global warming issues...

I share the same concerns as you do. . I am worried for our future generation. . I believe that the destruction to Mother Earth will be felt by the next generation, not in our lifetime. . but we have to be responsible for whatever happens to the future of our Earth. Man's activities of illegal logging, overfishing, pollution, irresponsible garbage disposal, and so many abuse to the environment will soon or have already got back on us through freak weather conditions. I learned that the ice glaciers in antartica and in north pole are slowly melting, threatening the survival of polar bears and other animals. How many more tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes do we have to suffer as a result of man's irresponsible activities causing destruction to our already depleting natural resources? I am not so confident that we can totally reverse the situtation since what we see is widespread apathy/indifference over the crisis. We can only do much in our little ways like tree planting and waste segregation and campaign for a cleaner, greener environment. I hope that the more that we discuss this issue, the more people will be concerned and START to do something concrete in their own little ways.

I think it is a very serious issue and far too many people are not at all concerned about it. We have to find other ways to create clean fuel. People still burn trash and think that it is an "OK" thing to do. I think that now we have made such an effect on the delicate balance that who knows if we can ever correct it. But we need to start like yesterday. Al Gore made a movie (oh I cant think of the name now) We are killing our planet and something has got to give. The USA is doing most of the damage and it needs to stop. We need to do something now so my Great grand kids will be able to live a good life. It really doesn't seem to be a concern of Mr Bush.

First off, welcome to myLot - I hope you have fun here, I do! Global Warming is a matter of 1 degree C here or there! The chages we think we are seeing are no more than the normal cycles of the weather. when they say 'it is the warmest since 1850' say to yourself 'what did they do in the world then to stop global warming for 157 years?' Please get this whole thing in perspective!! OK, there is more solar activity at the moment, the sun goes through cycles like that - there is nothing we can do about it. Sh*t happens! Nature will adapt as it has done for millions of years. Relax!

Global warming is a huge issue today. There is a debate as to whether global warmning is manmade or not. Feel free to check out the link in my profile and sign up for the site there. You can discuss anything regarding global warming and the likes on that site. I'm horselover on that site and I've been there since October last year, and the forum is quite active with much discussion on environmental issues. Please put my name in the referal box if you join, that way I know you've come from here. Join us for informative discussions on the environment.

I'm originally from Australia where green and recycling etc is important, but I do notice the US is trying to be greener by using less coal for electricity generation....for instance, in Palo Alto where Im living, 30% of the pwer comes from windmills. I saw them myself when we were driving in the country when moving house. There are also the hybrid cars and the govt is going to give tax refunds for ppl who purchase them this year (I think about $3000 rebatable tax) I hope maybe one day we can use sugar cane derived fuel too like they do in S Amer. One day lol. Oh and one day soon his century coal will run out
