I  am very concerned about global Warming, The east coast could be underwater and the northpole could be gone in as little as 50 years. Today's choices could have a dramatic effect on the future. yet NOTHING is being done :(.

it's really interesting.. the 12% answer is correct as a close approximation.\nThe interesting thing to note is that we are supposed to be causing globabl warming. This figure puts makind really into a good global perspective.\nThe next thing to do is see how much smoke and gas volcanos and thermal springs pump into the world every year. \nThen add in all the gases caused by animal excrement (include human in the numbers), and all the plantlife on the planet (including photosynthesising plants and animals in the oceans) and you start to build a very good picture that mankind is not causing global warmnig.

I am very concerned with the rash of natural disasters that are happening and can only really attribute them to global warming. Our planet has the ability to "rebuild" the ozone, but not quickly enough at the rate we are depleting it. I think as Americans and as a consumer nation, we need to get on the clue train about how much we are harming our world by car emmisions and we need to switch to a clean alternative. It's possible, but we fear change.

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.

I grew up in a conservative home, although I didn't know it at the time. Politics were not the dinner table topic. In may teens, I started to become more liberal in my view of the world. By my twenties,I was wild, and free, and I was all but full blow liberal by this time.With the birth of my first daughter, that all started to change.I guess I started to become my parents. Now I'm back to being a conservative. Some of my liberal views remain, some what. Like, while I don't think Global warming is caused by human consumption, I also don't think we should go knocking down every tree because we can.I live in Florida, Trust Me I know what progress can do to a pristine environment.\n\nIn short. You are product of your environment.If it changes your out look will too.\n\nHappy birthday to me I'll be 40 in 3 days.

1.As for the environment -I think people are finally waking up - more and more people are aware and concerned about the environment and realize it is up to us (mankind) to make the changes its not going to just SOLVE itself. -more and more people recycle these days and consume less waste than before but it is still not enough YET -but I believe it is going to get there - We have no choice in the matter but to try. I think recycling should be a WORLD ENFORCED LAW!! - if we are going to see any real improvement for the environment it would start there. And soon  I think cars will be mostly hybrid and there will be less need and someday no need for gasoline -that will change alot for the environment. I am very possitive that it is improving (slowly but surely) -the world has been negative for so long and now its starting to be more possitive - and people are not taking it for granted as much as they used to. \n\n2.As for society -People are starting to realize that life is not meant to be this agonizing, terrible ordeal full of pain and hardships- Life is suppossed to be Wonderful and can be - you have to make it that way - I think people have a stronger awareness of what life is for - to live it to the fullest - we all want the same things - happiness, love, security and freedom - I see the future of the world as being very promising - more and more people turning to spirituality in a broader understanding, more people meditate and have a stronger consiousness of the world around them and how our attitudes and actions reflect the worlds well being- more and more people have EVOLVED by opening there minds to the limitless possibilties this world has to offer inside and out and the power we as humans truely posess - if you think the world is being distroyed than you have a WEAK mind and are participating in destroying it just by thinking that and are following the narrow minded thinking of the masses that put the world in Jeopardy to begin with - man has STUPIDLY manifested this all negitive things to happen -it is time we manifest the world to HEAL and Replinish -I feel I am one of those people who have evolved - If you think it so be it- I beleive one day the world will attain WORLD PEACE- I may not live to see it but I hope My daughter does - if not I KNOW a descendant of mine will .\nI believe John Lennin was a Genius!!\nlisten to the words of the song IMAGINE\nI believe those words to that song will come true some day -I believe he was suppossed to write that song as a message to us of what the WORLD is intended to be!!! \nOPEN YOUR MINDS people dont dwell in the dark ages any longer -its just ignorant - try to use more than ten percent of your brain -the SAKE of the WORLD depends on it!!! -Think about it (think about it with more than 10% !!! ) God made us to be smarter than that it time we use it!!!

Global Warming.....glaciers melting and too much water for the land.

Many scientists believe that we are actually heading toward a global ice-age as opposed to a global warming.  \n\nAlthough a work of FICTION Michael Crichton's "State of Fear" provides evidence to support this.\n\nI suggest reading it (it's FIRST AND FOREMOST a good FICTION book, but is supported by genuine theories and statistics that ARE IN FACT from "Science" and "Nature" magazines, the worlds fore-most scientific mags)\n\nTo be honest I don't think we're experiencing anything unnatural about our environment right now.

The fact that the globe has been slowly warming up ever since the last ice age should be reason enough to suspect that global warming isn't at all a catastrophe.  We people on Earth really need to start looking to other problems like natural resources.

Finally someone has come to their senses.  The problem with "global warming" is that you can't prove or test anything!  Its all in theory.   Check some of these sites and read the Crichton novel "State of Fear".

I feel they will continue unless addressed global warming problems are acted upon as apposed to just being talked about.\nI feel worse weather is yet to come. Since I am not omniscient, I cannot guarantee these things will happen but it is my assumption they will?

You're a fool if you don't believe in global warming.  That is happeneing and vetted by alot of scientists.\n\nNow, the cause of global warming is certainly up for discussion/debate.

Global warming.... It is a long term problem that is not going away, it affects the whole planet and all forms of life, most of the other problems mentioned above affect mainly the selfish human populous.\n\nWhat can you do?....\n\nStop buying products with palm oil is a good start (most rain forest is cleared for palm oil plantations)\n\nTurn off the lights you are not using\n\nDon't leave your PC on all day\n\nDon't leave things on standby (almost the same as leaving a light on)\n\nTry not to use your car quite so much\n\nSome informative and useful sites\n\nhttp://www.mec.ca/Apps/ecoCalc/ecoCalc.jsp;jsessionid=G1TlbhpQxHXzQ0wym1V5DcwxpwC1SGG7QvGYYR1XMsfSJJLk8qhK!-790721544?page=ecofootprint&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302881659&bmUID=1144345509405\nhttp://www.earthday.net/Footprint/index.asp\nhttp://resources.yesican-science.ca/energy_flow/energy_menu.html\nhttp://www.footprintbc.com/

I don't believe in global warming. This plant was here before us and will be here after we're long gone.
