No second chance: can Earth explode as a result of Global Warming?

The ice caps are melting due to an increase in the atmospheric temperature caused by the build up of green house gases which trap infrared energy from the sun close to the surface from the Earth and prevent it from being reflected back out into space. I have never heard any theory before that tries to say that the Earth's core, either inner core or outer mantel layer, are heating up and causing the ice caps to melt. For the core to heat up it would require the input of more energy than is there. And there is no "reaction" taking place. It is super heated molten metal, mainly iron, under pressure that is swirling and generating a magnetic field that protects the Earth from high energy cosmic radiation. Do you have any references to peer reviewed reputable scientific publications to support your claim about the heating up of the Earth's inner core? But in general good discussion that raises a lot of concerns about the changing weather patterns and the future of civilization as a result. I give you a + for actually bringing up a legit topic of discussion.

even there was no feeling of winter in most part of america due to global warming.in the history of 100 years this is the first time that newyork has not witnessed even one day of snow fall in winter.do you know the reason--it is because of one of the consequence of global warming.hope we wont be the last one.but we should aware of its effect.

hmmm, i don't see how the inner core could be heating up, inless increased water temps and land temps won't have the same cooling effects. But I'm a lot more worried about the change in climatic conditions. Increased flooding, more drought, change in vegetation patterns, more unpredictable weather and so on. I would not want to be around in 100 years time.

I am not a scientist but here is what I found on the http://www.nrdc.org/globalWarming/fcons.asp Consequences of Global Warming Unless we act now, our children will inherit a hotter world, dirtier air and water, more severe floods and droughts, and more wildfires. Plus The latest scientific data confirm that the earth's climate is rapidly changing. Global temperatures increased by about 1 degree Fahrenheit over the course of the last century, and will likely rise even more rapidly in coming decades. The cause? A thickening layer of carbon dioxide pollution, mostly from power plants and automobiles, that traps heat in the atmosphere. Scientists say that unless global warming emissions are reduced, average U.S. temperatures could rise another 3 to 9 degrees by the end of the century -- with far-reaching effects. Sea levels will rise, flooding coastal areas. Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense. Droughts and wildfires will occur more often. Disease-carrying mosquitoes will expand their range. And species will be pushed to extinction. As this page shows, many of these changes have already begun.

well every thing this is world is in a balance......and once that balanace is no more balance something or the other will happen some bad neways u can find ur answer here http://nujournal.net/core.pdf

yes I read that polar ice is melting rapidly, I think about 3 times faster if not mistaken. I don't think we will be the last one though. Humans have survived the worst millions of years ago, and at the time we didn't have advanced technology at all. Surely someone knows how to use technology to our advantge whenever necessary. I might not survive, anyone located close to the pole might not, but humanity will. I'm more concerned about animals and plants right now.

No way, earth will never explode. Otherwise Mercury, Venus or Mars would also explode...

Yes, it's a fact and awareness is still not there and that is strange and what you have said here is absolutely right an dmany are shouting since years that something has to be done and no body seems to have taken enough attention to this and this time it has increased and in coming years it might reach to an extent that we might be in a helpless position for sure....

No, if you notice a lot of those "the world is ending documentaries" created by the environmentalists even admit it could still be thousands of years before anything significant as that happen.

where do you get these Ideas? we wont be the last nor will our grand kids takes alot of time for all this to happen and (globle warming has been around what like 20 years?

The earth will be wiped out but I think it will take years to happen... But certainly it has started.

no the earth wont explode as the immense pressure in the core is reduced through frequent earthquakes and lava erruptions

No, I'm so sick of the doom and gloomers having their say on why the earth's temperatures are weird now. The truth is, earth has temperature cycles just like everything else. People cried apocalypse after the hurricanes last year, but now there were none in America this year. People cried foul with the warm winters in some places, but what about the extra COLD winter here in San Diego, where it's reached as low as 28 degrees fahrenheit? It's just not as serious as the doom and gloomists make it out to be.

Earth Won't Explode, Look At venus shes hotter than earth. it didn't explode. The temperature might not be suitable for life here on earth. All we can do is wait, and hope god or mother nature does something.

I don't think the earth is going to explode, it'll get warmer but not explode. Hopefully we aren't the last one here.

So the heat on the surface of the earth is supposed to influence the volcanic, molten rock core of the earth miles and miles under the surface of the earth? I don't buy it. Is this from some news source or did you make it up?

nono,i think it may not be that much harmful yaar..

Whatever the process / causes for global warming, this is already damaging the poorest countries in the world such as African countries where the droughts of the last 3 - 4 years have left many people starving (and these people do not believe the situation can improve int eh future). Let's hope the scientists will find "clean" renewable sources of energy in the near future.

Sure it can. Anybody remember what happened to the planet Krypton? It exploded. Who says it won't happen here too? If the earth takes a notion to explode, just what exactly does anyone think we could possibly do about it? This whole Global Warming because of man is a thing for comic books and science fiction.

Till now I never thought of earth's heating up from the inner core. So there is the double attack. People of this world are not only prone to the heat of the atmosphere but also the heat that is generated by the earth. Now the question is can trees and plant survive this heat from inner core? Imagine if they don't and what will people do for their food. A new thought and concept for me to go about in my future articles, thanks.
