Global Warming - it's official now!

Well, the report wasn't releases yet. Its summary was. More on that here: http://www.floppingaces.net/2007/02/04/so-this-report-came-out/ And there are plenty who disagree, here are some reasons why: http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/global-warming020507.htm http://www.epw.senate.gov/fact.cfm?party=rep&id=266711 And I take offense to "arrogant dismissals" on a site where my factual evidence isn't even looked at. Btw, how is your post NOT rhetoric?

I really hope this will have impact on the world, it is time! The global warming is already too late to stop before serious damage is made but I believe we can still save the planetfrom total destruction, but that demands action NOW!

"Consensus" isn't a science word. You can't vote on facts. You can't take a poll to prove anything. There was once a consensus omong certain people that Blacks were inferior to whites. In this very community there is a consensus that God exists and is the Creator. There is also a consensus that He doesn't and is just a story told to keep people from fearing the unknown. None of this stuff is proven. Only agreed upon by some, disgreed upon by others. But yes, we do belch plenty of filth into the atmosphere. The moon is also moving further away from Earth. And we're still coming out of an ice-age. Force

I think only the USA himself can answer your question. I can't predict for my self what the US would do on such matter. That news is very alarming. Just imagine some small islands vanishing from the world map. Very horrible. I also believe that it's not the US alone who should make a move and we must not rely and look forward for what US would be doing. I think we must do our part as well and take responsibility in taking steps that would somehow prove to be essential in the preservation of life and environment.

Do and don'ts - Man is a creature of habit. We have to learn new habits for our survival skills. A person - himself should adapt new habits. Do -walking instead of riding a car. Do- use your basket in Shopping - plastic shopping bags - should be minimize if not abolish. Plastic is not biodegradable. Do not - burn our waste - smoke create CO2. Carbon Dioxie emission should be avoided all the time. Methane from farms - industry - waste management is necessary. Be- prepared for flush flood - Some area will be flooded and the water will not go down. Know where to go when your place is flooded? where? Early Warning Device -?? Disaster may come in your sleep. Watch and wait. Say NO to fossils fuel. Your City Government can choose - use Bio-Diesel. Built Community - a group concern to think ways to reduce CO2 emmission in your area. Seek people and be united who have the same cause to SAVE the World from Global Warming.

The US is only one country, and compared to the rest of the world, the pollution we create is almost nothing. We americans could pull together and make it so we release no toxic emmissions. The world's atmosphere wouldn't change much. Unless someone goes to africa, asia, and south america and brings them up to technological speed; bring them out of the third world into the first, the descent into global warming is inevitable. Personally, I think global warming is a hoax. Man's only been studying this for a century. And since they've been studying it, the average atmospheric temperature has risen by a fraction of a degree (info is on foxnews.com somewhere, i think). And that's in 100 years, with the industrial revolution and all that jazz.

no, global warming is definaely there and i can see the change this year because there has been no fog this year the temperatures were quite normal in winters here though it is the reverse of what really happends, so it is quite a shock to see such a climatic change, i m just worried about what is going to happen in the summers, will we melt or some thing, some thing really needs to be devised here and i think its a tough time ahead .

Well if it is US which doesn't do anything for global warming then it is the case with almost all the countries. But there are always ways by which we can reduce this global warming effect. USA is well known for blaming others for what it had done. So there wont be any surprises in this case too. It had to increase measures in passing the licences for all those equipment which are contributing to the global warming. Those equips which emit global warming gases like N2O, CO2, etc should be absorbed by other equips which can convert those gases to by products which are eco friendly. Even the equis themselves could be modified and more and more reforestation could help reduce Co2 to some extent. Take measures in balanced form all over the terrain.

What I found truly ironic about this annual gathering is their carbon footprint. This tear these mega-millionaires made contributions to eradicate only 60% of the damage that was caused from them jetting in and having this meeting, and this was an improvement on the previous years contributions. If these people can't even be bothered to cover their carbon cost fully, what hope is there that they will really do anything about the issue?

That's an old fact that's been said over and over again. I don't know why people keep talking and not doing anything about this. You're right on one point, though. The First WOrld countries are the main culprits of global warming. They've got more money to burn.

global warming is common problem in this world because there is so much pollution that thre ozone layer have been damaged and its hole have been widened too much this makes glaciers melt and global warming have incresed to 4 degree centigrade thats very horrible and we should take important steps to recover this problem as fast as we can by stoping pollutin from cars factories and other smoke producing things

Its been quite a while now that few developed countries that were not concerned muchabout global warming have started taking this matter seriously. And about the US instead of findind a way they just point their finger somewhere else without even looking on the facts n figures.It going to be a global loss not a loss of a country if the global temperature keeps on increasing as a resultant ice keeps on melting.THen I cant say who would be there to blame.

