Personally, I believe in global warming. But if you don't (which is your opinion and I respect it), shouldn't we, from your point of view, take extra measures to keep it from happening? I believe that it is already happening and that we should make changes to keep it from getting worse. What do you think?

Please tell me your reasons for believing/not believing in global warming. Can I have honest answers this time and not answers that shoot my question down?

There are some who feel we(humankind) have altered our planet, and those who say have had no impact.
The question is, should we not err on the side of caution, before this planet is possibly damaged?
We catorigize hurricanes, tornadoes as 5, or less, and earthquakes as 10 or less, but can we be assured that the planet can't come up with a 14 on either?
I've seen the Rocky Mountains, and I'm certain that their appearance was a very disruptive event.
The recent floods and droughts may or may not be a warning, but what is the alternative if we make a wrong move, some other home?

People need to comprehend that if a green product is manufactured more than 500 miles from its point-of-use, then the green aspect of such products is lost. Cargo ships emit tons of CO2 in their travels to and from China.

There was a dramatic case of global warming about 15,000 years ago during glacial retreat. Many ecosystems were displaced or destroyed and and sea level rose dramatically. This is just one instance over the last billion years or so. Climate is always changing and who is to say our current one is best for humans? The problem is that our society has developed with the assumption of no change. I promise climate will change someday, and dramatically, no matter the cause. How would we be reacting if global warming was proven to be nature-based? And if global warming is universally bad, is global cooling universally good?

We need to be focusing on long-term planning to adjust to it, not the cause. Fire away, alarmists...

I listened to what people from the 70's said that they predicted an ice age, and as far as I saw in the movies,baby,cause I'm just a n ordinary peaceful citizen of earth, I can judge that it could be possible that secret experiments were done by some organizations that were scared of the ice age, and the result, voila,it is called global warming.
They probably messed with the magnetic field or placed something a device in the orbit.
What do you think?

We often hear that clean drinking water in third world countries is a big issue, and that organizations are trying to help them.
How do they?

How do you get clean water from contaminated water, anyways? A Biology teacher that I know said that one day she and her class took out ALL impurities from a glass of contatminated water, but it smelled and was yellow. So how do you get clean water?

Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, "Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Have YOU looked with lust? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you've done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer-at-heart. The Bible warns if you are guilty you will end up in Hell, where you will suffer forever, and I don't mean Katrina bad or earthquake bad because those wounds eventually heal, but this will never end. That's not God's will. He sent his only Son to suffer and die on the cross for YOU. Jesus took your punishment upon Himself: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Then Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent (turn from sin) today and trust in Jesus, and God will grant you everlasting life.Then read your Bible, obey it and lead others to Him.

i was wondering what are some ways to save energy while using my air conditioner (besides just not using it at all). I use it about once or twice a day in short time periods, like for about 1-2hours each. is this better than just leaving it on for 4 hours straight?

any other suggestions would also be very helpful

Wouldn't it be better if, instead of blaming us the people for the amount of rubbish we produce, to make the manufacturers reduce the packaging and maybe we should go back to paper bags instead.

The world population has more than doubled since 1950. The number of people driving today is about quadruple than in 1950. So why isn't the level of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere higher than reported? Just thinking about all the people exhaling CO2, all the trees we cut down daily, all of the cars on the streets, shouldn't the CO2 levels be much higher if it is man made? From what I have read, CO2 levels have risen about 15-20% since 1950, why not higher?

If people were not littering the planet with more and more people driving cars, producing trash, and using all the natural recources there would not be any problems with the planet. Why is this not an issue with politicians? Maybe they should give tax breaks for people without kids instead of people with kids. We have the power to help the planet but are to scared to tell everyone the problem.

Historically the rich countries has emitted way more greenhouse gases then the poor ones.

What if the rich world decides we don't want to change and reduce the amount of emitted greenhouse gases as much as needed to mitigate global warming but goes the other way by adapting and rebuilding our societies to fit a new climate.

Who do you think should pay the costs for more severe droughts, starvation and floodings in poor countries caused by the changed climate?

Should the rich world just do what we usually does, leave it up to each country and convince them and ourselves they should satisfy with the crumbs we offer them as humanitarian aid, despite the fact that we have caused the problem?

If you don't believe in man made global warming please make this question hypothetical.

People talk here a whole lot about Al Gore's personal behavior, as if it has any meaning about the scientific truth of global warming.

To me he's not involved in the science, he's just spreading the word. He's exactly like a TV preacher talking about God.

So, if you think Al Gore's personal life is important to the scientific truth, please answer this question.

Please look at this link: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8QMHR8O0&show_article=1

Look at the conclusions they make.

The number of Atlantic Storms between 1905-1930 = 6/yr
The number of Atlantic Storms between 1931-1994 = 10/yr
The number of Atlantic Storms between 1995-2005 = 15/yr

Conclusion: Global Warming is causing more storms.

Look carefully at the data you will clearly see that the data is chosen to fit the conclusion rather than the conclusion is based on facts.

The first set of numbers span 25yrs The second 63yrs the third 10yrs

Why the difference in years? Simple, there is no difference in the number of storms over any fixed time span. Since there were more storms during the 30's-40's then today, this number had to be included with the 60's & 70's when there were fewer storms to get the number to fit the conclusion. Also while claiming that the current years have more storms 06 & 07 were conveniently left off.

Global warming is a scam
