |
| Insurgentes Post Whore Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 23688 | tom_in_a_box:The idea, is to delay it as long as possible. Not only is an ice age a threat of global warming, but it can make parts of the world unhabitable because they would get too hot. Some plants wouldn't be able to thrive, food chains would be disrupted, and it would just be chaos. One food chain, can ruin everything in an area. |
| tom_in_a_box Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 316 | i know that. all im saying is we cant stop it indefinately just like we cant blame one thing for the cause of it either |
| Insurgentes Post Whore Age: 37 Gender: Female Posts: 23688 | tom_in_a_box:Things can be blamed for it when they are scientifically proved. The global warming talks, and how pollution and the burning of fossil fuels are ruining the ozone, have been going on since I was little, and I am a total weather nut (as I'm sure you can gather by now) so I have been watching. I've grown up watching and studying the weather, or at least trying. And the weather is declining. The idea is to delay it and preserve things as long as possible. Don't worry too far ahead, you lose sight of what's in front of you and what's going on in the now. It can't be stopped, and one thing can't be blamed. It's a variety of causes, and people across the world pointing the finger and aruing, isn't going to help delay this. |
