Global Warming

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It is true that UN can not reverse the damages that already done to our atmosphere resulting in global warming, but can only slowing down the rate of steep infusion of CO2 of past few decades if the developed nations starting to be responsible partners in the future well being of the earth, acted in responsible way in their energy policy, until then, nothing can stop us from this adverse effect of willful destruction of earth by developed nations. It is public knowledge Bush administration reluctance to acknowledge and choose to ignore scientific analysis of climate change to protect his corporate contributors interest, and would rather blaming it on divine intervention on issue of global warming for the past eight years. Hopefully, this new administration will be less callous and act responsibly as a leader of a free world.

Yes i agree. We need someone to spearhead this operation. The pollution rate and the % of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing by the day. While its true nations can take up the task, the active countries in this are mostly developing nations, which have far more (presently) pressing concerns to worry about - like poverty, corruption and what not. Like i said, majority of the CO2 comes from coal-power plants that gives electricity to the nation - my country itself has over 50% of the power owing to this. Changing it dramatically isn't possible. Moreover, we don't have the money to switch to greener alternatives. I'm sure not even 5% of the country is really aware of their contribution to global warming - which you cant really blame them for, as they have other concerns - over 75% of the country is unemployed/seasonally employed according to recent stats - this is really saddening, but the bitter truth. To ask them to invest in greener technology, it isn't possible without government aid - and with the prevalence of corruption - its an impossibility altogether.

For your information, UN's secretary general has already started numeral meetings between industrial nations and developing nations on this issue, it is still an on going process of negotiation between them to hammer out the best solution acceptable by all parties concerned. Without the willingness of advance nations to cut down their emission level and acted responsibly in energy policy, and the emerging polluters like India and China agree to an emission cap in their future development policy, and also various other countries agree to stop deforestation of their land and greenery, our earth will not have much of a chance to avert this on slaughter of man made disaster in the future, until then, majority of world citizens will have to wait and suffer for the far reaching consequences that sure is going to take place if present trend of Co2 emission is not curbed, and it is almost certain the impoverished nations will be hit hard in decade ahead.

Climate did change several hundred years ago, there is period where it is extreme cold, then warm again, and go through the cycle again. This time scientists are more concerned about the trend of steady rising warm weather from past few decades due to unlimited CO2 ( green house gas) emission; which they found directly causes it. So far the effect had been the faster rate of icebergs melting on south and north poles, then resulting in rising sea level and destruction of some animals habitat. Whether how accurate they can predict what is going to happen hundred years from now is pretty much depend on how fast this issue is taken note of by developed world and what type of action is taken to remedy its effect. I have no doubt they can not predict the future climate correctly if they have no clue what is the result of the on going negotiation of various big polluters in UN going to end and what steps are taken by them.

Climate change did occur a few million years ago, but you forget, it's because of the ice age that dinosaurs became extinct. In cour case, it'll be because of the flame age that humans eill become extinct...

I am sure we will not have to wait till every part of the earth is experiencing 150 degree F to burn into charcoal in order to be extinct. A high temperature differentiation in yearly adjustment is enough to rise the level of intensity in various natural disasters, like hurricanes, twisters, tsunami. That is more than enough to wipe mankind off the earth. LOL!!

Thank you for your respond. I believe it's going to take a long period of consistency in CO2 reduction measures from many countries before the world can prevent the further deterioration of climate from adverse effect of global warming. I also believe the solution to this global warming is more complicated than just reduction of carbon footprint in our atmosphere, there are also other factors involved which probably play a lesser role than CO2 in causing ever rising atmospheric temperature, eg. distance between earth and sun in the solar system, cycle of sunspot, etc also play some major role in the earth warming.

I agree in all your statement, world leaders need to do something to prevent further unlimited CO2 emission so the green house gas can be put under control to save our earth. Thank for the response.
