    I am undecided because there is no conclusive evidence on the impact of global warning that has been presented to me in a nice and decisive way, just people arguing. That is all. :)

    It is a problem for sure. We are already seeing a climate change in most part of the world. Even if the problems are not a lot rite now in future u never know what could happen so things should be controlled from now itself

    Global Warming imo will go away just as fast a it came. Soon the fossil fuels will be exhausted and there will be nothing left to burn. Temperatures will then nosedive. People will shift to renewable sources on a large scale, solar energy looks very promising. If it's implemented on a large scale the temperatures will fall as the cells will absorb/reflect most of the sun rays in the array.

    Sure we may have lost some land to the sea by then or suffer from extreme climates but global warming should not lead to the end of the world or even leave permanent damage for that matter.

    According to a recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the Earth's average surface temperature has increased 1.3 degrees F over the past 100 years. Most scientists agree that this increase is caused by human activity - primarily the burning of fossil fuels. What may seem like a small temperature change has devastating consequences - rising sea levels, loss of Arctic habitat, extinctions, increasingly intense hurricanes, and drought and famine.

    Fortunately, we can make a difference. By taking individual action at home and promoting sound energy policy and legislation in our communities, states and nation, we can help protect our global habitat — for birds, wildlife and our own future.

    Yes, to an extent.But, what it will do is nothing serious.There will be some rise in the sea level and temperature changes.That is it. We can still avoid that from happening.Not that difficult at all. It is more of a political issue today than an environmental one.

    Its a very great problem, the temperature of earth getting increased and it melts more ice in Arctic and Antartic region and thus making sea level risen up and thus there are chances of some coastal region and lands gets into sea and also abnormal climate changes.
    alot more changes, daily in world news you can see atleast one disaster or abnormal global activity due to global warming
    *****
    Pls plant more trees to reduce global warming.

    Its a bogus fear.

    Besides, the climate has warmed and cooled over centuries anyway.

    Did you follow the news about this Climategate thing that just started to bust open after these climate guys' emails got hacked, exposing an apparent scheme?

    Will be interesting to see how that one pans out. One guy has already stepped down while it is being investigated.

    Well obviously, I recently read a prediction that it can alter our lives and coastal cities

    Global warming would be a problem if it existed.

    I don't buy the whole human caused climate change propaganda pushed forward by die hard lefties, greenies, commies, and those who stand to financially benefit from it. The Earth has warmed and cooled itself numerous times, and will continue to do so regardless of what the humans do.
