My brother who has recently graduated from year 12 has told me today that global warming doesn't exist. He told me that the CO2 we put into the atmosphere are just billions of the percentage in the atmosphere and the rising of temperature (and decreasing) are just part of a cycle on Earth.
What are your thoughts on global warming do you think it exists?

nope global warming does exist centuries ago.i dont believe global warming at all.


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Yes I must say my brother has changed my mind. Apparently in the industrial age when we had lots of factories going the temperature actually decreased. Part of a cycle.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jb78000 (1626)   ranked 1,076 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

carbon emissions have been steadily increasing since the industrial revolution - dramatically so since the seventies. in addition there is a delay before effects are felt. a cold spell during the industrial revolution is irrelevant.

Its absolutely true and no doubt about that. I have read about this. In short I can create an awareness by saying that around +3 degree celsius in increased for every 27 years.


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Hmm, perhaps you are right. I suppose there is no way to know but to just keep pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and see what happens. Remember that just because you read about something doesn't make it true. The media will always exploit things for views.
The idea of global warming is opposed though. There are scientists that think it's true and scientists who believe it's false.

'Remember that just because you read about something doesn't make it true. The media will always exploit things for views.'

Not only to the media exploit certain things but they also use certain items of news and make them bigger than they are to hide something else from us, something which is often much more important too doh

Some may think this but it has been proven. I am currently studying it and it has to do with the Greenhouse effect. Its really our emmisons from cars and what not that are putting little holes in the atmosphere. The atmosphere is what keeps us safe from the suns harmful rays. So if there are holes in the atmosphere the suns rays are a lot stoger and more harmful. It is a hard concept to understand. The reason may not think it is true is becasue the earth does change in climate over millions of years. I just read that the earth if it was not for humans should be in another ice age now or coming close to it, but since the world is heating up ice cannot form. I hope this helped a little it is really hard stuff to explain.


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

yes the idea of global warming seems to just be lots of predictions and guesswork and nothing can be proven for certain. I don't know if there is a way to know if we should be in an ice age right now and couldn't begin to imagine how people could know that. I do agree that it is definitely a hard concept to understand.


myLot reputation of 83/100. solson (343)   ranked 6,306 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Well bud sictist have done a lot of studying on this and and ice age occurs around every 2 million years(i do not know if that is right number somewhere close though). They can tell this by going to Antarctica and drilling out the snow and ice and looking the difference. The snow there is like a onion with layers. So i believe that is how they do that kind of work. If you would like me to get you absolute facts i can try and do that for you.

I think people have very mixed opinions on this topic.. I think Global warming is true but I am tired of hearing about Global warming with every change of weather we experience.. We get to much rain its because of global warming.. We have a mild winter its global warming.. I guess I am just tired of hearing about it and about how everything is due to global warming


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Yes it's true everything seems to be about global warming these days. Even things like storms and cyclones are being blamed on global warming. I am also tired of hearing about it.

Yea Global Warming is Truth. I am not graduate at all but its my own experience. I am 19 years old now a Days. When i am 8 Years Old The Winter here in Karachi Starts on October to March. But now a Days its just two months January & February that means World Climates changes. so its wrong to say Global Worming Don't Exist.

have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Yes there seems to be a lot of evidence it seems but its not 100%. There will probably always be people opposed to it. My brother tells me it's just part of the Earth's natural cycle and our emissions have almost no effect.
Hard to say considering the massive amount of people who will give you evidence to prove global warming is true.

I have saw the news that some scientist fond that CO2 did rarely influence to the atmosphere on the previos period. I usually think my earth is movement, a period tend to be cold and another period tend to be warm. You can't say the global getting warmer and the earth will be bad, it maybe just in the period. Of course we must pretect the earth, but need't fell afraid of the carbon dioxide.


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Yes I think I agree with you and this heating of the Earth we are experiencing is temporary. And yes global warming is just a tiny problem compared to the slew of bad things going on in this world.


calmingblue (74)   ranked 20,567 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

hehehe~~Instand of worry about the global warming, I'm anxious more about the winter's coming. Now winter will come soon, the weather become more and more cold, and the ice,the snow will hit me. Oh can we use the carbon dioxide to change the winter warmer?...


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

haha. I live in Australia so it's just starting to become hot now. Yay! it can get up to 40 degrees Celsius or 104 Fahrenheit here.


calmingblue (74)   ranked 20,567 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Then you are the Australian? Oh Australia is in southern hemisphere. I'm chinese,in the north.
So your english is evey well? My english is so poor, I holp you can understand what I mean.hehe


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Haha. Yea your english is quite good actually it's one of the hardest languages to learn and I get what you mean;). Yea I'm in the southern hemisphere and it's getting very hot here.

they take abt the global warming that cause the ice berg to melt.my teaory its all becau the human pupulation in increasing.just give a room with 2 person inside and place the termometer and record the tempreture after that place 15person inside in the same room and read the tempreture u can see a drastic tempreture rising.


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Apparently the ice melting is just part of a cycle of the Earth. Global warming can't be caused because thee are more people on the Earth. In a building it may heat up if more people are in it but the atmosphere is large and the heat of the sun is only being trapped in more because of the CO2 emissions from our factories and things. At least that's the theory.
Have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jb78000 (1626)   ranked 1,076 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

which cycle would this be exactly?


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Im not completely sure my brother says the earth just changes temperature as a part of a cycle and the ice that is melting will refreeze from water.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jb78000 (1626)   ranked 1,076 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

i think as someone mentioned before your brother is a little confused - i'm going to guess since he is still at school that he came across something in geography but i can't exactly explain it unless i know what it is.

8. myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11810)   ranked 2,609 out of 37,951 in life   3 weeks ago

I do not understand the whole theory of global warming and Ihave listened to pieces of both sides, those who agree and those who don't.

All I can see is that things have altered tremendously in the last three decades. I am in Italy and we only have two seasons now - summer and winter. When I first moved here over thirty years ago it was a different situation woth four very specific seasons. Two weeks ago our temperatures were still up very high for the time of the year and it was unusal. Then suddenly, almost overnight, it changed. One day the temperature was 27°C and the next day at exactly the same time it ws only 8°C and it remained low like that ever since.

What has caused it we can only guess and listen to the theories by those who study these things. One thing we will never be able to do in my opinion is alter it. The weather is beyond our control.


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Yes it has altered in some places and this could be evidence to both theories but there is lots we don't know about Earth.

ok, well first of all global warming is indisputable. the thing questioned was whether it has been caused by human activity and climatologists nearly all agree that it has been. now i would like to know what cycle you are refering to and what your brother was studying?


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Okay well this supposed cycle i'm talking about is a natural cycle in which the earth changes temperature maybe due to its orbit or something. The temperature may decrease(an ice age for example) or increase.


myLot reputation of 82/100. jb78000 (1626)   ranked 1,076 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

this does happen but is not exactly what is happening at the moment. this is a bit quicker.


myLot reputation of 73/100. aulius111 (166)   ranked 4,689 out of 37,951 in life  3 weeks ago

Yes, I suppose that might be a possibility.
