Bring on Global warming!!!

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Yes the ocean will rise by a few feet if the glaciers melt...Heck there might not be global warming at all as most data supports. But if there is why would more C02 be a bad thing? Plants like co2 in they will grow like crazy=more food for us!,,,Also faster better northern ocean sea ways to ship food in other stuff.

So yes global warming is good for all of us...More food and easlier shiping roots. Its all good. Global warming is a good thing for all us humans on this planet.

I say it can't come soon enough...The more the better I say.

[Extremeweatherguy]

the climate would completely shift though; so many crop producing areas would become deserts or oceans. Also, the added heat would lead to many more deaths from heat stroke. The worst affect would be the storms. Hurricanes and thunderstorms would all have the potential to be much, much, much worse. Category 4 and 5 hurricanes may become the norm. In the end though, I do not think we have to worry. In my opinion, the warming will be counter-balanced by cooling and we will see a climate similar to or slightly deviated from that of today (Or at least that is what I hope happens).

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

For one it does not mean more hurricanes...Maybe there strength but there is no data to support this increase means anything. I think this is a cycle. Global warming is good for all us! I find something like Global warming interesting in can't wait to see how it turns out!

I'd prefer an ice age myself.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Me to!

[Weatherfreak14]

If all of yall sayin bring on global warning. Then all you are sayin is to bring on death and destruction and homes lost, people with no heat and food possibly starving for the people in the northern and mid states.

If yall are serious about sayin "bring on global warming" you are just stupid

[x-y-no]

Even only a couple of feet sea level rise would displace hundreds of millions of people.

[gtalum]

To say "global warming is good" is ignorant. It's not just a simple small increase in global temperatures. There will be more storms, more intense storms, and problems everywhere. The US will become mostly a desert. Millions will be displaced from coastal communities, as x-y-no has pointed out.

Are you craving attention so badly that you would intentionally say something completely asinine just to get a reaction from people ? I have a hard time believing you are truly this uninformed.

The ocean will rise a few feet ... 13-20 feet is more then a few. Might not be any global warming ? As most data supports ? I seriously suggest you pull your head out of whatever oil company sponsored book you just read and actually read even "some" of the data real scientist are producing right now. "Most" of the data says not only is global warming happening it's more severe then they ever thought.

How can more CO2 be bad ? Are you truly this ignorant ? If you can even ask this question seriously then it proves that you know absolutely nothing about anything that is not a spinning thunderstorm.

I strongly suggest you actually educate yourself on a subject before making asinine statments like they are facts kiddo.

1# Nope just saying what I believe...In which is that this is nothing more then a climate cycle. The earth has gone through hundreds if not thousands of warm then cold periods. Also to note is we are just coming out of the god for saking little ice age...No wonder we are warming up. 1,000 years ago people where farming on greenland...While Grapes and whine was grown in france. Yes the climate was warmer...Then boom the faverable farming went under ice...

Heck its still under ice...Many periods over the last hundred thousand years has gotten this warm. Fellowed by cold ice ages...At the end of the last ice age the glaciers where down to seattle/new york line. A mile deep glacier covered all of canada. This melted at 11,500 years ago. New york island is the rocks that got pushed up from the edge of this.

No I'm not doing this to bring attion but the truth. Also durning the last ice age the sea level was a good 400 feet lower then it is today. You also had the land bridge from Russia to Alaska at that time. The eastern United states where larger also. So we are coming out of this ice plus a little one...So sure the sea level still is rising slowly.

One more thing Co2 helps in plant groth, also the oceans are co2 sinks which as rain falls it takes the co2 unlike Venus. So yes we maybe warming up with slowly rising sea levels. Also to note there was a time when the seas levels where higher then they are today...Heck there was a inland sea over the central united states, with sharks and other sea life being found...Read that up!

Last night, stupid Matt Drudge was taking this weekend's cold temps and using them as an argument against global warming. Pure ignorance.

At this point, I don't see how anyone can dispute the ever-rising CO2 levels. I don't see how anyone can even argue it

We'll see... I still think that Global warming will be no where near the level many scientists are predicting, and I really would not be surprised to see a global cooling effect take place down the road.

[Aquawind]

Holy Cow... Ummm I am tempted to lock this thread.. Pretty much the planet agree GW is happening.. We know this planet has been many degrees cooler and warmer during it's life. To think this warming trend is going to stop and the effects minimized is not responsible in that it has already happened in the past and this is nothing at this point.

Do some research people get some perspective.. The debate now is how much man has influenced the cycle and who is going to pay for minimizing the human factor..well partially.

[Extremeweatherguy]

What? As far as I have heard, the GW debate is still very much alive. How do explain Asia having it's coldest December in over 20 years? How do you explain the first freeze and snow in parts of SW Asia in over 70 years? Also, what about the Gulf stream issue. Scientists are saying that the salenity may lower to a level where the flow may stop, thus sending eastern north America and western Europe into a mini ice age. I do not deny that GW has occured over the last few decades, but I do not agree on the fact that we may see an up to 10F temperature rise over the next century. Once we can get modeling and forecasting a little more accurate within the weekly range, then may be I will believe the forecasting and modeling at the yearly or decade range. Simply put, I am still not convinced that NYC will be as warm as Atlanta or Tallahassee anytime soon.

[greeng13]

the salinity would be decresing due to the amount of frshwater being unleashed by melting glaciers!!!!

humans can't breath CO2

we've stripped a lot of the rainforests which might be able to filter that CO2

in addition to that the increased heat would kill a lot of northern vegatation and forest growth to boot...not to mention possibly threaten the rainforests as well (flooding and high temperatures near the equator).

with increased intensity from tropical cyclones as you suggest (i am not saying MORE storms) that might mean that instead of being beneficial for the precipitation they provide these TC's will cause more mudslides and wipe out more vegetation than would already be gone by a rise in temperature and sea-level.

sounds great

i really look forward to it.

oh i forgot you need to factor in over-population...but i guess you'll be "one of the lucky ones"

[HurricaneHunter914]

If this continues Florida will have alot more water parks.

My two cents . . . the globe is warming, but it's not "global warming" brought on entirely by humans.

The earth cycles as described in several different posts above, and scientifically we should be at a peak in temperatures sometime in the next 100 years or so, as the Little Ice Age centered around 1300 IIRC is long gone, and the globe is going to peak out in temperatures before heading into another similar period of cooler times. Also, we are long overdue for a major Ice Age - typical interage periods are around 200,000 years - our last was 700,000 years ago. Long trend science supports at most a brief (100-200 year warm-up) before cooling down some, if not significantly. Yes, you say there is not denying that there is an increase in greenhouse gases, and I'm not, I know for a fact that greenhouse gas is skyrocketing, particularly CO2 and O3, but how do we know this isn't just some kind of a long-term cycle that the earth goes through every 2000 years or so? Granted, atmospheric gaseous analyses of the mineral layers don't ever support such high levels of gas as we have now during the time period of the modern human (past 1-2 million years or so), but such brief peaks of 100-200 years are nearly impossible to determine when your 1-2 million year-old layer is only a few feet thick at best.

"Global warming" as the media has created it may or may not exist - we won't know for sure until we've been here another million years or so. Until then, I'm sticking with my natural cycles theory.

Matt, are you trolling? Please stop.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Hardly trolling ...Just trying to get through that this climate cycle has happen many times.

Heck I agree. ITS A CYCLE expect it to warm up a few more degrees. And Greenland to mostly melt off...While France will be able to grow grapes again...
