I was watching the discovry channel the other day, and Global Warming(climate change) is going to be number one cause of earths distruction. Apperantly Ireland is melting, and quick, and our water levels are rising, and the tempruters are changing rapidly. So Steven Hawkins expects our world to succum to global warming in the next 50-100 years. Thats our life time and our kids lifetime. I recycle, and conserve water and energy, what do you do? What else can I do? Is there an expert in the house?

call me young and naive but im really not that worried. i think people are making a larger deal out of it then they need to and im sure im going to be attacked for these comments. but i see it as the cycle of life. it has been this way before hundreds of years ago and it will be like this again in hundreds more. the climate is going to be changing forever.. we wernt alive when it happened previously so no one can say this is any worse. well thats what i think anyway. if im wrong there isnt that much we can do about it anyway if everyones already condeming us to the end of the world.

its not that, of course its the circle of life. But we created this problem. The temps always change and they will continue to change. but they are changing at a rapid speed, and its hurting the ozone layer which protects us from the suns harmful rays. And thats the problem, people are saying its not a big deal,a dn we're making it out to be too much, but it is. Just look at your own envoirnment, observe it, see if anything is different from last year. then you'll understand.

also i forgot to add, I do think this is just the cycle of life. Every year the weather will be different. Some winters will be colder then the year before or a bit warmer, as the same with summer. It's not something we can do. I think it's just the way the weather works. And an ice age or anything like that, I don't think is going to happen for a long time. I was watching discovery channel, and it said we probably have another 5 billion years.

I'm not an organic, green peace kind of person. But I like to do my part. Yeah i know we wont have a ince age or anything. But still you have to admit things are changing faster than they are supposed to be. We are tampering with the earths climate. Before us, the dinos didn't have technology, they were taken out with the course of time. And we as humans are speeding up that copurse of time.

It's a horrible thing. I try not to use as much electricity, but unfortantly my rooms in a basement and I have to have a light on. But I do use just a small lamp. I also try to have baths more and not fill the tub up a lot since i use to use more water in the shower. I also recycle my stuff, and I never litter anything when I'm out. We don't have an expert. All though my brother use to be very organic, green type person. So I learned a lot about what I can do to help.
