Everybody knows about global warming and its consequences on the environment; are u ready to give up ur car?

If an alternative is in place, I'll gladly give up driving. It's expensive and unpleasant; I'd much rather spend the commute time reading the paper.

Yes, global warming has started and finished and started and finished.\n\nThe earth has been much warmer before and much colder.  It will be both much warmer and much colder again many times.

Yes.  Global Warming is occuring.  It will just keep getting worse if we don't take measures to try and prevent things from getting worse.

Blame it on global warming.

Yes, Global warming is a reality.  Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant.   Yes, the earth goes throgh natural warming and cooling phases, we are currently trasistioning into a "hothouse" from an "icehouse" which means we are in an inter-glacial period.\n\nHowever, Humans are doing their part to screw up the atmosphere.  CO2 is a gas that traps heat  and is emmitted by cars, factories, and anything else that burns fuel to work.  All anyone needs to do is look at a graph of the average surface temperture for the earth superimposed on the CO2 level and they will find they are identical in shape.  And the CO2 level has increased exponentially since the industrial evolution.  While the earth's natural cycles have varied the CO2 levels from 150 to 280 parts per million in the last 600,000 years, we are currently at 390 parts per million and rising fast.  No that is not natural, it is caused by humans.\n\nWhat can you do?  Buy a Prius.  Recycle.  Use less - ride you bike more.  Run your AC less, Turn off your lights.  All those hippie things that save energy - they actually work.

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.

Science explains Global warming. More storms, bigger storms, carbin dioxide levels, soon crops may burn up before they grow, rain forest desease may spread, Gulf stream may stop, In Our Lifetime.\nIs a good read, go see... Times ARE changing.

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 is really a fact that should be considered serious.\n\nQuestion:\n1. Don’t you feel the atmospheric temperatures around you are higher than the past?\nSupporting Fact:\nAt least there is slight increase in it. Factor: rise of few Celsius degrees in temp.\n\nQuestion:\n2. Is not the fact spoken about glaciers being melted down to water, thus increasing the sea levels drastically? \nSupporting Fact:\nIslands like Maldives are at risk!\n\nQuestion:\n3. The emission of so many vehicles, factories using fossil fuels is simply great evidence for this cause, yet there are many other factors to be mentioned. \nSupporting Facts:\nCarbon Dioxides, Carbon Monoxide are certain (green house gasses) harmful elements released to the open air. These gasses are not engaged in the purification act, supported by the greenery (Trees), due to reducing population. In result these harmful gasses break the ratios of 20% or so Oxygen content in the atmosphere, and may cause serious damages to human life.\n\nAll these consequences will lead to one place, that’s called the “Climate Change”. Then we’ll really remember the days we were merely talking about Global Warming!\n\nSuggestion: watch the theatrical block buster film, “The Day After Tomorrow” for some knowledge about the situation.\n\nWish You All the Best!\nGood Luck!\n\nand check the link below, i couldn't go through it at a stretch.

No i want some global warming now!

No, it a is fake calamity brought about by liberal Democrat tree-huggers who despise capitalism. \n\nSure the earth may be warming up but man's activity is not causing it. During the middle ages the earth was a lot warmer and that was before cars were even thought of.\n\nDo a couple of things - check out how long volcanoes have been on the planet, how much green houses gases are spewed into the atmosphere during just one eruption, and compare that to the total output of emissions from man's activity since the internal combustion engine was around.\n\nAlso, look at the facts about the correlation between the energy output of the sun and the global temperature and the correlation between global temperatures and greenhouse gas emmissions from man's activity. You'll find the correlation between the sun's temperature is more closely correlated.

It is too early to tell but with Global Warming the chances are getting better and better!\nBut it would be pretty weak.

Yes, it does worry me a lot.\nI try to do my share in order to give a better future not only to other people but to animals as well.\nAnd I think it is very insensitive and selfish to say that one is not worried, because we have seen and read the effects of global warming in our daily lives (floods, heat waves, cold waves, etc).\nWhat happened in New Orleans last year, was a sign of the climate change and people's actions towards the environment.\nIt won't be only our great-grandchildren to feel the consequences, we are feeling them right now. Open your eyes, the changes are out there!\nAnd together we can do something to save the planet, but as long as we have people that won't give up their cars, that will take baths instead of showers, that will light up all the lamps in their houses when they only need one, countries that don't honour the Kyoto Protocol etc. This planet, as well as humans, are condemned.

wa! this is the era/generation that the earth shrank to a easy phonecall, google earth can how anyplace on earth to a 20 foot resolution, travel (govt withstanding) is fast & easy. the effects of religious adhesion will cause global conflict, travel will spread disease like never before, governments will tighten grips on all they can. economies are based on variables rather than substance (gold, silver,..)  for the 1st time ever humans have obvious effect on the earth on a global scale. the last 50 years have been profound beond our species. the next 100 will be detrimental.

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!!

with the global warming increased\nmore green cars and powerstations will be inverted

"Are we destroying the earth with technology or is the earth doing business as usual"\nI suggest you track the changes scientists have found in the entire history of the earth, warming, freezing, wet and even effects of smoke from Krakatoa. Then compare what is happening now with pollution and the depletion of the ozone layer and ask the readers to make their own conclusion.
