So more people are paying attention to global warming. Gore won an Academy Award; people are buying Prius’s. All good. Most people in the world could care less.

What earth affecting event needs to occur before everyone on this planet will give up their civil wars and petty squabbles and join together to solve this problem? And when it does, will it be too late to do anything about it?

Is global warming a serious problem? Would you be willing to make personal sacrifices to address the issue? California has taken the lead in addressing the problem of global warming. Should Texas follow suit?

And the fact that global warming is based almost entirely on extremely flawed computer models that have been consistently wrong since they’ve been used.

How can you people buy this garbage?

Oh and the polar bears are increasing in numbers, and they survived when temperatures were much warmer than they have ever been in the last century.

I don’t believe in global warming myself, but I was just wondering what steps countries are taking to actually do something about what they believe with this issue. Are there actually any plans on how they’ll ’stop’ global warming? Also, could someone tell me a bit about the Kyoto thing?

We all know about global warming, and how it is causing the ice to melt, the earth getting polluted, and all the other things happening to the earth, like rising temperatures and such, but when is it really going to come into effect? When will we experience everything? In 5 or 10 years? In 100 years? In 1000 years? in 10 000 years?
Is there a definite answer? Or will the earth just suddenly ‘die out’ one day?

I know what global warming is. What I don’t get is why the Earth is turning colder now that the icebergs are melting. Someone please help me!!
Thank you all who answered. Unfortunately, I’m still confused. What I’ve noticed is that the weather is starting to become colder, for example: Ontario, Canada had received a snow storm with the most snow out of past 60 years. I don’t understand how melting icebergs in the north could have affected that. Please leave a reference of your source of information. Thank you once more to all!

I just wanted to know the various methods for global warming. I recently heard that there is a chemical which depletes atmospheric carbon content. Is this really true and what are other methods that we can follow to prevent Global warming?

It seems like there are more and more every year. Does this have anything to do with global warming? I live in an area of California that’s hilly and hear forests…I’m kind of getting scared now.

The drier a climate is, the more easily fires spread. The drier a climate is, the more likely lightning is to strike and cause a fire.

While the scientific community has a very high confidence that global warming is real and caused by human activities, the lay press has apparently identified no one group that has actually done the most to reduce greenhouse gases. If such a group exists, who are they? What specific steps have they taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Approximately how many tons of carbon dioxide (or equivalent greenhouse gases) emissions have they prevented, captured, or “sequestered?” And what objective sources can you cite to support your conclusions?

A related question is, what are the major barriers–social, political, economic, technological–holding back countries, non-governmental organizations, and other groups (and individuals) from achieving large-scale reductions and mitigations of greenhouse gases and related global warming effects?

I think that people don’t have to worry about global warming! Everyone keeps on saying that “The sea level will rise even more if the North + South pole melt just because of extreme heat off global warming” Even if they do melt by how much do you think land would disappear, maybe by about 5 meters! That’s nothing!

Yet I see so many people making such a big fuss about it on TV on the internet.
