have you ever heard of global warming, becuase there is to many pollutants carbon monoxide in the atmosphere the heat cannot escape our atmosphere thus leaving us with a much warmer climate. plus the fact that the hole on our ozone layer is increasing year after year due to chloro floro carbon. the snow deposit on earths pole is now being melted it will increase the sea level and many will be affected by the flood. but do you care? do anyone still care for the future of our planet? are any of you aware of this problem?

Yes I am deeply aware of this problem and it bothers me a lot that I always tell my family and friends about it. It is a global issue and I believe each one of us should really care about it because it might be too late for all of us to take action. Once, my mom told me she's not really bothered about global warming because as technology arises, people will always find ways to solve that. But the truth is, nature is still greater than any man-made thing and PREVENTION is still better than cure. Just like what I've posted in another discussion, I believe that no matter how others are deeply troubled by global warming, there will still be others who would turn a deaf ear towards it simply because they become used to it and it is part of their daily living. Like for instance, in some provinces, illegal logging is not an issue because it is their means of livelihood. In coastal areas, people wouldn't mind of dynamite fishing because for them, it is the easiest way to get fishes from the ocean. Thus, I believe that there should be a strict policy implementation in each country and even in small communities like cities and towns so as to guard people from their actions that have an effect in our environment. Another way to solve it is to have consensus among nations on how to better solve the global warming with the use of technology. The use of eco-friendly inventions like solar array should be widespread and should be implemented as soon as possible. There should also be widespread dissemination of information to people about the cause and effects of global warming and the possible ways to solve that. God gave us the Earth for us to be tenants in it. Earth is not our home, we are just mere tenants in it. Our responsible then is to take care of our environment because God told us to do so. He gave us these wonderful things on earth not to abuse, but to enjoy it. Thus, if we continue our wrong ways, it not only becomes a threat to our health but also the eternal consequences are great.

Yes am aware of this problem way back in school that the ozone layer has already got a hole and its increasing year after year. Hope somebody here gives us some nice solutions to try to avoid using harmful pollutants that we may be using in our day to day life ignorantly.

yes ive heard of global warming. at one time scientists thought it was just the earth, and then they thought it went back pointed to us as the reason for the planet warming up, but i think it is really just the planets way of cleansing itself every so often, whenever it did this last, like same with the ice age.

i have been hearing this from my school days. we and our modern luxury life are responsible for this. The hole in the ozone layer is getting bigger and bigger day by day. As a result the giant ice cubes are melting which is increasing the sea level causing danger to people around coastal areas. we cant close the hole but we can prevent it from getting bigger. solutions to this problem are growing lot of trees , eco friendly technology products, limiting the usage of car in a family etc...
