Global warming is already here, its too bad no one seems to think it is real that is until it is too late, probably when no one can breathe normally anymore. Go out and plant some trees people! recycle before the garbage smothers us, don't use aerosol cans for anything, cut down using your cars - share a ride with someone, there are so many things that people can do.

Actually the temperature of the earth has increased less than 7/10 of 1 degree (C) from 1880 to 2005. That is an increase of about 1 degree (F) in 125 years. You may choose to believe that is global warming or you may not. Source: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/2005cal_fig1.gif There are numerous charts all over the internet showing the same. Some say that 1 degree is enough to impact the global climate, others say it's not. Most proponents of global warming think the earth's temperature has risen much more than that and don't even know that it has only risen by 1 degree. But the charts do not lie as do the proponents on both sides of this issue. The average temperature in Antarctica is 109 degrees below zero. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctica#Climate It seems to me 108 below (one degree warmer) is still pretty cold and not enough to melt anything. But there are those that say it will.
Back in the '70s all the hype was about global COOLING and another ice age was coming. I remember that they blamed pollution for that too. They said that all the pollution was darkening the skies and not as much sun was coming through so the earth was cooling off. It took many years to discover that they were mistaken and it was all just hype. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling So when someone says, "the sky is falling" don't believe everything you hear on either side of the issue. There are Spin Doctors galore out there.
Most of the time people will form an opinion and not really be informed about the subject with which they become so opinionated about. So it's best that you not form your opinions from other's opinions, (as in this forum) but on the facts presented. (Many do not provide any proof or links to prove their point, just their opinion.) With that said we do have a responsibility to do our part by doing whatever is within your power to keep our planet alive and well.
I hope that helps...

The best thing you or anybody else can do is to investigate global warming for themselves, instead of believing the hype and propaganda.
Only when people learn the truth will they be able to make an informed decision on how to improve their lives and the environment. But as long as propagandists like Al Gore are looking for profit, the people will never be able to see through the fog of lies.

Pollution causes 160 000 deads in europe every year. Pollution in USA is much higher, so, without any doubt, it causes more deads in USA.
Many respiratory track deseases are caused or increased by pollution, even if they dont finnish with dead of patients.
It causes that we must pay more taxes and bills for helth care.
This is just one way on how pollution affects all of us today. There are many others.

Another of the brainwashed asks what can he do.
If you are so concerned, wouldn't death end your contibution to the problem? Do dead people make anykind of carbon footprint?
