Does anyone even care? I mean with the fast paced life we live in.....Does anyone even realize what "we" are doing to Mother Earth? I wonder.........well, the Ice (polar cap) is melting at an
abnormal rate than it should. The Oceans are rising, The Volcanos are acting up, Tsunami's are wiping out not one but several "Countrys" at a time! and the Thousands of lives taken?
Tornadoes in California? Earthquakes at their deadliest! really hot summers and freezing winters! The sting on my skin from the sun indicates lesser protection from our Ozone.......Sound like nonsense? Global Warming! is the reason I feel. So now what should "we" do to stop the distruction before it's to late?

You are right on target! See the new movie "An Inconvenient Truth" - it lays out the FACTS, pure and simple, unadorned. Those who want to fight facts are simply running away - and we simply don't have time for that.
The data on CO(2) parts per million, just by itself, is worth the price of admission. Ascarta and others, there is nothing in history that compares to the current numbers and the current situation. YOU are the problem now.

No. I haven't.
Interesting that tsunamis have wiped out several countries at a time. Indonesia was still there last time I looked.
Today we live in a world of information. If something happens anywhere on Earth we know about it. Twenty years ago we didn't. If you heard of an earthquake in Iran or a flood in Bangladesh you'd say 'oh, that's not good' and that'd be it. Now we are bombarded by news updates every few minutes with graphic footage very soon afterward. We interpret this as being more disasters when it's just more information.

Betty - i'm no longer particular the position you received the assistance that a galactic alignment is going to happen on 12/21/2012. that looks the concept you've all started with, and that premise is misguided. I propose, that is in simple terms incorrect. If there is climate replace or more effective earthquake pastime, any such galactic alignment won't be able to be the source, because there is not any such galactic alignment. once you've been influenced through absolutely everyone claiming that there'll be some thing unique about the visual allure of the solar vs. the galactic center on that day, then you actually were misled. it is going to all be in simple terms because that is been for hundreds of years. each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, curiously an same way that it will this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. there is not any longer some thing distinct about this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. no longer some thing. absolutely everyone that tells you that that is unique isn't telling the reality.

b.s. take a glass put ice cube put water when ice melts (90 percent or so under water right. how much overflows? very little. Its a normal cycle. Stop listening to Gore. Millions years ago the Arctic was tropical it goes in phases. You are listening to Junk science. They want you to live in the stone age. Yes we are putting smog type in air, soot, makes us feel bad cause sickness true,but change weather no, except when you put umbrella in a certain area that contains man made contaminants which will affect the weather and health problems in that area. Study, read, something beside the junk science sources

Ascarta's right, you know. Over the course of billions of years since the existence of the earth, the climate has changed dramatically several times. Just because we humans think we're so important that we're causing all this damage to Mother Earth...we're not. As in "Not causing that much damage" and "not as significant as we want to believe."
I doubt that humans alone could 'destroy' the earth. The world has survived tremendous strain before the humans were even thought of, and no doubt will continue to survive long after we're gone.

What about the Great Flood? Was that global warming, too?
Vesuvius, Pompeii? Caused by the hole in the ozone?
How about those Ice Ages? Got a theory on that one?

You've asked a very important question. Have you seen Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth"? He brings up these issues and why they need to be addressed. I'm a big proponent in increasing our awareness of environmental issues. But I also think we need to ask ourselves how much different the weather is in today's age as opposed to what it was like, say 1,000 years ago. More research is needed.

Blame it on the sun. It has been getting hotter. It's a natural change. It will eventually go into a cooling state again and the Earth will cool along with it.
Everything goes in cycles.
Deal with it... and ignore the hype. You can't do anything about it.

what can we do before it's too late? i'm pretty sure it is already too late but the big problems are the newly industrializing countries who are polluting like Eurpoe and America did for the last 150 years.
unfortunately there is not much we can do because big business wants to stay big and in business and the governments are controlled by their big money
we can only live our lives and conserve on a personal level
