Environment - August 2006

With scientists all in agreement that the planets temperature will rise by up to 6 degrees in the next few decades. With answers and models inplace on how to reduce the (even level off) increase in global warming. How can we sit back and knowingly do nothing until it becomes a global catastrophy for our children and grandchildren over the next fifty years? Do we really want to go down in history as the generation that knew what was going on and did nothing to reduce the problem?

are we really all about to die because of global warming and over-population or is it an exaggeration to make people care? look up ehrlich's "population bomb" that was one scary theory, but was false. tell me your opinion. are you a skeptical environmentalist? what problems do you think the environment is facing?

As floating bodies displace their mass, and as the ice cap of the north pole is all floating, and the periphery of the Antartic is all floating ice sheets too, Why if these polar ice caps melt, are sea levels forecast to rise ?
Surely any effect on sea levels because of melting polar ice caps will be negligible ?

I understand the whole global warming phenomenon. I understand the factors that leading scientists identify as being the cause. However, I think that it is arrogant for humans to believe that we are really impacting the world that much.
Here is the problem: Scientists claim that the earth is over 4.5 billion years old. Recorded history only spans back 5000 - 5500 years. Geological temperature record identifies various "ice" and "desert" ages over the last 200 million years. Scientists have purported cycles of higher and lower temperatures dating back 2000-3000 million years.
Question: How can we prove that we are "responsible" for global warming? How do we know that this is not just a regular cycle of the earth that we happen to be here to record? After all, scientists are just presenting various hypotheses. So why do we believe them?

Even with overwhelming evidence and consensus in the scientific community many people still don't believe that humans are impacting the climate. My question is simple, isn't it better to err on the side of caution and do what we can to clean up our environment, wean ourselves from fossil fuels and look into new energy alternatives than risk the outcome associated with a major climate shift?
