Are we all aware of global warming?
Answer:
Hey, we're concerned... We're just not willing to do anything about it... Ask anyone on the street if they'd like to reduce global warming, and they will say "Yes"... Ask if they'd like a %500 percent jump for gas and electricity to make it happen, and they'll tell you where to go...
we need fusion. we cant stand any longer. ground zero was 20 years ago.
Global warming is going to turn this place into an ice box. The North Atlantic Drift will die soon and plunge Europe into a mini-iceage.
Hello.
We can stop it by using cold fusion.

I believe we can get very far just with the use of cold fusion. We cause our own problems. Everyone has their portion of contribution, so we all have to pitch in and do our part.
Take care and God bless.

hard to figure out your exact question so i am gonna load the lot on you
,sorry
WHO OR WHAT IS TO BLAME
Irrsponsible Agriculture ,
and expanding populations and its effects are the planets biggest enemies
this text only covers some aspects of Climate change ,i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification ,because of irresponsible farming using chemicals ,over pumping carbon aquifers,over grazing ,wild fires (because of slash and burn gone out of control)
water and air polution such as caused by
industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories,
and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions
there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms
the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions
in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result,
And now many animals are becoming sick because of changes in temperature ,
vital links in the food chains are disapearing affecting other species further along in the chain
we are witness to a mass exstinction ,for the first time since the dinosaurs, of the earth's estimated 10 million species, 300,000 have vanished in the past 50 years. each years, 3,000 to 30,000 species become extinct.
everything is happening so fast it is not possible to monitor things any more.
,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were few desserts.
collectively this planet is drying up ,
each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss
and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities.
Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.
This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.
The farmers that are left have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.
Over the last half century,
Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million
In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .
RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter
are We responsible ?
is it the Sun?
or is it God who wants to punish?
is it Gaia who wants to clean some parasitic infestation?
who cares ? that is not important any more
WHAT IS -is that we are gonna be in trouble
WHAT CAN WE DO
the best we can do as individuals is be more responsible ,in our own neck of the woods
organise well publicized clean up parties ,talk on the radio
have citizan meetings
get the shools involved to plant trees and listen to environmental awareness talks,
if you do any cleaning up leave signs behind saying who cleaned,why and ask people not to start dumping rubbish again ,leave a hole or bins ,in case people come with trash ,
we have done a lot of comunity cleaning and if you dont leave alternatives or try to work on peoples guilt feelings (some people actually have those ,but not many) than your efforts are a waste of time.that is what we do in Mexico
POSITIVE ACTIONS
print Tshirts with slogans ,hang posters all over the place (with recycled paper if possible)
classify trash take out all the organic waste and make compost with it ,the worst you can do is throw it with the trash
70% of contamination is due to organic waste that is mixed in with the garbage .
and it is just as bad in the sewer where it helps to breed rats and in the landfill it poisons the ground
and it is the easiest to take care of
o first of all we have to clasify trash at least keep the organic to one side ,like in a plasic bin with a lid
if you got a few meters of ground ,you only need 1 or 2 square meters in a shallow hole ,in the shade ,that you can wet now and again ,where you dump everything that is organic ,from toilet paper,bones vegetable cuttings ,eggshells,,dead bodies ,excrement ,and cover regularly with leaves to keep humid and to hide any smell
the worms will come and decompose the wastes truning it into beautifull black soil for the garden of flower pots .
if you are in a apartment ,if you have a balcony get a big plastic bin drill some holes in the side and lid ,
and add a few buckets of sand now and again to put over the trash ,you should realt stir or move the stuff at times to airate it and ensure that the decomposition is overall ,keep moist
this rubbish does not get big very fast and the thing works for a long time with out getting full
got a compost heap in the garden for 6 years ,have added tons of banana poles ,and palm leaves at times tree trunks ,the mountain goes up and down and never seems to get any bigger ,the stuff rots and becomes a very fine black compost of high density

global warming cannot be stopped but being friendlier to out Environment cannot be bad and maybe we buy some time

If you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to slowdown the destructive processes.
Reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.
The capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.
The world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia .
Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.
Limit water use
The protection of existing forrests.
Stop building more highways,
Urban planning to include vegetation
Stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there ,which now has become possible thanks to the internet.
Education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.
Education on environmental awareness.
Education on family planning ,to curb overpopulation.
Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals of sustainability and soil management.
More environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks .
More dams,regulations and control for public behaviour.
Alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine.
Recicling wastes.
Here are a 100 more ways

