i agree with you on that. To bad man made global warming is a big hoax though.

What's the matter with you. Seeing documentaries or movies like "the day after tomorrow" just wasn't enough for you, huh?
Not only are we endangering a lot of animal species but also ourselves. OK, let me explain:
The greenhouse effect is a natural process. TRUE
We are increasing the greenhouse effect because of our industries, car and others. ALSO TRUE
The "extra" carbon dioxide that remains is causing global warming. TRUE
In these last past years there have been more hurricanes, floods and earthquakes than ever before. TRUE
A large number of people have died because of these events (remember Katrina). TRUE
So don't act as if it's all going to alright, happy writing (what I think is stupid) "cooler temperatures would be nice!", if you want cool temperatures than move to Norway...

For starters, because an increase of about 3°C will trigger certain feedbacks which will lead to a runaway greenhouse gas effect. Not to mention all the negative consequences we'll see even before then (the WHO currently estimates that 150,000 people die worldwide annually as a result of global warming, and this number will double in the next 30 years).
We cannot cause global cooling. Even if we were to stop emitting greenhouse gases altogether right now, we're already committed to a 1-2°C temperature increase due to the greenhouse gases we've already emitted. The best we can do is to stop global warming, and more likely we can only slow it down. We cannot reverse it.

1 degree rise in temperature already means 10% croploss.
a bigger rise may make it impossible to grow food
I for one need to eat
and it would be nice to breathe as well
if the forests shrivel up we would be practically without air or be able to walk outside ,the days would cook us and in the nights we would freeze.
If it is happening anyway there is little we can do
BUT
If man is somehow responsible for even a part of global warming in the interest of survival we humans should try to do everything to make it less.

Global warming only causes cooling in the movies. There are some computer models that can show certain kinds of warming causing a cooling, but most do not. That is just one example of how unreliable these models can be.

Might is well not try.We are all going to die someday and global warming and glorbal cooling are still the same,they are both threats!No matter what we do, if we don't it will continue to get hotter, if we do,it will get to be another ice age!! There is no answer,both leave to death,pain,and misery,We all melt if we stop trying,and if we try we will freeze to death!! There are many ways,beleifs and other reasons for all of this,we can't create a little button and undo this and try again without global warming or ice ages, we only get a few chances for every little problem.Earth changes and if we do leave global warming alone,there is still a chance it could cool.We do not have the knowledge for this and apparently one realizes there are answers everywhere.We find a solution,we get new problems,we find the the wrong solution and do it,we die in 5 minutes.Enjoy life!!!We will all die soon enough.

Hmmmm, why should we try to curb man made global warming? Well if suffering from extreme weather conditions isn't enough how about mass extinctions which ultimately will culminate in our own if we do nothing about it.

Global warming will cause
-you'll fry in the summer
-oceans to rise and drown people, animals
-oceans to rise and less land/land to grow food/less food for you
-lots of animals will die cause their environment changed
-lots of animals will move further up north and mess up the ecosystem
-mosquitoes will move further up north and more people will die from West Nile and stuff
to Megan D: we'll all die, but global warming will help up die faster

Global warming is bound to happen, us humans are just speeding up the process to the next ice-age. The earth will be fine, when we start to destroy the earth too much, the earth will fight back and destroy us. So no damage to the earth, it will recover from us. Were just damaging our future as living organisms on this planet.

Kinda the same reasoning you could apply to those who doubt science by having their heads firmly located in their hineys. Why pull the heads out when you are comfortable?
GW is accepted by almost all recognized science. The EPA, NOAA and NASA to begin with.

Because a 2-3 degree rise in temperature would devastate the world.
It would cause massive coastal flooding and damage to agriculture.
In rich countries this would be an economic disaster. In poor countries, a human one, as damage to their agriculture will cause massive starvation.
