Global warming is propaganda used by socialists to harm the economies of western nations. Do you really think otherwise when a brain dead zombie like Al Gore is pushing this nonsense? Politicians like Al Gore jump on this stuff, as it boosts thier career and gets the votes of gullible people who belive thier scare tactics. Plenty of real scientists have exposed global warming as a hoax, yet the socialists who have the news media on thier side ignore them. 30 years ago it was the same stuff with a scare tactic of being on the verge of a new ice age. Just remember that "crisis" is the cry of the tyrant.

Yeah Darwin was right and Global Warming is true so I predict that the strongest species will be the sea creatures hehe.

The pace of evolution is much slower than the speed of man-made changes to the climate. It is evident in examples when foreign species were brought into ecosystems that had no natural predators and the introduced species made many native species extinct. Sometimes evolution is able to catch up with human intervention e.g. bacteria and viruses becoming more and more immune to antibiotics. But such fast pace is seldom observed in more complex life-forms. So it is just a matter of time. Theoretically, all species present today can evolve to survive in post climate-change conditions, including humans. Maybe we can grow gills to breathe under water when the world is drowned by melting ice, but we don't have that much time.

Yes, global warming is real, no, we're not the cause, yes, darwin was partially right, yes the strongest species (man) will survive, no it won't be you or me...we'll be dead long before the average temperature shifts another 2 degrees.

Yep, the species best suited to the new environment will survive. Of course, that may or may not include humans. The cockroaches will almost certainly make it, whatever happens.

If we accept that humans are largely responsible for global warming, there is also the faint possibility that we will be able to make the planet completely uninhabitable before we become extinct ourselves. Thats fairly unlikely though, because some of the critters that live near undersea volcanic vents are pretty tough.

Aha, you have stumbled on something that many non-environmentalists don't consider!! In fact, climate change will not stop nature from functioning, it will not stop evolution, it will not "imperil the planet". Rather, it will lead to the extinction of many species, and probably the emergence of some new ones. Ultimately, the ones who have the most to lose in the process are humans. Our lives could become considerably more difficult, even though nature will just go on being nature.

Because our earth going warmer and warmer very fast, there is no time for us to do evolution for this situation. Maybe all of us gonna die just like dinosaur when a comet hit our earth million years ago. Who can survive? Species that live on the sea

Of course. But do we really want to cause a mass-extinction that could potentially wipe ourselves out as well? Global warming would cause an increase in insect-borne illnesses (because insects thrive in warmer climates), sea level increases (due to ice cap melting), which would in turn give us MILLIONS of refugees, compounding the planets existing overpopulation of the human race even further by forcing us to take over even more habitat previously belonging to other animals.

It would sorta suck. A lot.

it should work that way,
but as far as the weird weather going on, we still missed on one more point. our predictions about global warming would have been close enough for our survival.
remember the sunami, in the pacific, the year 2005?
as of yet, i haven't heard of one report which can attempt to tie in a 1degree shift of the earth's axis.
with this not included who knows?
the earthquake which caused that wave was violent enough to cause the shift.

Sure. And man can survive global warming. But it will hurt.

Coastal cities will flood, first in storms, then all the time. Changing temperature and rainfall patterns will severely damage agriculture. Rich countries will be able to cope, but it will cost them huge sums of money and lower the standard of living. In poor countries many people will die of starvation but not all of them.

It will be the biggest disaster in human history. Wouldn't it be better to take actions to reduce it?
