Yes it is only in places that are polluted. But don't worry the news or somebody will get a message out telling people not to go outside.

Humans are their biggest challenge... dealing w/ our nets, pollution and global warming for example.

yes.In the past three decades there has been a global awakening regarding environmental issues. Considerable progress is being made in addressing a variety of complex and technical problems associated with a historical disregard of these issues. But environmental issues continue to be some of the most important and perplexing problems facing all governments today.\n\nPart of the difficulty facing politicians and the public is the technical complexity of the subject. A full understanding of the risks that we face is often limited to scientists who specialize in a particular field of knowledge. On some issues there is serious disagreement among scientists which puts lay policy makers in a very difficult dilemma. 2\n\nThe resolution of environmental problems also involves a careful balancing of competing interests and values. Although business interests frequently resist attempts at environmental regulation, this resistance usually reflects a public demand for products and development. Some environmental activists oppose many aspects of further human economic development because of threats to the remainder of the ecosystem. Others are chiefly concerned about current and future threats to the health of the human population. 3\n\nEnvironmental issues present special difficulties for developing countries. These countries pose a big potential threat of exacerbating threats to the environment. But absent massive infusions of assistance from richer countries, they cannot afford to match environmental controls being adopted by developed countries.\n\nIn August 2002, a global environmental summit sponsored by the United Nations convened in Johannesburg, South Africa. Despite some agreements, the meeting is an overall disappointment for many environmental activists. The positive spirit which had been generated from a similar meeting in Rio de Janiero ten years earlier was absent. Much of the criticism was directed at the United States. President Bush was one of the few major heads of state who chose not to attend

I completely agree, except for the speculation that the environment might not get taken care of, simply based on the fact that there has been little done to help the environment all along.\nWith that said, I do feel Christians are living out a self fulfilling prophecy, as it is in human nature to create that which is most thought about. I do think it is an unfortunate reality, and something should be done about it! The problem, I feel, is really a no win situation though, considering that we are free to practice any religion we choose, and anyone has the potential to become a politician. It's an inherent catch 22 situation.

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.

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

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.

This is what bothers me.  The whole freakin oil issue.  I think that is the worst abuse on mankind AND the earth.  Because oil is the reason for this whole damn war and also oil is the earth's life blood.  How would we like it if someone was mining blood out of us and not replacing it?  We are sucking the life blood out of this planet and every single one of us is guilty!!  The rain forests are vanishing, global warming is so damn obvious but weather it is just natures course or our doing is another question I struggle with.  Maybe a bit of both.  We are probably excellurating (sp) it!\nDon't get me started.  I just had 11 hours of sleep and I could just kick anyone's butt over this whole abusing earth issue.  I know it sounds crazy but sometimes I hope man destroys himself before he destroys the planet.  \nIs that rocket ready yet baby?  We gotta get the hell out of here.

First concern:  water pollution.  We need water to live.  Our bodies have very limited ability to tolerate unclean water.  It is very hard and costly to clean up water supplies.\nSecond concern:  air pollution.  We need air to live.  Humans can tolerate some pollution, and it is easier to stop pollutants and allow air to clean itself.

I'm pretty afraid.  I don't know where we're headed economically, politically, environmentally, anything...and I'm not even sure what will be the biggest problem first.  For instance, it's relatively clear that climate change will be an issue, but when?  And is it even possible at this point for us to turn some of these things around?

Why are you asking the same question over and over again? I checked your profile for recently asked questions, and your latest 1 has been asked 5 times in a row. I understand you excitement about fuel from water, because quite frankly I feel the same way, given that we are so close to no longer needing to rely on fossil and nuclear and living fuels. We are so close to being able to reverse the damage we have done to this beautiful planet. We are so close to eliminating poverty, malnutrition and disease. We are so close to world peace, harmony and unity. Our job now is to first apply it to our own lives, demonstrating by example that it works and it's safe and cheap, and then help others to do the same. Telling people that it is available will not be nearly as effective as showing them by driving down the street in a car that everyone can see is running on water. spread the word BY acting as an example. In the words of Gandhi, "Be the change you wish to see in the world!" Blessed Be.

Most definitely, but not in a paranoid sense. Its human nature, heirarchy, divine right. Humans are a crafty sort, when you group the crafty rich ones together, they realise how much they enjoy their lives walking (or in some cases steam rolling) over humanity. I personally believe that were all being slowly poisoned in one form or another, with the pharmaceutical companies and medical sector to benefit... check out knowmore.org and look at bayer and dow's track record alone... (The part about toxic/carcinogenic chemical legislation is scary) have a bucket and towel handy. But to answer your question less rhetoricaly, the over-population crisis is and has been slowly spiraling out of control without any form of boundaries. What better culprit than cancer to take care of that problem?  (oh, the rate of cancer a hundred years ago compared to now would definitely support that)
