Global Warming, It's a serious problem Options

[femmefatale4160]

I searched to see if there was a topic on this but I didn't find much...if I'm wrong, just close this.

Anyway, Global Warming--serious problem. I didn't realize just how bad it was until I saw this public service announcement for it a few minutes ago.

2005 was the hottest year in recorded history.

Every day, we release 75 million TONS of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere.

In 2000, it rained in Antarctica.

In just one decade, there will be no glaciers in Glacier National Park.

Polar bears are drowning.

There is more Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere now than in the last 650,000 years.

In 2004, the South Pacific received their first hurricane in recorded history.


This is crazy. There must be something we can do, right?

Well, IMO, if there is something we can do to stop it then it needs to become public worldwide.
And if it is so bad then we should not have to pay to go to the damn theater and see the consequences.
We need more public announcements, more grusome public announcements to scare us into doing something.
Bush needs to say something.
I was scared at first but it's so easy to forget about it, the first start is to put it out there.

The thing is, Global Warming is a natural proccess, we just happen to be here to experience it and we're probably just making it come sooner. We are JUST coming out of the Ice Age. The Ice Age will come again too, and then global warming, and then the Ice Age, and then global warming. What it does to us might just be inevitable.

Umm. Do you actually know when the last ice age was? A REALLY LONG TIME AGO. We are not just coming out of the last Ice Age.. And at this rate, Global Warming will devistate the Earth! Last year's temperatures were record breaking! This probably the warmest the Earth's ever been for billions of years!
Global Warming is mostly because of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. It's been proven that the more CO2 there is in the atmosphere, the worse Global Warming gets. Global Warming at this intensity should NOT be inevitable. The amount of CO2 has been rising since the first humans set foot on Earth. Which means, what? GLOBAL WARMING IS BECAUSE OF HUMANS. It won't be inevitable if we stop using so much gas and electricity..

So when the Ice Ages happen the CO2 goes down? Did you know that they are predicting another Ice Age to come sooner? Oh yea, but I thought you said CO2 is increasing because of humans and that is what's causing the Earth to get hotter. And it SURE was increasing and making the Earth hotter when the Ice Ages came DIDN'T IT? I hope you don't think the Earth will continue to get hotter until it will burn out.

Actually I am very aware it was a long time ago, and there does not have to be Ice everywhere for the earth to just come out of the Ice Age. But why are we not coming out of it? Because it happened a long time ago? And it was "over along time ago" which is why the ice that came from the Ice Age in certain places is starting to melt now which IS causing the polar bears to drown and the glaciers are just now starting to melt? "Do you actually know" where those glaciers come from? We are coming out of it sweetie, I didn't say it just happened, I said we are coming out of it and we are. The things that were left from that Age are starting to go. Not convinced... "along time ago" cannot justify that, sweetie, it's not gonna cut it

Global Warming will not devestate the Earth, it has happened before in these billions of years you're talking about, it will probably devestate the humans and animals though. If anything we are just making the effects come sooner than they should. Ok thank you.
