Global Warming

Hey people, some of you are more than likeley to know about global warming nowadays, well i only recently watched "An Inconvenient Truth" and am starting to worry, would anyone else agree that this is becoming more than a major issue, it wont effect the world it will erase it and i think we should all stop acting like it will sort itself out.

Warming trends have occured for centuries, I think we give ourselves too much credit. I believe that people will be gone long before the Earth and that the Earth will heal any scars we leave behind in time.

Nice :D

Global Warming is definately happening. In england like last summer we had the hottest day in hundreds of years but to show its not just a cycle of the earth the average temperature has risen a lot too. Our summers used to only get up to about 28-30 C but now they are getting around 35-40 C.

Not a lot of people know, but the UK has the highest frequency of tornados per unit area out of the whole world, however they are the tiny kind, we basically never get the big ones like USA. I think the last one like that before recently was several centuries or hundreds of years ago (not sure the of the date) and it was basically the only one ever known (that was big) yet we've had 2 big american style tornados in the last year. It cant be a coincidence that weather is becomming so strange and getting much more violent around the planet.

I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" too, and it does have some pretty compelling information regarding global warming.

I used to think it was just a cyclical thing that the earth naturally goes through, and there is some truth to that, however, their statistics show that the warm period we are experiencing now is WAY warmer than the normal warm period experienced in past centuries.

I'm not a scientist, so I cannot say how accurate the facts are that have been found by the scientists involved in making the movie, but I would say watch the movie and decide for yourself. I don't think it's something that should be just conveniently ignored.

I dont know how people can think its not happening...Theres proof that the hole in the ozone layer is getting bigger due to greenhouse gases and theres proof that icebergs are melting and the sea level IS rising. Saying its the earths natural cycle is a great excuse to keep living like fucking slobs and a cancer of the planet but the greenhouse effect contributes to global warming and thats one thing that 100% is happening. People that say nothing is wrong or its natural hopefully will die first due to us ruining the planet ;)
