I remember when I was a kid, and it was opening day on buck season in Pennsylvania, and waking up to look out the window and see the snow covering the ground, and how peaceful and quiet it was. Walking through the woods with snow on the ground was like being in another world, a perfect world. I want to not only tell my kids about these memories I have, but I want them to experience it for themselves and not just hear about them.
Why do you want to help fight global warming?

because the world is too beautiful to mess up. but like the rest of the world does they cant undo so nobody cares about what or where we live, just that we do. even if its stinky and dying.

I remember back when I was also young.
Autumn was great, its was not as cold as it is now, its was great to go down by the river and see all the leaves get carried away in a red wake.
I also have fond memories of various mornings with the sun out and frost on the window.
I'd like things like they were 8 years ago.
Winter now is much colder, its has actually snowed maybe 3-4 times in a row where i live and it rarely ever did snow, even at christmas. Summer, i don't like warm weather, it feels much warmer now.
One thing to note, along with global warming we will see global dimming. The earth with get darker, and in fact it has got darker slightly earlier due to the polution forming thick clouds, blocking out the sunlight more easily. Which is making winters colder and snow more with the additional thick cloud cover.
So in the end we may, or most likely will see the earth cool down again. Someday the second ice age will come around.

I want my grandchildren to see what earth looks like, if I have Grandchildren before the world burns up! Plus I am so paranoid about how we might smolter in the schorching heat, and the days where school would be closed due to 40 inches of snow. I also loved family road trips to Wilkes-Barre in fall and when driving you could see the back mountains Peak covered in snow and Ice, which made this world so special, a better/more majestic picture than any 1080P TV can show. It made me feel like I was the only one who had the best picture right in my eyes. But now thats gone, In the summer, you can see the grass burned up and in fall, its just trees dying. . .

Please tell me you're joking. I have a feeling that you're not though.
Did you know that seasons change? Did you know that just because one December is freezing cold that doesn't mean next year will be the same?
I hope you aren't trying to say that the Earth is warming up so fast that you noticed that it stopped snowing on the first day of buck season. If that were the case then 10 years from now it will be 80 degrees on that day. People are funny about the whole global warming hoax. I laugh and laugh at people that say "It was alot colder when I was young."

Errr, yeah, and you walked to school up hill both ways, barefoot in that same snow.
The global warming alarmists have done a wonderful job of overstating the effects of the alleged global warming. Currently, global warming alarmists claim the planet has warmed .7 degrees celcius (that is before they realized their temperature data was wrong for most of the last decade). I'm sure it still snows when it is .7 degrees warmer.
BTW, anecdotal evidence is worthless. I remember when it was 95 - 100 everyday during the summer here in Texas. Now it is only 85 - 90 during the summer here in Texas. I want to not only tell my kids about these memories I have, but I want them to experience it for themselves and not just hear about them.

I remember as a child about 60 yrs. ago it was so hot in the summer the thermometer would hit 120 in the shade which there was very little of. These past 2 summers the temp has hit 100 a couple of times but it has been much cooler. I do the environmental thing because I think it is the right thing to do, but to be perfectly honest I love our weather now and wish it would stay this way.

How can you stop global warming if it's the Sun that's warmer now than it was 30 or 40 years ago?
Clearly you don't believe the output of the sun remains static.

"opening day on buck season" ... my reason isn't so I can go hunting to be sure ... my reason is pure & selfish self preservation, just like most people.
