Yes Global warming is a serious issue not only for our generation but also for generations to come.
We need to think about what we will leave behind and what we can do about it. Small changes will
make a big impact. |

Of course it is because the entire can drown from melting ice caps and die from the heat and
humidity. |

There have been multiple debates on this site covering this subject, some of which have some good
statements. This is a highly politicized subject and the fact is that most people on both sides get
their information from political sources that are long on rhetoric and short on facts. Unfortunately
people are willing to form strong opinions without actually knowing much. I have read a lot of the
research and though I am far from an expert it is my firm belief that human activities have had and
are having a very real and growing effect on existing global climate patterns. My opinion is
supported by over thirty years of good science and by far the preponderance of the scientists that
are experts. But please don’t believe me, much of the research is easily available. Start with the
internet, but remember information on the internet is often questionable so pay attention to the
source and follow up with further investigation. |

Global Warming will cause an ice age...hard to believe i know...but it will..let me explain... Once
Greenland melts it will release fresh water into the Gulf Stream and that will stop due to the lack
of salt... The Gulf Stream keeps Europe warm ..and once the Gulf Stream shuts off then all of Europe
will freeze ..leading to an ice age. |

Everybody.... LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Global warming is a real threat and humans are the MAIN
contributors, the Earth is going through a cycle yes, but humans have put the cycle way out of its
original pattern, so we have to work and stop greenhouse gasses and get rid of our dependency on
crude oil, before it is to late. We cant reverse the damage, but we can stop it from progressing
further. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes it is because it contains resources, our lives and humans in it.
We need to handle this right now!!!!!! |
| |
|
| |
|

Global warming does exist, but it is natural.
Yes humans are contributing, but not by much.
And is more CO2 in the air really a bad thing?
If I were a plant, I'd be growing like crazy. |

Global warming is not just about what may or may not result from it. It is an important issue
because it is a challenge for humanity to overcome - the greatest challenge of this century. We have
to devote more time and money into finding solutions to global warming. |

Yah! The polar ice caps are melting. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes, it is, because it affects us all. Look at the poor polar bears having to swim farther to get to
a solid platform because of melting. What have they done to deserve it? It matters very much. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
It is an important issue, it the cause carbon dioxide build up, doubt it. Does man effect the
climate, yes, but not as the Gore movie put forward. |

I agree so much that global warming is important, and people should recycle and do more to keep our
air, and earth clean, that i am writing a essay on it! This is important and it will probably wipe
out all of us! |

Global warming as we all know is the process in which there is a rise in temperature of the earth.
The process though takes place in many years but still it is an issue which is to be dealt with
proper attention. If we try to look out for the changes every often we will not be able to do so as
global warming is a very lengthy process and it takes 1500 years to have a complete global warming
effect. But the changes are noticeable in a span of almost 15-20 years. Like if we look 15 years
back from now we will definitely be able to realize that at that time the earth’s temperature was
not that warm as it is now. But the present day the temperature is getting warmer day by day. Thus
we can feel that the global warming effect is there. |

Global warming is already affecting the world we know, endangering polar bears, shortening ski
seasons and creating more intense storms. We know how to fix this problem and prevent a global
environmental disaster. Get on our interactive map to share your concerns about a warmer planet, and
find global warming solutions that you can put into action today. |

Why wouldn't it be important? Oh wait I forgot we are selfish, and inadequate to deal with the
consequences of our actions. How many people can actually say we could survive without gas,
electricity, and cars? We are so dependent it's ridiculous. I'm guilty of it as well, so we are all
in trouble when it runs out. |

Global warming is definitely occurring rather we want to acknowledge it or not. It is something that
is beginning to affect our every day lives right now. Our winters are colder and our summers are
warmer. It is thought that within the next fifty years or so, it will get warm enough to melt the
artic. If this occurs, the melted snow will turn to water and come south covering much of our land.
Cities and towns will be wiped out forever. If this does continue to occur, our entire civilization
could eventually be wiped out. So, this is something we should be concerned about. It may not affect
us much right now, but it is something that will definitely affect our grandchildren. |

