Absolutely. It is happening and is happening right now in the very early stages and will only get worse if we don't act as a nation to save it. However, unfortunately, I do believe that not enough people believe this and things will get too out of hand before people want to fix this problem and it's going to take even longer and more hard work to get things back to where they should be. I do think we'll get things straightened out eventually but it's going to reach rock bottom before enough people listen and start acting.

I know that I'm worried, as well as a lot of others in the world, however being worried and being able to make a difference and change it are two different things... I do what I can to save energy, and drive less often, recycle, and etc., but unfortunately I think their are too many people in the world who are not concerned, or just don't care, and to be honest the harm is already done... we are not seeing it yet, but the pollutants are already in the air, and will continue eating our ozone for years after we clean our act up. It's not us that are going to see the effect of our negligence, it's our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. It's really sad that so many people are so wrapped up in their own lives to worry about the lives of the people that will come after them. People would just rather believe it's not true, so then they wont have to try to solve the problem or deal with it. An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore is a good documentary to see. Just because he's a politician doesn't mean that he's not right occasionally!

I am. As Americans, we forget how all life grows and flurishes because of good old mother nature. Humans need a healthy earth as much as any other life form. A strong agricultural base keeps everything in place. When there is a draught we all notice it even if it is happening miles away because the price of some good or service rises or there is a shortage.
Our world economy and social structure is also tied to agricultural markets. In the long run, crude oil is far less important that water and airable land.
Your question may not get the respect it deserves. To recognize the reality of global warming is to admit that humans need to make changes globally. Our track record for working together around the world is not good. We cannot even agree to stop killing long enough to talk sometimes. But, I am not a gloomy gus. There must be hope and continued efforts to try to make things better.

I am much more worried about the "solutions" that the far left side of this country will impose upon the rest of us. If you want to worry about something you might want to consider what is happening to the honey bees, they are disappearing at a very fast rate. When I was a child and went barefoot in the grass I aways steped on one and got stung, now I can't find any.. With out honey bees crops are not pollinated. without that there will be no food. Maybe in as few as 5 years or so. The major reason is now thought to be Cell phones and the cell phone towers. Are you ready to give up your cell phone. Hmm, that a twist isn't it.

Why would any one worry about a natural phenomenon?
What happens in nature has been going on for ever. Did you know that the glaciers in Sweden are retreating? They have uncovered a silver mine and the dated equipment that was left behind by workers 150 years ago before the glacier formed. It was warmer up to that time before a mini ice age that started around 1830's. Don't listen to the propaganda. You will look back on this in a few years and laugh (hopefully if politics hasn't really screwed our world up using these scare tactics).

I am concerned but not worried. The CO2 levels are rising at an alarming rate, but I do not believe it will cause significant problems before the world runs out of oil. However, I do think it could cause significant problems before the world runs out of coal, because there is much more coal in the world and coal emits more CO2 than oil when burned. If we run out of oil in 100 years and continue to use coal for the next 500 years, including making liquid fuels out of coal, that could be a real problem.

When I was in school 30 years ago they claimed mans actions were leading us to another ice age (in which we would all perish). So excuse me if I don't panic about the current ''global warming'' hype. Lets face it, it's all theory anyway. We only have at best 100 years of accurately recorded meteorological data. Anything else they are touting as ''supporting evidence'' is pure guesswork.

Most everyone is worried, around the world you see it's a hot topic, it's huge.
Those most worried are those that realize the economic impact it can have, which is huge. The weather is one thing, but the economy is another, and this has an impact on it, and that's creepy.

Yes! I am worried and not just about global warming but the lack of reaction(s) to it.
I fear that things have gone too far already and those who don't help will do anything to get in line for help when, you know what hits the fan.
We, as humans, especially in USA, don't do anything unless it affects us directly. NOT all folks are that way but we need everyone to help with this problem not just a handful.

Global climate change has been going on for millions of years.. and it will continue to go on until the end of time.
Worrying about something which is so far beyond our ability to control is just pointless.
