Is Global Warming Getting Worse Due to Greenhouse Gases?


Global warming is a truly worldwide problem which humankind must solve. According to the Third Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the average world temperature is predicted to rise by 1.4 to 5.8 degrees C by the year 2100. Is this the beginning of a global rise in temperature due to the greenhouse gases which we discharge?

The average temperature on the earth rose by 0.6 degrees C in the past 100 years. There have been extensive debates regarding whether or not this phenomenon was caused by humans¡Ç release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Because the earth's average temperature continually rises and falls, following a natural cycle, it is difficult to differentiate between a temperature rise due to that natural cycle and a temperature rise resulting from human activities.


The latest research indicates, however, that the rapid temperature rise in the last quarter of the 20th century cannot be explained by natural causes alone; on the other side, doubts have been raised about the impact of human activities on this phenomenon.
quick quotes:there is a possibility that large-scale changes in climate may take place.seasonal patterns may undergo drastic changes, patterns of rainfall and snowfall may change, with a subsequent impact on water resources. Seasonal winds and typhoon areas could change as well. Abnormal weather conditions, already frequent and widespread, may increase. Such rapid climate change and abnormal weather will increase the occurrence of natural disasters, and cause great damage to society.Global warming will cause great damage to the ecological system, which took such a long period of time to develop. This damage will be in forms such as the destruction of forests, desertification, and large-scale changes in atmospheric circulation. The collapse of the delicate balance in the ecological system will cause the extinction of many species of living things, among them many species which are beneficial to humankind. This will be a very large loss. Similarly, the natural environment around us will undergo major changes, and we will lose many marshes and wetlands inhabited by diverse flora and fauna.
is this not happening already? have seen reports on species in decline,recent heat waves

When opportunity knocks, take advantage. This might be a good opportunity to get rid of 2-3 Billion people.

And how would you like it if your friends, family, and you yourself were part of that 2-3 billion?

Interesting comment. How would you feel if it was people close to you that would die. Or doesn't it matter?

well, that's a pretty morbid thought - and the hard-core doomers haven't come out to play on that question yet!

Has anyone ever given thought to that maybe nothing is actually changing as much as it appears? With our technology today, we are more "aware" of everything going on in the world because of such widespread media coverage. Carnage is covered and shown in more detail than ever before,...heatwaves have struck before, etc. Events are over-hyped just to sell. Also, with this same technology, we are detecting disturbances on/in the earth that would have gone unnoticed before.

There have always been bloody, nasty wars.....earthquakes.... heatwaves.... blizzards... we just never had the means to see them all at onces or detect the ones in the remote regions. The world situation can appear bleak to anyone who sees it this way.

Heck, to be honest, after reading this forum for any given amount of time, I'm ready to just go home and slit my wrists or crawl under a rock.

One should continue in all hope and prayer, to the end. If we establish ourselves in the truth and peace, then we can live with godliness and contentment, that, even if this was our last day in the flesh, we would be quite prepared to die.

Until that day comes, Apostle Paul said,

Ephesians 6:13

"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

I have this scripture posted on my front door:

Zechariah 8:19

"....therefore love the truth and peace."

I think its just because we're more aware... seriously, people before WWI were making crazy thoughts on doomsday and not to mention our asteroid program which is finding more potiental hazzardess ones... the amount hasn't increased, we're are just finding them better!

about the opportunity, to ged rid of 2 or 3, Billion, i am sure he was talking about, that, as to save earth, we never want thing like that happening, but how can earth take it forever?

AS for 2hybrids, i think the same, it is because of the technology, that we know more, and this is why it appear worst than in the past, 24 hours news channels, and Internet, gives us a lot of news that we could'nt find in the past. C.

if we are really taking any notice why am i coming across stories from around the world that report on either the weather,or for say crops failing today i read that a particular species of snail are becoming extinct could be do with drought but not of a natural cycle according to wildlife experts,everything seems to be happening too fast for us to just ignore

[2Hybrids]

please refer to my original post.

I believe they've always been there - we just weren't aware of all that, just the stuff we had access to in our immediate surroundings.

There have been extinctions of species going on for hundreds of years. There are crop failures every few years. Weather has been nuts forever. You just didn't hear about it on a daily basis until the coming of the internet, satellite TV, and media hysteria.
