With all the Global warming going on at the moment, I believe they have predicted the ice will melt in the next 100 years. Do you believe this or do you think it might end sooner?

I am crapping it, dont want it to happen im my life time, i have another 30-40 years to go yet.

I know it's annoying when someone asks for help with schoolwork, but does anyone know where I can find some articles on the environment that are written with a bias? Please, I'd really appreciate it.

It drives me crazy all day long: people saying "Global warming isn't real," "we aren't doing anything wrong," ***why do people keep insisting that there is nothing happening here? BOTH sides answer please, I need to see where you all are coming from!

I am aware about the argument that melting North Pole ice will not contribute to raising sea levels since it’s not land based ice and the buoyancy of ice is higher than melted water. Land based South Pole ice and melting land based glaciers will contribute to rising sea levels. But what's about the rise in global temperature? Will that not increase the evaporation rate of sea water and offset the rise of sea levels through thawing land based ice sheets?

If your understanding (or lack of it) of the global warming science leads you to conclude:
a) we are doomed, or
b) we are doomed unless we act quickly
c) we might be doomed, but we have plenty of time to save ourselves
d) we are not doomed, it's all a storm in a teacup
e) we are not doomed and those who say we are will doom us if they get their way.

Which conclusion do you think sums up your attitude?
If you are proved wrong, would you be happy or sad about it?

I'll add my hypothesis about the results when I select a best answer.

I think it hilarious that government agencies are just getting on the top of economical disaster while scientist have been talking about this for decades. Maybe if they weren't allowing the oil companies to line politicians pockets we would have had more efficient and better energy sources and vehicles done years ago. Before we started to notice a huge change in global warming.

There are many inland areas in the world which are below sea level. Death Valley and the Salton Sea Basin in California are examples. Couldn't a siphoning system be designed which would allow these depressions to fill with sea water if melting polar ice leads to rising sea levels? I don't know if there would be enough available volume in these areas to make a real difference, but this is pretty simple technology and i would think that having new inland seas would be preferable to losing Manhattan, wouldn't it? Another example, the Afar Depression in Ethiopia is hundreds of miles long. If the entire East African Rift Valley can be connected to the Red Sea, it could create a sea almost as large as the Red Sea itself...that would have to help, wouldn't it?

Do you know how much transportation contributes to global warming and do you know anything about transportation effected global warming. Also how much does polluting factories, forest fires, and greenhouse gases contribute and anything about them....

Tell you what you think of this poem I wrote. Be honest and tell me if it sucks.

Tree…
We need you to breathe in order to live.
Our environment needs you to survive.
You provide us, animals, and plants with shelter.
The climate is protected by you.
You absorb water and reduce flooding.
You provide us with beautiful scenery,
And so much more,
And yet we still cut you down.
Forests of you are burned,
For our own selfish reasons.
We do not realize that animals’ homes are being destroyed,
Or that this increases global warming.
We are making it harder to breathe by the destruction of you.
This could lead to the killing of us,
The human race,
Because of the destruction of you.
Some of us want to save you,
Though we are powerless to the ones in control.
All we hear is crash, smash of you and your family.
As we say bye to you,
We say bye to ourselves.
