Climate change is now showing its true color. Forest Fires have endangered wildlife. It has gave way to drought. Increased temperature will soon melt ice caps and glaciers on mountain-tops. People will soon miss these losses. Recreational activities will become limited. Can't we hold hands and give solutions?

Definetly Yes, unity gives strength, and nothing is impossible.

Can we be united? Sure. Will we? Given human nature, probably not.
All of which avoids the question of how much humans can actually *do* which will have a significant effect on global warming. Fact is, global warming (and cooling) have taken place for millions of years without human activity. The late Permian, for example, saw an average global temperature about 30 degrees higher than today. The early Triassic featured oxygen levels about 25% below today's values. So even if the globe is getting noticeably warmer - and even that is not as certain as Fibber Gore would have you think - the degree of human contribution may be close to nil.
Incidentally, in recent centuries the primary moderating effect on global temperatures has been from major volcanic activity, not necessarily the 'solution' we might want.

Global warming is real. Human activity has been a significant contributor to an alarming acceleration in global warming over the past 50 years.
Al Gore has been speaking on this topic (and has made a highly-rated film). In interviews he says he would like to see the awareness of Americans on this issue reaches a "tipping point" where they begin to demand action on the part of elected officials to take action to reduce our contributions to global warming.
When I drive around town, I see the roads choked with SUVs that are pumping out a lot of hydrocarbons. This despite fuel costs exceeding $3.00 per gallon. Factories are contributing more ozone-layer-depleting chemicals than they could.
We can view the problem as an annoyance and keep going the way we have, or we can begin to look at both our own behavior and the OPPORTUNITY that can come from the industries of alternative energy production and "green" manufacturing. Even Wal-Mart now realizes that "green" can be good for business.
Are we going to continue to accept politicians that are "in denial" about global warming, or who simply ignore it, or will we demand accountability for positive steps in this area.
The Republican-dominated Congress this year has less scheduled days of activity than even the "Do-Nothing Congress" of the Truman era. Can any of us think of something productive for them to do to earn their record high salaries? I can.

the authentic reality is that the earth is going out of orbit and is gonna crash into the solar. The worlds politicians do merely not choose us to study about it. actually the elements continually differences. Why ought to it stay an identical? that is stupid to imagine that it ought to. Screw Al Gore and all something of the alarmists attempting to make a greenback out of the temperature. they're all loopy!

You sound to fanatical, you have to tone it down and find real solutions so that people will WANT to change. Try taking away gasoline, and see if you dont get chastized, We gotta find REAL solutions period, not just HOLD HANDS.
