I give a rats ass about it, if something happens cause of that, or the north pole melting im already gone

But yes its a threat for the future, we need cars on electricity and use less sorts of chemical shit to damage the atmosphere.

And the polar icecaps are melting so think about this if all the salty seawater mixed with the melt fresh icewater what do you think will happen? Yes it will be a crisis.

Until it evaporates and rains.
And, most of our freshwater comes from groundwater and melting glaciers.

It wouldn't be great for people living in costal regions; but, like all major events, humanity will eventually adapt. Global Warming doesn't pose a risk to our planet. In itself, it has the capacity, with time, to iron out carbon in our air. Global Warming is a threat to mankind: if we die the Earth will continue to live on without us.

He speaks the truth....surprisingly

Environmental Problems: One Issue Often Overlooked

Unarguably, we live in a very environmentally aware world. With green ideas becoming ever accepted in mainstream culture, green-crusaders such as Al Gore and David Suzuki are succeeding in embedding the gift of environmental awareness in our minds. However, being the North Americans that we are, we fail to realise that the world does not only consist of citizens that have the luxury to make environmentally friendly decisions. In fact, large parts of the Earth’s population, people with whom we share our planet, are living in economically developing countries. These citizens of humanity are too occupied with catching up to the industrialized world to worry about making environmentally friendly decisions.

In our reality, there exists two very different ways to deal with these problems. The first, being the way in which we are currently attacking environmental issues, is quite simplistic: we emphasize short term solutions with immediate results that only affect our world. Logically, one would assume that it would be best for money to be spent fighting poverty, malnutrition, unsafe drinking water, smoking, air pollution, infectious diseases, water shortages, climate changes, and loss and degradation of biodiversity. These are the problems that affect people in developing countries, the people that account for most of the Earth’s population, and the people that have the potential to pollute on a scale that would make our contribution to environmental problems thus far seem very negligible. We, the industrialised nations, are responsible for 75% of the total pollution and waste that humanity has blessed upon future generations. Halting the investment of valuable funds into programs with trivial goals, such as the planting of trees, and diverting our full attention to the development of eco-friendly industries in the economically emerging world is the only way we can avoid the disaster of the developing world polluting on a scale comparable to ours.

David Suzuki had it right: ''We are in a big car heading at a brick wall at 100 miles an hour.'' In fact, going green is not only good for our health, but doing so in developing countries would create an influx of employment opportunities. It has been calculated that for every unit of renewable energy produced, five times the number of employment positions have been created. Environmental problems, if managed right, may prove to be economic solutions for countries left behind.

Global warming is only a theory.

prove it...

but yeas its a big issue for the hole world not just one country

its not global is human only living things need 2 worry about this the globe doesnt care it lived through tougher things it will re create a new atmosphere and just the pest we have became will be whipped out

Early start for you? Can't figure out what you tried to say ;S.

Global warming is only a theory.

global warming is a natural occurance in earths
cycles.

its a slow process.
that humans will either adapt 2 or not.

remember 98% of species on earth, have been killed off by volcanic activities and possibly a meteor.

the earth kept going without them... they were not missed and niether will we be.

look at mars... and its "possible" history... then ask yourself do all planets of the same properties of mars and earth go thru cycles of massive volcanic activity... and slow weather changes that may be extreme enough 2 change the face of the planet.

nature screwed us just by putting us on E-Arth.
meh idc, i'll b dead b4 that happens [unless i create a longevity vaccine]

well this isnt really a problem 2 the world wtf is up with ppl saying there going 2 save the world and its a global thing its not its a human race problem and some of the creatures that r alive right now this world doesnt need saving it has been through alot worse and where just a blink 2 them like when ppl b1tch about litter and gas ,all that bs about it hurting the world is bullshit they just want a clean environment for themselves. thsi world will live no matter what we humans do. might be choppy its 5am xP

ungrateful.....sometimes i swear humans are so selfish

global warming... hmmm... i dont think it is something to be worried about... the earth goes through warming and cooling phases over hundreds of years, we just happen to be in a warming phase right now. it will eventually turn around and start cooling, probably not while any of us are alive, but it will happen. the earth isnt going to die any time soon. well, i dont think so anyway.


it is a lot more likely that humans will destroy the earth with nukes, and kill ourselves off before we have to worry about dying from the ice caps melting.

how is this in any way selfish its opening ur eyes 2 c that where not the most important thing in this universe where going 2 die in the next 100yrs and we can thank ourselves for that
none the less iam happy about maybe the universe next superior life will
achive utopia

I'm talking about the way you all use Earth as a trash can