I don't think US will respond but we can definitely help in our own little ways. Like not burning garbage. I also try to conserve energy now. More than ever.

global warming is also called gree house effect.increase in temperature of earths surface due to emmision of infra red rays by certain green house gases is called global warming.the gases such as cfc's,co2,nitrogen,hydrogen peroxideabsorb radiations from sun and reflect infra red rays over earths surface. due to this global warming occurs

pollution is ever increasing what ever we do we cant make it come to the normal condition those good old days.

God is in control of everything. No amount of prevention could stop the end of the world if the judgment day already comes as God wishes. Global warming may come; as of now there are many complaints on destruction caused by ice. In the Philippines, farmers complain because they could not produce as expected because of the cool weather right now and some months back. Perhaps, people should include studying the Holy Bible also to know some more.

Just because a bunch of scientists get together and come up with a consensus doesn't make it a fact. Scientists work with theories and do everything they can to prove those theories until they finally have to admit that they were wrong. As many have stated on this thread, you and the scientists are not even considering the last ice age, or the fact that we are still recovering from it. In case you haven't noticed, it gets kinda cold in an ice age, and to recover from that cold period it would then stand to reason that there would be a warming trend. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that we are not completely out of the last ice age yet, and that the earth is still warming. Since we (meaning mankind) have not been monitoring temperature changes for very long, there is no way anyone can determine or predict any amount of change or when it will happen. Any attempt to do so is at this point not only irresponsible but also laughable. Furthermore, we have only entered the industrial age only a short time ago by in comparison to the age of the earth, and the earth is fully capable of replenishing itself. Sure, we need to do all we can about pollution, but the idea that man has any real impact on global warming at all is nothing more than wishful l thinking on the part of environmental freaks who really should know better. What is this obsession that some people have with the US being the root of all evil? Does anyone remember the big cleanup push from the '70's? Does the word SUPERFUND ring a bell anywhere? Most of our coal fired plants have scrubbers installed and now burn hard coal instead of the softer sootier variety. There are so many areas where we have made improvements while other countries sit back and whine about what we are not doing. Everyone keeps spouting off about Kyoto, but how many realize that it would have meant higher taxes for us while the so called third worlders would get a free pass because they are "under-developed"? What do I think should happen? I think people need to think for themselves for a change and stop paying so much attention to the "telly". Just because a scientist has some education does not make them God, nor does it make them right. It's even worse when they gather in groups. You talk of arrogant dismissals, however I get the feeling from your post that your mind is already made up, you got a big drink of the koolaid, and are firmly ensconced in the ranks like the rest of the good little sheeple. Pardon me while I like another, who knows; that just might be the spark needed to trigger the coming apocolypse

The Earth is very old, billion of years? Some blame it to old age. The earth looses its power to renew. It looses its power to clean up the earth cause by human being. What to do? It should begin on a personal level. The on the community and then to your city. Habit of waste and unconcern for dirty environment has already as way of life. We need change - garbage disposal. CO2 Emmission- from your car. Electricity - completely dependent on Fossil Fuels. - Cut down if not totally - abstain from FF. The air is already polluted, the Water is not safe to drink. It is getting more expensive to survive today. WE have to make an intelligent Choice - to reduce CO2 in our environment. Volunteers to clean us the mess. How to clean the air - plant more trees. plant more agriculture products. Shot down - factories - giving heavy smokes. We can have a clean environment, a cool surrounding if everybody will go toward that goal. Education, information to the public. Start a campaign.

While I believe, and accept responsibility, that pollution is prevailent and we don't take as good of care of the enviroment as we should, something was brought to my attention the other day. The earth's climate goes through cycles, like the Ice Age. My question is this. . . when the Ice Age began to thaw, who was responsible for that? We were not around yet to pollute and cause global warming, so isn't possible, that even though we do not respect and nurture the enviroment as we should, that some of the climatic change is beyond our control? Just a thought. I do agree we need to be more responsible, but the US is not solely responsible for pollution either. Many other countries have factories and have tested nuclear weapons and are overpopulated, and they all contribute to the deterioration of the enviroment as well.