Global warming is an issue that is important to the level of being critical. The swift climatic
change is something that is caused not by a natural cycle. It is true that climatic changes take
place on regular basis but the speed of change is not as swift as it is today. The reason of this
unnaturally fast pace of climatic change is the unchecked emission of harmful gases in the air and
the high level of land, air and water pollution. This means that we are inviting this trouble on the
planet that may get out of hand in a few decades if we do not realize our error and change our ways
while we still can. |

See, here's the thing: Whether or not you believe global warming is occurring, you have to
acknowledge the fact of what happens in the long run. There's 4 possible scenarios.
1. Global warming DOESN'T exist, and we DO try to prevent it. Result: We lose time and money.
2. Global warming DOESN'T exist and we DON'T try to prevent it. Result: Nothing.
3. Global warming DOES exist and we DO try to prevent it. Result: Human capability to cope with the
change.
4. Global warming DOES exist and we DON'T try to prevent it. Result: Human suffering, economic
failure, a roadblock to technological and industrial advancement, and you can argue whatever else
may be the result of global warming.
So now it's no longer a question of whether or not exists, but whether or not we're willing to take
a chance. In the long run, does it matter if you're right or wrong? Because in the big picture, it's
whether or not you're willing to risk Case 4 against 3 cases with not-so-bad results. |

I think global warming is the greatest threat the human race has ever faced. It will probably wipe
out or entire civilisation in this century, regardless of what we now try and do about it. I don't
mean to suggest that we will have become extinct by the century's end. But those of us still alive
will be fighting a raw struggle for survival. We won't be in the position of existential comfort
needed to make scientific, cultural, and maybe even moral, progress.
The only real hope is for some quasi-magical technological solution, a la cold fusion, to come along
and save us. But that seems unlikely. |

I don't think it is an important issue.
Taking care of the planet is an important issue.
Feeding the children is an important issue.
Global warming is just a natural cycle. We may play a small part, but that's it. We will surely
destroy the earth in other ways. |

No, because God already sent a flood and He promised to never send one again. So there. |

Cloud seeding to some degree can warm temperatures... Low lying clouds brought on by cloud seeding
using planes spraying aerosols of silver iodide or several other compounds... Trap moisture at low
levels of our atmosphere.. When the sun rises, it burns this trapped moisture leaving the air
warmer..... |

Man made global warming is not true, there are cycles in which the Earth gets warmer and then cools. |

Would anybody here who supports the green movement keep supporting it if they knew it was not
climate change causing food riots, but the policies of their leaders? |

In case anyone has seen "An Inconvenient Truth," I need to point out that the movie is filled with
fallacies and mislabeled statistics. In addition, there have been numerous cycles of extreme climate
changes in the history of the earth. This is simply another natural run through that cycle. Consider
the woolly mammoth they found frozen. It was standing. That means a sudden freeze occurred and not
because of fossil fuels in the atmosphere. This world was made in such a way that it slowly cycles
through climate changes over time. There is simply no point to run the US economy into the ground to
try to slow something that we do not affect and we will not change |

I am AGAINST global warming, but willing to move inland and cope, so I guess it's just not that
important to me. |

Since the beginning of humanity, it has always faced a threat of extinction and getting swiped off
the face of the planet. Dinosaurs, Meteors, extreme weather conditions, Brutal dictators, plagues
etc have always played their role to uplift this fact. But human race is still flourishing. Do we
know if it wasn't ur own presumed global warming factor that we are facing right , then what would
have been the major threat right now?
I think we are forgetting other dark entities like Aids, Nuclear weapons, population
control,preachers of killing who want to swipe out every single human off this planet, energy
resources ending day by day. Do we know how we would be able to move locomotives when the oil
resources would extinct? Do we know how we would be able to eat when prices would reach the sky
because of scarcity of edibles?
Are we forgetting the number of billionaires increasing every year? Which can trigger the sources to
be in the hands of 1% of the population which controls 99% of the worlds economy? The political
instability in countries?
Its high time we start thinking with our own brains and stop following the regime that wants to
control our minds and divert our attention towards the path they think we should adapt. |
