It seems like many people in the midwest have an attitude like"bring it on". Aren't you worried that these changes will affect the farmland of the midwest? Why don't you just move to a warmer state if you want to be warmer. If the polar icecaps melt, Florida will be under water.

Is there anything or anybody else to blame for Global Warming?

Are we the ones to blame for global warming? Is there more than our harm that causes it or is it something else? Something natural?

a "green" TV series or movie that was about a family trying to live a "green" lifestyle? Do you think it would be beneficial if new movies used "green" vehicles in car chases, etc.? It seems the more examples out there, the more advertisement and exposure would increase the sale of these green products. Should we be asking TV and movie producers to choose these products?

Are we making a mistake by fighting diseases? Is it possible that some countries are not actively fighting AIDS because they are using it (or letting it) to decrease the population?

A-Does global warming cause (i mean increase the likelyhood) of brush fires in California in recent years (less rain per year, drier vegetation, etc)?

B-Do large brushfires cause (contribute to) global warming (deforestation, generation of heat and CO2, etc)

Or are these effects A and B neglectable?

Al Gore argues through and through that global warming is an issue that needs to be addressed immediately, however he continues to pay $1200/month for electricity, when the average person pays around $120 and he also is seen in his documentary riding in an SUV and a luxury car and in a private jet. Does this seem a little hypocritical to you?

I need to write an argumentative paper for my college writing class and I have absolutely no idea what to write about. It has to do with global warming, and some point has to be argued. So give me some ideas, don't write a book, just some simple ideas that I can maybe form my own from, and do some research and such! Thank you soooooo much.

I recently asked the theory's proponents what would convince them that the theory was false, now it's the skeptic's turn.

So, what evidence would the theory's proponents need to present to convince you that anthropogenic global warming theory is valid?

The question actually stems from optimisim expressed on the Union of Concerned Scientists website. The organization began as a collaboration between students and faculty at MIT in 1969, and is now an alliance of more than 200,000 citizens and scientists. The non-profit apparently prides itself on being " ... the reliable source for independent scientific analysis."

Do you agree with them? Or do you expect a backlash because Gore shared the prize?

I was puzzling over this question earlier today. I thought it might be interesting to see what other people had to say.

What evidence would the skeptics have to present to convince you that anthropogenic global warming theory was invalid?

I've worked out my answer to this question, but I won't post it up here so it won't bias anyone's answers.

Nowadays, some people are beginning to worry about the issue of human overpopulation and the environmental effects that such a large amount of humans have on this planet. We are seemingly using more and more resources per person as the years go by. However, I know many families that have a lot of children. From what I understand, some countries have placed a limit of some sorts on how many children a family can have. In order to keep the population from exponentially increasing, having 2 or less children per family would be the way to go. (one child to "replace" the mother, one child to "replace" the father) However, I know many families that have 4, 5, 6 or more children. Hundreds of years ago, this was considered normal, but there were far less people, the average life span was significantly less, and there were no environmental concerns. At this point in time, it is morally, ethically, or environmentally correct to have such large families? What do you think?
