all the glaciers are going to melt and we are going to drown(hypothetically speaking)

Global Warming is definitely messing with all of us and unless we change our ways, it's only gonna get worse

The glaciers are melting, but don't worry, we can walk lots faster than the oceans can rise so we won't drown. ;)
It actually doesn't have anything to do with the ozone layer at all. It just means that global temperatures are slowly rising, the present rate is much less than a degree a decade.
Most of the present cause of global warming is too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere humans are putting in the atmosphere by burning too many fossil fuels (like gasoline and coal). When we run out of fossil fuels, that will decline, though.
Global warming is real. You will get a lot of answers on here that it's not, but those are the same people who will deny evolution, insist that we never went to the moon, and yet they're sure aliens cross the galaxy to do weird sex experiments on Idaho farmers and draw circles in the crops. Stick with good scientific data and experiments to draw your conclusions

no doubt about it!!! Its Christmas and i went out just in a t-shirt, 10 years ago i couldn't do that. In Europe the weather never was so wild like in the past 10 years. Its scary, because its happening TOO FAST and if WE don't STOP it, then nobody. It's not "slow acting" I think is self accelerating ! Look at how fast the Arctic ice and the glaciers are melting ! Scientist had predict these changes in the next 100 years, but its happening under our eyes...

The vast majority of scientific study shows global warming to be a real threat to life as we now know it. There is however, still time to make changes, but it will take a global effort and there in lies the major problem to seeing any action. Individual states are beginning to take the lead on this issue. Now its a matter of getting the world leaders to step up and act for the betterment of the world and not just whats in it for us.
I've lived in the Midwestern part of the US for most of my life as well as spending five years in Australia. It takes no rocket scientist to see that indeed our climate is changing. Warmer winters here in the USA and much hotter, drier summers in Australia. Additionally there has been a trend toward more severe weather patterns and large degree's of temperature shift.
A quote from a gentleman in Melbourne Australia: "...But Today Christmas day Parts of Victoria Australia was covered in snow not only the mountains but the outer suburbs of Melbourne.
The Coldest Christmas day on record
Not bad seeing last week we had 40c (105f)"

To me global warming is happening now...Not only the glaciers, but also the erosion caused. by humans clearing out our wood lands for new housing and what not, land slides on to roads for example. A good book for all this is " The fingerprints of the Gods, by, Graham Hancock. This will explain how catastrophes have destroyed the former worlds on earth...

There is nothing wrong with our ozone layer . The ozone layer is caused by the solar winds colliding with the earth magnetic field .I don't think u can change either. This creates what is called the Van Allen belt that protects us from the sun radiation. The holes they are talking about ate at the poles and harms now one.

Global Warming is not just a theory anymore..it's a proven fact. If we do not reverse how we treat the Earth then our impacts will be irreversable. Melting glaciers, more violent storms, changing our natural ecosystems etc. The "Inconvenient Truth" has some great points in it and I would recc'd watching it.

I want to say that we are doing something about it (which we are). But Its something that Will happen weather we like it or not. Unless everybody on earth starts being energy efficient and start caring about our planet, in about 30 years we will have a warmer planet and the snow covered like Antarctica will be gone.

it is a sad fact, but the same thing happens to microbes in a petri when they use all their available resources, that is going to happen to humans.
they use their available resources, they have to compete with each other just to survive, and mortality rates increase along with temperature of their small environment, and the toxicity.
we are witnessing that in our own petri dish we call earth. anyone who denies it just shows they are on the same level of the microbes that destroy themselves, not knowing that they are doing it. is man smarter than microbes who just run their course or not? only the future will tell.

Is a slow acting. But has a very strong effect on our living world.
