Anybody concerned about global warming?

Yes, I think everybody is concerned about global warming. \n\nAm I worried? No.\n\nAm I prepared to use it as a pretext for taking away the life, property and liberty of other? Definitely not.\n\nThis is the point most peole miss. Being concerned about something is not sufficient grounds for persecuting others. \nHitler was terribly concerned about the problmes created by Jews. That doens't mean that what he did was right.\n\nBeing concerned about global warming doesn't mean that we have the right to take away property or freedom from anyone else.

It is clear that we are in a period of Global Warming.  The average temperatures are rising.  That is a fact.\n\nIf you mean, are we suffering from a man-made global warming, that is a tougher question.  A lot of experts have debated this and disagree.  Here in Florida, we have had two really bad hurricane seasons in a row, and a lot of people are scared that this is because of "Global Warming" but the experts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric agency are reporting record warm temperatures and at the same time are downplaying the man-made causes by saying there is no "proof"\n\nAn interesting thing that may happen is that Europe may go through a mini ice age because of this warming.  There is an oceanic conveyor belt that helps distribute heat throughout the world.  This belt ends up in the Artic near Europe.  When the polar ice caps melt, there is an influx of fresh water that changes the salinity in the ocean up there.  This breaks that belt and so the warmth stays in the other portions of the globe.  There was a great special on this a couple of months ago on the History channel.\n\nI don't know if we are causing the Global Warming, but I do know that we are trashing our environment and we should be a lot better consumers so that our children and grand children will have a vibrant and healthy world to live in!

Global warming is a situation that ius no longer in mans control. Lets face the facts mother nature cant take it any more. The tornadoes in America are a starting sign that mother nature is starting to wear out and she can't hold on any longer.Possible measures are being taken but i presume that we might just have a little over 100 years then this planet goes from one beautiful blueberry into a an ice cold jawbreaker. Lets face the facts we are after all human and will go for the pleasures of life then sit and think about the future. Now i think is a good time to do that thinking part, but we are a little too obsessed with fast cars and like u have stated SUV'S.

Global Warming is a myth

Global warming is the latest trend by Governments of the world to try to convince the population that we are at fault for warming the world.  The world's weather and climate has been changing regularly over the last 15,000 years - before cars and planes were invented.  Carbon dioxide is one of the most prolific gasses in our atmosphere because it is needed for plants to survive.  Without CO2, the plants would die and we would have no oxygen which is a by product of a plant and we would all die!  Remember all the other scare stories over the years - in the 60s it was nuclear bombs from Russia, then we had SARS and bird flu, then terrorists and don't forget the hole in the ozone layer.  Every couple of years, we get a major scare story to keep the world's population under control.  The effect of global warming is that we are all paying out so called green taxes that actually do nothing to stop the problem but it sure makes the Governments rich!  What is the point of worrying about future global warming when now you have people freezing to death in the winter because they cannot afford to heat their homes because the price of gas and electric has risen so much because of green taxes?  Or we are getting plagues of rats and other vermin because Councils only collect our rubbish every two weeks because recycling is top priority?  We really should solve todays problems first before we start worrying about something that will most likely never happen.

I am a conservative and i am very concerned about Global Warming, just think, in 3or 4 trillion years the earth will warm by 3or 4 degrees. I think all of us should stock up on lotion in case we want to go to the beach in 3or4 trillion years!!

Well, I have always wondered the same question….\n\nThere’s never an answer that I thought of it being reasonable.\n\nMany times, my friends say “Who cares, it’s just temporarily, and it’ll fade away soon…”\n\nThey act like it’s not a big deal when it is.  It can affect our children, our grand-children, our grand-grand-children.  There are too much.  The suns still out, there are still many years to cover.  If we still don’t care about smoking and other uses, it’s just no help.  Just prepare to die because of stupid people who say stupid things about something they don’t even know the truth of.  \n\nLater, as Times magazine entitled an article about global warming and how it is made and stuff, I brought it to school to read, my friend saw it and start reading with me, then I pulled it away since she doesn’t even care.  Later during lunch, she’s like, ok ok, I do admit it might be big now can I really read about now?\n\nThe next day she said sorry, I never thought it could have been that serious.  Thanks for understanding anyway.  I accepted her apologue.  But I still think it’s just that people don’t research enough to prove it yet.  Things are different now.  Humans need cars, homes, and some even need cigarette.  I don’t blame it on anyone. But in my deep true heart, I blame it on many people, like for instant; I hate whoever invented the cigarette.  Every time I go a person who smokes, it make we have a hard time breathing.  Hate this person.  Whoever.\n\nIt’s just not fair.  One day, the earth will really be like a dessert.    \n\nI think every country should make a group of people who has to have every human learn about global warming and then have them take a test, but I already know it’s not a easy task and no one probably would be wiling to do it and I admit my idea is a little ridicules.\n\n\nWell, that’s my opinion..\n\n<>dia gemz\nsheri

