what if anything are you doing in your life about it?

yes I'm trying to conserve energy by unplugging everything in the house that is not currently in use. I'm trying to find these certain light bulbs that were mentioned on Oprah,planting trees, and trying to do research on the computer to find out what else I can do.

When I was a child I remember they started talking about global warming and said that someday all the seasons will be mixed up. And someday children would not know seasons as I did.
Now I am an adult and I realized last year that my little sisters have never known a year with full normal seasons.
You might not feel it right now because your country being bigger it is going to take time before all of you experience it but where I live we are already in it. And the issue is not if it is natural or not, not if it already happened or not but the pace of it. We are not doing anything to slow it down or to get ready for the changes.

No, I'm not worried. Global warming is a myth, sorry to tell you that. When satellites measure the Earth's temperature, they get the same temperature. Remember, most people only observe a small area, and say that the whole world is warming up. Also, studies show that the world was significantly hotter 200 years ago!
While we may have an especially hot summer, someone else might be having an especially cold winter. So you have to measure the whole Earth's temperature.
Lastly, while some polar ice caps are melting, others are steadily growing! (They never mention that, do they? =)
I hope this helps!

Rent 'Inconvient Truths'. Global warming is upon us and everyone will be kicking themselves in a few years. It is natural and it is human made also...either way it is happening and if you do your homework, you will see how we are progressing towards it a an alarming rate, not a slow natural rate.
I recycle, do not waste electricity, drive a four cylinder and support companies that are ecologically minded.

I'm advising all the old people I know to sell their Florida real estate before it's submerged.
I'm also looking at investing in oceanfront property in the Ozarks.

No! If you look back at the weather records as far as we have them, there have been periodic shifts, up and down. It's always been that way, and right now is the time for temps to go up. If they don't start going back down in say ten years, then I'll start getting concerned.

no, it's fake. don't agree? well can i ask you this? how come the glaciers, that covered nearly the entire present-day U.S., melted, ending the ice age?? because the earth warmed...right? and that was waaaay before SUV's came...that is why i think this "global warming" is a natural phenomenon.

No I have enough to worry about already, mainly rent, bills and gas money. I will let the bureaucrats work that one out.

I'm not too concerned. If it really is man powered (which I'm not convinced) then me riding my bike instead of driving my car will make no difference.
