Why are people worried about global warming?
Answer:
"never want it happen"? Let me break the ice... it is already happening. Reread everything byderule said and then add the following right before his part on the government...
Watch the news!! Remember those zillions of hurricanes last year? What about all the tornadoes a few months ago (before tornado season)? How about the major flooding in Texas? Or the insane wildfires that literally distroy the whole Northwest and California? What about in January 2007 when Flordia was having blizzards, and Seattle was playing beach vollyball? Does any of this ring a bell? It is all due to global warming.
I can go on forever and ever about everything that has been destroyed or caused by global warming within the last 2-3 years.
But what's the point? Will my ranting really change anybody's opinion on global warming? No. Will the mis-informed embrace any facts I give them? No. It's a useless voyage.
"This is not a political issue. It is a moral issue".
forewarned is forearmed
the main reason in my opinion is that out of doors simply becomes much less interesting, or, interested in people. life spans and the aging process just happen quicker. a democratic government can only be worth as much as its people, so, in the priority of issues, attacking and moderating this problem, such as the whole country in drought, seems impossible right now.
They are scared of death.
Global Warming is an increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Global Warming might not happen now but it could be around the corner because of pollution around the world. Even if it doesn't occur soon future generations of human and animal life will have to live with this problem. It can be stopped however with environment protection agencies and people around the world. Take a stand and get involved before it's too late.
Well: it's because people doesn't know about the world
in which they must help in Saving our Earth's Environment

I am not worried because there has been more severe warming (although from natural causes) more than once in Earth's past. It was not a problem for life then and it won't be now. The fact that the cause this time is artificial is of no importance. All that counts is that it is warming. It has warmed before and will again, even if there were no people on Earth. Anyway, it will stop all by itself when we run out of coal and oil to burn.
since when is it the job of the government to take on a job that constitution does not give them. Why then are we allowing them to use scare tactics and brainwashing to get us to do what the government wants. So where is the proof that humans are the cause of global warming. it is a fact that the eruptions of volcanoes and other natural disasters along with cattle that have increased our green house gases.God help this country if all we can do is parrot what we are forced fed from the time we are born till we die. Long live free thought and speech on this independence day.
because they think it chipping the ice away from the south and north pole but i know people doing science there are doing greater harm than us. they are playing god. because the earths temps seem like the same every year.
think about it is true
150,000 people are dying anually due to global warming ,In 2003 in Europe alone 3500 people died
we have enormous croplosses on produce
(1 degree rise in temperature means 10% croploss)
we loose arable lands to coastal floodings
ยท3000 species of animal and countles plants have gone into exstinction in the last 50 years
there is a cronic potable water shortage in places like Africa,Mexico ,India and China and people are forced to drink contaminated water knowing full welkl they will get sick or even die ,because it is better than dying of thirst imediatly.
they have no money to buy bottled water that comes from far away .
Governments concerns??
Politicians do not like to loose power
to admit to disasters means having to do something about it .
This means changes in industry and social behaviour which cost a lot of money for those who own everything .
And changes or interuptions in businesses that are making a lot of money as is ,such as agro chemicals
To come to the conclusion that in reality the Government is impotent ,will also undermine the trust and confidence (should it exist )and people will rebell or at least riot
For example in case of coastal floodings there is no solution for mass displacements of people .
There is no water or food for millions on the march .
And march to where ??
every where else already are people
It would end up in residents having shoot outs with migrants for their own survival
When the people realise that they are doomed ,
Governments loose control
That is one of the reasons religions are becoming so popular
prepare the masses for death to accept it calmly is the best solution.
Apart from that, these events where not clearly predicted in the scriptures
To prove God wrong is unacceptable to many ,after all he is in charge and is supposed to know what he is doing ,and again to loose believers means loss of controlled people .
So to stick to the belief means to have to deny the truth .there is no alternative for some .
How ever what is far more sinister are the actions that will accelerate Global Warming ,

Now why would that be ???
The people who control this world are Evil but they are not stupid.
They know far more than is revealed in the Media ,
Do they know something we do not ?
and by now regard this planet as disposable ?
Or do they want to speed up disasters to force the global comunity into accepting globalization,
1. Because of over hype by the Chicken Little crowd. That and those seeking to cash in on the fear that the hype produces.
2. There is nothing (Short of exterminating 9/10ths of the worlds population) that the government can do to prevent or forestall Global Warming.
3. There is no creditable evidence that Global Warming will do more harm than good.
4. In any event, Global Warming is marching forward slowly (as it has for centuries) and we can adapt to any changes as they occur.
I don't know why. I, for one, am not. Whether mankind was here or not, the climate would change, in the same manner.
The Earth has warmed and cooled throughout history.
I'm concerned about those who wish to eliminate us. This is a fact, and something that we can attempt to stop.
Are you kidding me... what do you mean "by then," in 50 years it would have horrible results. All these Hurricanes happening at a much more intense scale and sea level already rising, as well as these heat waves that are increasing--I cant believe you said "by then". And societies will not destroy eachother, what do you mean by this---it is moving forward, at least I think and hope, but neither one of us are fortune tellers to say whether society will destroy its self or not.
Worry about global warming for when your old and future generations. They will just ask, "What the hell were are grandparents thinking?" The govt. is run by the people and you are part of the people so why dont YOU do something about it, instead of waiting for someone to whipe your behind. And ask the govt. that----ask George Bush that? Atleast your asking though---its one small step closer to the solution if you ask---I mean the economy definetly wont suffer if the govt. does something. God only knows, but most likely no one is doing anything because its just one of those dumb society things, where something really really bad has to happen before there is a change. Actually thats how people in general are. People wont change unless they hit rock bottom---it is so sad that its like that.
I tottaly dont mean to be rude or anything but I cant believe the ignorance of this statement. I dont mean to offend, Im sure other people have the same feeling, but its hard to believe.
Because they don't want to believe that they are insignificant compared to this world.
I would ask why you think the government should do something about it if you think something should be done, yet don't want to do anything about it yourself?
Do something for the environment: live your life by trying to only take what you need, decreasing any negative impact on the planet we share...if you do your part, and everybody does their part, you won't have to rely on the government to solve your problems - you may have avoided creating them in the first place.
got kids?
gonna have kids?
be sure, in 30 years, to tell 'em that, yeah, you knew about global warming, but it was gonna happen anyway, so you didn't bother worrying about it. I'm sure they'll appreciate your candor.
Why worry? First of all, scientists don't know how much warming is too much warming. They don't know where simple global warming ends and runaway greenhouse effect begins. With this in mind, why would humanity want to commit global suicide if we understood the problem and ignored the solution. Remember that we would not be destroying only society, we would be destroying other ecosystems on the planet and who gave us the right to destroy the planet for future generations.
It is not going to happen in the future, you need to realize it has already happened. The extreme weather events being experienced around the world are evidence of that. The question now is can we slow or stop the process and mitigate the effects. Governments are slow to act because their entire economies are fossil fuel based.
how will you know that the people will destroyed out societies,,,,,,,? IF so you don't worry about it,,,,
It is a little known fact that, when the industrial revolution happened, people around the world, began noticing climactic changes. These changes have only increased with the increase of pollutants going into the air. The Mayan, Chinese, and many other ancient civilizations all have their calendars ending on X-Mas 2012. Although the weather service people said that we have until 2020 when the polar ice caps completely melt, their most recent calculations point towards the end of 2012. Coincidence? The government as well as the general population of bureaucrats and businessman don't worry about anyone body or thing other than padding their own pockets and having the newest BMW in their driveway.