Yeah it's getting very clear it's happening. Now we're going to have to find ways to be more efficient. It won't devour the earth, but it can potentially raise heat and suck in a few cities under water.

Global warming is the term used to describe how the average temperature of the planet is going up. No one denies that the temperature is, in fact, going up. Therefore, no one denies that global warming is a fact.\n\nHowever, according to studies of Antarctic ice, the average temperature of the planet has been rising for 6,000 years, which is well before the Industrial Revolution of 150 years ago. This proves that global warming is not caused by man. In that time, however, the rate of temperature rise has increased, which means that the actions of humanity probably has worsened the situation.\n\nThe critical facts about global warming are these:\n\nWhat are the effects of global warming going to be, and how can we prepare for them? Currently, no model of global atmospheric projection has shown itself to accurately predict to any degree the general weather patterns of the Earth (such as the number and ferocity of hurricanes). Until we come up with an accurate way of predicting the effects of global warming, preparing for them will be difficult and based upon conjectures, which are a difficult sell to taxpayers.\n\nWhat can be done to limit the effect of humanity on global warming in the future WITHOUT putting a major damper on economic growth and development, especially in developing nations? For example, all nations could agree to stop driving vehicles that use internal combustion engines, but to do so at once would devastate the economies of many nations. However, other options, such as diverting tax funds to subsidize the development of alternative-energy propulsion for vehicles, would accelerate the advent of such earth-friendly technology.\n\nAll in all, because of the massive stakes involved when discussing global warming (and the subsequent misinformation flying around about it), many people are confused as to the facts about it. I was hoping to be as informative and unbiased as possible.\n\nPlease let me know what you think!

We had a bit of summer the other week - maybe that was it for this year! Thank Mr George W Bush and his cronies for not believing global warming is changing the environment!\n\nP.S. I'm in Manchester, UK.

Oh my GOSH, It's GLOBAL COOLING.  RUN!! SAVE YOURSELVES!!

I don't see any correlation of electro-magnetic radiation and global warming at all.  Honestly, I am not even sure that we as human beings have caused what we call 'global warming'.  Every day scientists discover more and more natural patterns on this planet, some of them hundreds of years to work full swing.  This entire 'global warming' may be a 1000 year 'pattern' that we have just yet to discover because we have insufficient data (aka, haven't been measuring it long enough).\n\nBut EMF or EMR having an effect on it?  No, I don't think so.\n\nJust my .02 worth.

It is indeed a threat...But so is global warming....have you noticed the weird weather lately?

The governments with the money - US, Great Britain, and China - seem not to care that much. The US has been taken over by multinationals whose bottom line is money. Protecting the environment seems not to be profitable. The mulitnationals have bought the government and thus have gutted all the protection earlier governments have put in place. Yes, the planet has significant problems. \n\nGlobal warming is real. Read Kim Stanley Robinson's books _40 Signs of Rain_ and _50 Degrees Below_ (another one should be out to finish the trilogy soon). We have to understand that we must work as a global people. \n\nI hope that we can do that soon.

No sense in trying to stop it. We as humans have pissed mother earth off big time and now she is protecting herself. The earth will out last us. We do things to the earth and think nothing of it, it can be as simple as someone throwing a cigarette out the window, what if everyone did that? what would it look like? I go to secluded lakes and find fishing line that birds and other animals can get caught in, 6 pack rings that are deadly to our wildlife, hooks an innocent person or animal could step on, booze bottles, trash everywhere, it is sickening and we are losing land every day. No respect for her why should she care what happens to us. The only way to stop global warming is to start respecting the earth and every living thing on it, we as humans have not grasped that simple concept, no it may not happen in my life time or even yours but doom is eminent unless we smarten up, we do not own the earth we are just fortunate enough to stay here. Sadly we are ignorant souls and don't give a hoot. How sad is that?
