And how worried SHOULD we be?

Thanks for the answers.
I personally think it's a load of crap!
I hear about it all the time on tv, telling me to stop driving cars with bad smog or whatever it's called, and start recycling more, and make sure to buy the flourescent lightbulbs...
Uhhhh, no thank you!!!
I'll keep doing as I please, I highly doubt the earth is going to fall apart any time soon!

There is no use to being worried. I firmly believe we cannot and do not control or affect it.

The 'issues' pertaining to global warming have become exceedingly popular and have received an enormous amount of both media coverage and spin coverage in the last few years, but the facts have remained the same throughout. THE EARTH IS IN A PERIOD IN WHICH IT IS WARMING UP. Its the truth. Whether you believe or care is irrelevant. THe water levels around the world are rising... millimeter by millimeter.
Wether this is natural or not is also irrelevant because it will impact us as humanity. Go ahead, fight it, 'do your part' in the environemental struggle but think about the problem globally for once. IF you really do care (opposed to simply caring because someone else tells you to) then run for local political positions. Create initiatives in your community for care pooling, solar pannels, w/e. Not just bullshit whinning about talking to friends and whinning about politicians... anyway that's the end of my stupid pointless rant...
but how worried should we be? It always comes down to what you believe. The earth has always been in periods of GLOBAL climate change. FFS there have been how many iceages which we have no definitive all inclusive explanation for. Ultimately the planet isn't going to stop for you, you're going to have to adapt to it...
again how worried should we be? Shouldn't be worried at all. Just get ready for change. We'll adapt, we'll create technology to survive whatever comes... just not all of us will survive if things change.

I suggest our envirominded liberal control freaks (who are now in control) are spinning normal cyclic climate change into a political control feeding frenzy... How many dead now in New York due to the first ever 10 ft snowfall? (oh it MUST be just a freak storm, we really are warming...you know?) BS...
With condolences to the families of the frozen, my 500 gallon hot tub 100 miles east of Portland OR at altitude 2200 ft froze solid for the first time since I moved here 30 years ago... Here's hoping we have a SCORCHING summer... the 4000 lbs of ice just might melt by next fall.... THEN whine about "global warming" (and please stop capitalizing it ok?)

I am worried. I'm not an alarmist either, but I have done a lot of reading and the science is saying that we are heading for some really bad stuff if we don't make a lot of changes. I'm doing what I can...I gave up my car.

not very worried, but still wish people would stop using so much fuel because of the way it enriches foreign regimes that hate us and oil companies who make an obscene profit already.

We should extremely worried. Get out on April 14th and let your concerns be heard. We have to try and compensate for a president who has no brains and doesn't care.

I am very worried. The problem is real, and its irreversable. What's worse is that policy makers aren't doing anything about it.

Everyone should be very worried.
