THIS is such a great issue nowadays, but it I believe THIS still remains JUST a great issue - not much action about it, JUST lots of talk.
Climate change is by far one of the most controversial environmental issues there is, alongside nuclear technology and pollution. Many environmentalists are on for campaigns encouraging the world for substantial change in daily activities so as to help in alleviating the effects of climate change. People all over the globe have been told about this dilemma in one way or another, however there is reason to believe that the world is doing much less than what is needed, right?
What so you on this global issue?
Are you taking CLIMATE CHANGE seriously? Or are you guilty of not minding? What have you contributed so far if you have give any?
Please do share some great thoughts here, pals.

The climate changes. It won't stop. It can't be changed. This is the nature's response to the ever increasing population.
Instead of trying to do something to reverse the effect, I believe humans should learn to adapt to the change of climate. I am not saying we should pollute the world. But just we should not be arrogant enough to think we can do something to fight against the nature or naive enough to think that the Earth is so weak that require humans intervention.
It is always humans that need to be saved. Not the Earth.

Hi. vesuvius. I don't know too much about the climate change as far as The Global Warning is concerned. I do know that we have had some weird weather has been going on this month. In May, it is usually hot, but we have had a lot of rain and it has been cool for up to two weeks out of this month. This is something new and serious to me. I am just not going to panic because I understand and realize that the climate is not always promised to remain the same as always before.

Yes. I am taking the climate change seriously. The global warming is very real. We have had some really weird weather lately because of it.

Everytime there's a news about climate change I always think that I'm not doing well enough and always try to think green. We really have to take care of our environment or we'll be the ones who'll suffer the consequences.

I sure do take it seriously. We have a program in our office that is called Clean Green. I support it because I usually suffer whenever there's extreme changes in my environment and climate change. I have asthma. I think if the fast change in climate will not be moderated, I will not last long.
I pray that it will be improved by planting plants and trees.

Yes, I do. Every since I saw Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth', I was a climate change believer. It was kind of a trend on those days that climate change is the key to make people concerned about the environment and doing some preventive measure so that we don't end up as the sun's barbeque meat. However, it seems that it was just a hype. The weather and climate patterns seems to agree with Gore.
For those who are non-believers or detractors, climate change is a natural phenomena but I think the humanity's actions are multiplying the phenomena's effects on us. Most especially today when the climate changes every few days and summer and monsoon seasons are often delayed or advanced.
I have taken small steps of my own to combat climate change. I join tree planting projects in my time and try to dispose garbage properly. I also try to educate and guide my younger cousins and nephews about what is really happening in the world. More minds and more hands can give enormous help for an issue that is always taken in the backseat.

Yes i do take it seriously because i did notice how hot it gets, its like burning our skin right then and there and it is making me scared of what harm it will do to my children and i do teach them not to waste, not to waste water and even food and not to pick plants and such because we might never know how long these all will last.
