I am also concerned with our environment needs to be cleaner for everyones general health but why is so many so worried about all the icebergs melting and covering the world in water when God promised us he would not use water to destroy the earth again... This is not the words of human but a Promise from God .I truly beleive in his every promise and all of his promises are indeed promises.

I now hesitate to use power tools and the lawn mower.

I don't know how to answer the Super Market cashier when they ask..."Paper or Plastic?" Either one spells environmental negligence.

I need my automobile for getting to and from work, but limit long trips.

I have energy efficient devices in my home.

Yet, everyone around me goes about doing the same old, same old...and time might be running out.

To those of you who still believe earth is just fine and dandy...do me a favor, don't bother answering.

All the gadgets and inventions from the past century are coming back to haunt us now with 6.4 billion people ignoring all the signs that something ain't quite right.

Go ahead, bombard me now. (Please...spirited discussion and hopefully it gets to the morons in command).

do you people just not care about the environment, or do you just oppose the idea of global warming. if you dont believe in global warming why wouldnt you try to conserve electricity and reduce fossil fuel emissions. CO2 isnt the only by product of burning fossil fuels, acid rain and other problems are caused by pollution from fossil fuels as well.

Steven Harper (CANADA - thus making us the bad guys) when all he is asking is that developed countries like the United States, China, and India (developed meaning they are the biggest offenders when it comes to polluting) be INCLUDED in the deal?

What good is it if every other countries has these STRICT rules imposed on them and yet the biggest polluters still get to carry on as always? Why even BOTHER?

With scientists and experts BEGGING politicians and claiming immediate action is required just to HALT the effects of global warming (drying up of our fresh water resources and drastic climate effects like drought and flooding) taking 20 years to halt before even expecting to see any reversals, so why oh why are the GOOD guys, the BAD guys here?

Do people not care they are killing your children? And make no doubt about it, tossing this off as hogwash is just that....hogwash.

Time for people to pull their heads out of the sand before that's all they have left to eat.

Given the huge number of variables, many probably not even identified, events such as climate change will be debated up to either the completion or elimination of the event. Anyone who has taken high school chemistry should understand the theory and why it is possible.

Personally, I’m convinced something is happening, and have made changes to be far more energy efficient in my life and career. If I’m right, I’ve made my contribution to eliminating the problem.

If I’m wrong, here’s the impact on me: my fuel bills for my car and home are cut in half, the bottom line at my business is stronger due to reduced energy costs, my new landscaping looks awesome, and I have a slightly clearer conscience on wars over oil. I also have enjoyed some nice capital gains on emerging alternative energy stocks. It’s all win/win for me.

For you folks who disagree that man has an impact on global warming: if you’re right, you get bragging rights (but you still pay more for energy than I do)

What if you’re wrong? I’m anxious to hear your answers.

There appears to be a steady increase in the absurdity of some arguments used by some skeptics to refute global warming. Is this because they've exhausted the credible and are now turning to the incredible instead?

Each day more evidence emerges to support the theory of manmade global warming, are skeptics now becoming increasingly desparate in their attempts to retain any vestige of credibility?

Yesterday alone we saw, amongst other things...

● The outbreak of more wildfires in California, in themselves they neither prove nor disprove global warming but are part of a global trend of ever increasing numbers of wildfires.

● Australians voted for a new Prime-minister on a manifesto centred on environmental policies and a pledge to sign the Kyoto Protocol.

● The heads of the Commonwealth Nations agreed a 'firm commitemnt' to tackle climate change.

● Oxfam published an in-depth report stating there has been a 400% increase in adverse weather events since the 1980's.
