Global warming is affecting the health of humans in some areas due to water shortages. The warming of the earth is causing desertification, the shrinking of lakes, the melting of glaciers, a decrease in snow pack, and a decrease and change in the patterns of river flows. Water shortages have huge repercussions on humans beyond just drinking water, such as food shortage because of a lack of irrigation water during crucial growing seasons. Experts already link warming with food and water shortages and predict that these problems will intensify and become more widespread if warming continues.

Nope, it was decided by the 'powers that be' back in the late 60s they could no longer control the masses through war; ie rationing, living with less, etc. They had to find another passionate issue, so they picked the enviroment which would make the people believe they could actually change and control through recycling, money into clean water issues, air, etc...
There is no such thing as manmade global warming its all natural and just like the ice age its just a trend. It took earth took millions of years to go into the ice age and vice versa, do we really think our few particulates in the air could change things?

Global Warming does not exist.
Do research. I could get research within 2 days but i have mid-terms.
dont fall for government fallacies.
If you study this subject (not just using leftist sites) then youll see that the world has actually gotten a little cooler.

Yes, I do believe in GW, what it will do is not clear.
Where there is an action there is a reaction. So, that would be a good assumption if you think of the whole realm of heath. It will effect other things then just health.

"Global warming" is a modern term for a natural event.
It happens. No one causes it and certainly no one stops it.
Go worry about river-water pollution and energy conservation; these you can personally affect.