If you are worried about your children's children the don't vote for democrats who spend like John Edwards in a beauty shop (not that republicans are much better).
Yes. We are aware of it.
the majority of the population doesn't really care. This is an important issue which shouldn't be ignored. i think as long as their lifestyle is not being affected by the environment, people today don't care what is going to happen say 30 years from now. I am afraid that it would be too late by the time people take action. Even though environmental laws do exist, government should also start enacting more laws to show people how serious this matter is to all of us.
hell no
There are a lot of people who don't realize how serious this problem is. There's a lot of the younger generation that don't even believe there is a problem...now that is scary. There should be a mandatory class in schools to educate our students on how to reverse global warning. Young people live for the moment, there not thinking 20 or 30 years ahead. We caused this problem and it's up to us to turn it around.otherwise, we will all be buying tickets for the next livable planet and if we don't straighten out we will just pollute wherever we go
After reading a lot of answers by people on here I have come to realize how many people out there think that global warming is just a tactic for people like Gore to try and scare people and to try and make money for himself. They really don't believe that it exists and that we are not in any danger. What we need most is to convince these people is that it really exists. As far as what to do, that's a big question. We can do the little things, like using less gas, saving on electricity, certainly not using aersol cans, recycling. But a lot of the major changes have to come from changes enacted through our government, and that won't happen under the present government who doesn't see a problem. It is one of those things where it is hard that our children will pay for our mistakes. We can only hope that the house and the senate wake up and realize that their job is not only to work to get us out of a war, but it is also to save the world and our natural resources. Each year it becomes more and more obvious how global warming is effecting everyone, how our weather is changing and causing havoc all over the place. Storms like Katrina are only a part of it, it's happening everywhere you look.
Sure, we're aware. I've been aware of it fo 40 years, ever since I was in grade school - they taught us about the Ice Age. Apparently some have warmed up (no pun intended) to the idea that you can make money by scaring the pants of the non-thinkers. Thanks Al.
Here's the real problem: the herd mentality can't see the big picture. They search the internet and see An Inconvenient Truth and go berserk trying to get everyone to put a halt to global warming, and never once ask themselves, "Is there more to it than what's on the surface?" Why would some scientists be on this bandwagon and others not?
You have to examine how scientists make a living. A huge percentage of scientists are supported financially - either directly or indirectly - though research grants. Everybody has a boss. In this case it's either the grant benefactor directly or the organization who recieves the grant. If you want to keep getting research grants (equate this to "if you want to keep food on the table") you do not bite the hand that feeds you. So, hopefully you can see that there are a lot of scientists who are driven by someone else's agenda. Their conclusions will indicate exactly what the need to indicate to keep a job. If you lose your job as a scientist and get black-balled what do you do? Teach? Sell life insurance?
There is a scientific method that says you prove your theory by examining the evidence and applying principles of reason and logic. The disparity between scientists in the global warming debate is not in the empirical evidence as much as it is in the logic supporting the conclusion from all this evidence. There is a large percentage of scientists, who no longer have to rely on research grants, that say the conclusions that global warming is man-made is nonsense and that the evidence and and the logical application climate dynamics would indicate that the long term affects would be just the opposite of the popular claims. Speaking of popular; many of these scientists have been generally shunned for not following along like so many sheep.
If you really care about the truth more than being on the popular side of the debate, think for yourselves.
We need to stop those in the media insisting there is no problem. We need to get the truth out to people. We need to let the scientists have a voice. We need to face this problem NOW and start working at ways to adapt and prevent the situation from getting worse.

Global warming debunked
By ANDREW SWALLOW - The Timaru Herald | Saturday, 19 May 2007
Climate change will be considered a joke in five years time, meteorologist Augie Auer told the annual meeting of Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers in Ashburton this week.
Man's contribution to the greenhouse gases was so small we couldn't change the climate if we tried, he maintained.
"We're all going to survive this. It's all going to be a joke in five years," he said.
A combination of misinterpreted and misguided science, media hype, and political spin had created the current hysteria and it was time to put a stop to it.
"It is time to attack the myth of global warming," he said.

Evolution. They will develop lungs that will absorb what little oxygen is in the air and the ones that cannot adapt will die.
I think we arent all aware of it. Political groups and companys that need to pollute to make money (oil companys) pay money so that way citizens think 'global warming' is a hoax. Thats the only reason i can think of. It saddens me, i cant see why people wouldnt want to take care of the earth whether it was cooling or warming or just staying the same. why would they want to put all theses emissions in the air and develop the land to crap.
