Is Global Warming Real?

[Sithara007]

Yes global warming is totally real! Summers are becoming more longer and same is the case with winters. Every year now we are breaking the records of how hot would it be! All of it is a consequence of global warming. Glaciers are melting. Even a very huge chunk of glaciers have melted in himalayas

The tropical glaciers are just vanishing. The effects can be seen in many of the mountain ranges, such as Andes, Himalayas and Kilimanjaro in Africa. Now it needs to be seen how the extinction of these glaciers are going to affect the fresh water flows in these regions. Already evidence has come to support the claim that many of the rivers are witnessing a decrease in their volumes.

Shut your miners .

Wait for the 900 millions migrants to arrive and 4 billions africans... it's gonna be fun!

They are fleeing the heat. If it's this hot in Europe, I can't even imagine what temperature is in Africa.

Yes. It is global warming. If we don't mitigate this worsening dillema of the world i could probably say that in twenty years time, we will surely be like fried eggs. Or so, we will definitely be buried on big waves. That would be frightening.

Global warming is the sudden increase of our earth temperature. We can feel global warming right now and it is dangerous. One proof is even it is already rainy season, we can feel hot temperature. If this continue, the ice in the arctic region will melt so the water in the ocean will rise. We should avoid burning plastics that is harmful in the earth.

Nobody really knows. Look, I’m somebody that gets it, and nobody really knows. It’s not something that’s so hard and fast.

[DrGuns4Hands]

ofcourse globalwarming is real . right now it's happening. it's really hot than before and also sun rays can cause right now unlike before that sunrays had a vitamin d. right now sunrays is just a thing that cause cancer on our skin cells. that's why i like to be scientist because i want to study living things.

I don't know why some people don't believe in Global Warming, it has been part of us ever since there are carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gases that pollute the environment. It's one of the leading causes of the increased death of animals, particularly in Africa. There are a lot of ways that you could help contribute to the betterment of the environment, one is research.

[CookieGums]

They are jokers, they do not feel the severe cold and hot in there countries that will make people die, global warming is huge disaster in earth

[xianrf20]

Global warming is real and it is happening. When we say global warming we are referring to a condition where the Earth temperature is increasing both land and water. Do I  need to elaborate it or I just need site an example, try to go outside your house during 10:00a.m.- 3:00 p.m. you will feel the abnormal temperature even with the use of your senses. Do be ridiculous accept the fact that you are living in a changing world.
 

[Spendulus]

yes, of course global warming is real, that is why the sea water rises when ice in Antarctica is melting.

NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses

Temporary gains in the ice sheets can't reverse the damage done during the past many decades. And you are talking about Antarctica. What about the Arctic? The last time I heard, there were predictions that the Arctic Sea will be completely ice free in the summer. Overall, the trend is negative and you can't deny that. The rising sea level is a proof for that.

The statement that I corrected was about Antarctica. It's not temporary gains.

What about the Arctic?

Arctic ice is SEA ICE. Floating ice. The sea level does not change when Arctic ice melts.

"Overall the trend is negative..."

I have no idea what trend you refer to.

The tropical glaciers are just vanishing. The effects can be seen in many of the mountain ranges, such as Andes, Himalayas and Kilimanjaro in Africa. Now it needs to be seen how the extinction of these glaciers are going to affect the fresh water flows in these regions. Already evidence has come to support the claim that many of the rivers are witnessing a decrease in their volumes.

I'm not quite following that. If a glacier shrinks, in the short run that increases ground water, which should cause a rise in rivers. In the longer run, is there a decrease in river volume?

The hydrologic cycle describes how water evaporates, then is deposited as rain or snow, then moves downhill to streams and rivers and eventually to oceans then to evaporate again.

Generally, the only way for a decrease in river volume to occur would seem to be for an area to have lower humidity in the air.

Sure, there could be some localized areas basically to the sides of glaciers that would have water flow affected by the shrinking (or expanding) of a glacier. So what?

You would have to be a big fool if you think global warming is a hoax. We've been feeling the effects of it everywhere more times this year than probably a decade. Its real.and its here and if we don't do something quick, it will slap us so hard in the face that we may not be able to stand back up

[stronghands4lyfe]

110% it is real and it is coming. Even here in my home country where weather is quite tame year round. Now all seasons has begun to get more extreme as every year passes.

[edmond_dantes]

I don't know very much about it but there are a lot of hurricanes happening all at once

No different from previous years on the long scale.  The media would love to tell you it is the result of global warming... but how do you get such strong storms both your ocean and air are warmer?
Is there some sort of climate fluctuations taking place?  Sure.  Is man the cause of all of it?  Doubtful at this point.

It has already reached a stage where the effects can't be reversed (at least with the current technology). If we try hard to stop the situation from worsening any further, then our future generations may be having a planet where they can reside. If not, they will have to wander in the outer-space in space-ships, like the nomads and the gypsies.

I don't know of any scientific basis for the alarmist scenario you have projected.

[Spendulus]

I have some news for you (and I live in an area these storms affect).

Hurricanes are normal weather.

That's why every year about August to October is called "Hurricane Season."

[Janademir4]

this is true there are many facts that have been seen among others:
These temperature rise effects do not have to wait long to emerge, as signs of the effects of global warming start to appear today. Heating melts glaciers and sea ice, changing rainfall patterns, and causing movement of animals. The earth has suffered from some of the effects of global warming. Here are the more obvious impacts of climate change:

Ice melts all over the world, especially in the Earth's poles. This melting includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering Western Antarctica and Greenland, as well as Arctic sea ice.
Many species have been affected by rising temperatures. For example, a researcher named Bill Fraser, has tracked down Adelie's penguin population in Antarctica, whose number has shrunk from 32,000 pairs to 11,000 in 30 years.
Sea levels have risen more rapidly over the last century.
Some species of butterflies, foxes and alpine plants have moved further north or to higher and cold regions.
Precipitation (rain and snow) has risen on average worldwide.
Some invasive species are growing rapidly. For example, the population of pine bark beetles exploded in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summer. This insect has chewed over 4 million hectares of pine trees.

Global warming is the sudden increase of our earth's temperature. Global warming is really happening in our world now in fact it is getting many negative effect. One proof that global warming is really happening is when we observed that even it is rainy season, we can feel hot temperature in our surrounding. If this continue, there is a possibility that the arctic region can melt so many low lying areas may disappear. Global warming, along with the cutting and burning of forests and other critical habitats, is causing the loss of living species.
