Yes i belive that the earth is geeting over heated due to the phenomenon of global warming. which is resulting in melting of ice caps in the poles and raising of sea levels sourcing a serious threat to the cities on sea shore,
the means of protecting earth from this is
1. creating awareness about GW among the wprld population
2 .Having control over burning of fossill fuels, nclear fuels
3. preventing forest fires
4. funding research on pollution free, non exhaustable sources of energy ( fuel cells)
5. Afforestation.
6. educating global population and uniting them take action to supress GM.
7. recycling and reusing materials
8. minimizing the useage of non bio degradable materials.

If it weren't for global warming the Earth would be a far different place than it is today? It's been warming since the last Ice Age peaked. Personal opinion says those scientists who say the Earth will be destroyed by global warming are out to lunch. They have no faith in Mother Nature.
Life will go on. Mother Nature has compensated for massive vulcanism, mile wide meteor strikes, and more. Maybe life as we know it will no longer exist, but life will continue on Earth till the Sun goes Nova.

True scientists would conduct their tests with such accuracy as to not allow for any extra variable. There are some problems with the surface temperature measurements taken. They were in urban areas. Second, temperautres on a world wide basis have only been monitored for about 150 years. Third, never is there an account for increased solar activity nor volcanic or seismic activity in these global warming warnings. I think that you don't have anything to worry about, that is with global warming. What I think you need to be concerned with is Congress trying to sell you some land in Florida. While these guys want us to be all up in a wad over a science fiction story and spend tax dollars in ways unheard of, our schools need help and we still have untold diseases that need cures. Pornography is running unregulated and ruining families, and our nation. Regulating pollution is necessary. Finding alternative fuels is necessary. Putting the world on red flag alert and causing massive panic over non-substantiated claims is immoral. Shame on Al Gore and Nancy P.

Don't freak out about it so much. When I was in high school the going hype was that we would be completely out of oil by the turn of the century and we would already be experiencing mass extinction.
As just one small example of how humans have a relatively tiny impact on the atmosphere, consider that volcanos spew tons of poisonous gases into the atmosphere with every eruption and when laval flows into the ocean the resulting steam is pure sulfuric acid. Consider also that forest fires were once not controlled by humans and spread across hundreds of square miles. Finally, think about how much methane is given off by every dead plant, animal, fish, and bug. Humans are not as terrifying as we like to think we are.
However, none of this means we shouldn't be smart about our treatment of the environment. If you really want to have the most direct impact on the environment as possible, study hard in school, become an engineer and create a sensible replacement for fossil fuels.

Global warming is a problem that is in our society that needs to be solved. I believe that America has contributed to global warming in crazy amounts.. Many debate that it is a natural occurance, but even if it is.. It wouldn't hurt to help the enviornment anyways...
If everyone just changed a couple of simple things we do each day we can help make our enviornment better.
For example. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Elevator's contribute to global warming. many do not realize this but the energy being used.......
find an alternative energy source.. Of course gas prices wil continue to rise no matter what happens, but if we started carpooling more, or maybe even biking, we could help the enviornment as well as maybe lose a couple extra pounds and help the obesity problems as well..
Of course there are the simple things, such as recycling and such. that would obviously help.
If we stopped cutting down so many trees it would help a great deal. Maybe we should work harder on preserving forests etc, work harder to plant more trees....
The truth is, there is no way to stop this disaster unless everyone changes a small portion of their way of living. It takes time, and dedication.... Sure some people will listen, but what about the people cruising in their hummers and smoking cigarettes. Those are little things that could be changed, but they won't stop to listen.. We should focus on that so we can all work together to help our environment.

Their is no cure for global warming but a slowing down of the effect.
If we where to cut off the damaging pollution today, it would still take another 30 years to dissipate the damage we have caused to the global environment.
I suggest we create an awareness program to inform all people, with disturbing facts of the effects and projections that global warming has on the environment and publicize this on paid televisions as well as public broadcasting. Can you believe it, some people still don't believe that Global Warming exists?

We can't. Past temperature maximums have been on the order of 3 degrees Celsius than current global temperatures, and there is no reason to believe that natural warming trends will not eventually reach this level.
We may, however, be able to reduce the extent that it will get even hotter, assuming that man made greenhouse gases will cause this to occur.
But even if there were no man made greenhouse gases in play, global temperatures will almost certainly continue to rise up to past maximums.
IMHO, we would be better served by getting ready for this inevitable event than by all the hand wringing, name calling and finger pointing that charaterizes the current debate.

We as people have the duty to elect politicians who are willing and able to stop global warming. Honest people should be elected, not rich people who have the power to control everything, even who gets elected with their money.
We should demand that elections be closely watched by panels of people from different parties at the roots; which means votes should be counted in each voting place by the panel members and added up city by city, and then state by state without leaving it to electronic facilities, which can be run by people who are bought to give us fake result and thus foil all the best efforts.
We went to control votes in the Philippines some years ago to make sure that there wouldn't be fraud, we should be able to guarantee that fraud doesn't happen in America.
If we cannot do that, we will lose not only at home but also in the world scene as people of all countries are now looking at us as the worst run country in the civilized world
If we cannot guarantee that elections will not be stolen, we will not have a democracy but a crazy form of government run by few dishonest and rich politicians who can buy people out of their duties.

The newspapers nowadays are full of this topic and it is good that they are increasing public awareness on this topic as it is proved that the ice in antarctica is melting very fast and so are
glaciers! Some villages in Orissa coast are already submerged! We all need to be careful in keeping the environment as goobd for future generations by reducing our dependence on so called modern comforts! This generation has caused more damage than those of several past centuries!If our children and grandchildren are to continue to have a healthy environment everyone should contribute his mite! The so called developed World seems to be the biggest culprit!

There are many simple things you can do in your daily life that can have an effect on your immediate surrounding, and on places as far away as Antarctica. Here is a list of few things that you can do to make a difference.
Slaughter all cattle
Cow farts have a greater impact on global warming than idling cars.
Stop breathing
The carbon dioxide we exhale is a contributing factor. Over 6 Billion People = a lot of carbon dioxide!
LOL man made global warming is just a scheme made by a bunch of lunatic socialists.

In the global scheme of things, I do not believe we as mere humans can ever completely stop Global Warming any more than we can stop the earth from rotating around the sun. Perhaps we can slow it down, however there is no scientific data to prove this 100%.
