My hometown is nearer to the equator and its near the sea too.Even then i can feel a real change in tempreatures each year.It goes up during summers each year and it is becoming colder and colder during winters.
And you being in netherlands really needto beworried about global warming because it would be one of the first countries to be submerged if thesea level rises

yes i worry very much about globat warming...
in my country it used to be a cold winter and this year we had very little snow and temparatures from 8 up... i think in the future it will be very bad... i am really scared...
i don;t want to seem that i am selfish but i hope it won;t happen anythink until i die...

As I understand it, the ice caps in arctic and antarctic would melt. Agreed that ice is the expanded form of water. Nevertheless, water level in sea will rise. It has to be accommodate in the seas. So lands adjacent to seas will be submerged. This will reduce the lands available to live or grow crops, apart from creating legal tangles. In the process the food prices will shoot up, as will prices of land. The excess water of sea will start evaporating and because of ozone layer depletion, there will be no cool air to condense them in right places. So mountaneous regions will receive more rainfall than usual, while plains will be dry or flooded, leading to further draught or flood situations. Food will again become costlier. The excessive water will bring its own types of diseases such as cholera. Elsewhere, the life in sea will start diminishing as the required temperatures in sea water will no longer be there. Fish populations will come down. And if u think this is far, think again. We are about 20 years away from this situation. Recent studies have shown that it is much more rapid than initially thought.

we destroyed the world with the industrialisation in 50 years old.

Yes, it is dangerous! Moment by moment of human's doom happens in the corners of the world.

Here are a few things to think about with global warming, global climate change, whatever you want to call it. These facts were presented at a conference for emergency management professionals three years ago. They were stated in a presentation given by a National Weather Service meteorologist.
The model used to predict global warming is the same model used for everyday forecasts. I found this statement very interesting, especially since our weatherman rarely get the weather forecast right. They say things like "50% chance of rain". Well, with that forecast you could argue you were right whether it rained or not.
Four things affect global warming. He listed carbon dioxide, water vapor, atmosphere, and solar changes. He stated that water vapor has the greatest impact on our weather, however, it is the one thing that they cannot predict or accurately track so they do not use it in their models. Interesting the thing which affects the weather most and our "experts" do not even consider it.
Again, these were statements made by a National Weather Service meteorologist. After the speech, I was able to speak with him. I asked him if he had heard of two other theories for our current climate change. These are:
Changes in the solar cycles. European researchers have studied solar cycles. Their theory is that the sun undergoes cycles just like the earth. When the sun puts out more solar energy then the Earth gets warmer. When the sun puts out less solar energy then the Earth gets cooler.
Changes in the magnetic fields of Earth. This theory was featured in a Missouri Agriculture magazine. We all know that the Earth rotates around the sun. It rotates on its X axis, correct? What if the Earth also rotated on its Y axis?
This theory believes that to keep the Earth in its orbit that it rotates on both the X and Y axis. The Y axis rotates much slower than the X axis. As this rotation happens (over a multitude of centuries) the North and South poles (magnetic fields not physical land) actually switch places. As the magnetic poles travel between North and South poles (physical land) then the weather changes. This would explain why the Aurora Borealis can be seen as far south as California now.
Why are these theories not more well known or publisized? They make logical sense. The last two theories are being privately funded. They are not funded through any government money. Because of this, they are being ostresized. They were even banned from presenting or even attending a Global Climate Change conference.
