What changes have you suffered from global warming?

I lived in Corpus Christi, Texas since I was a teen and the beaches are slowly disappearing. I remember as a teen it was huge. Now it's like nothing and they built a seawall to protect the buildings. My grandfather said he used to be able to scoop fish out with a net from the water. That's not true anymore. I live in San Antonio now and I remember when we had rain naturally every spring, our rainy season. Now we have to seed the clouds to get anything and when it does come we overseed and it becomes torrential. Global warming? It's a lot hotter than it's ever been down here anyway!

Since I don't live in New Orleans I have not been on the receiving end of some of the more severe results of Global Warming, but we are getting a lot less fog than we used to here in San Francisco.

Smart question, you have put your finger on one of the insidious things about Global Warming, by the time most of us start to feel the effects directly it will be way too late. If I may can I offer an analogy.

Suppose you were laying on the ground with your eyes closed and someone started to shout at you that a pavement roller was coming towards you, slowly mind you, and you say to them "I'm not moving because I don't feel anything". Wouldn't you agree that by the time you start to feel the roller crushing your toes it might be a little too late?

Global Warming is kind of like that.

a more interesting question is what gw can do to you. gw is like a glacier that is not something you can see moving right before your eyes (assuming that gw is actually happening). What can gw do to you? Your house/company, say in California, might disappear into the seas, 100 years later. Maybe you will not suffer, but someone related to you might.

So what is gw doing to you? i guess it changes your life depending on how the law makers move the budgets around. It makes some people (and someday perhaps you) to share rides with strangers (car pool)...

global warming does not occur at a scale that is really noticable during one human lifetime, its the wrong way to look at it

global warming melts glaciers and destroys marginal ecosystems, these changes may not seem to affect humans, but all changes affect everything in ways that are not completely obvious

global warming that seems to have been occuring for the past 10-15,000 years (or more) seems to coincide with the explosion of the human population but also seems to have brought on a mass extinction of other large species (it remains to be seen whether humans will ultimately be part of that extinction)

It is costing me more money everytime I fill up with gas. With the new additives dictated by the EPA and the Corn Growers Association.... All because of the reported global warming. What about the recent find in the south pole? signs of plant life and temps in the 70's....

Global warming seems to be becoming a new religion. Back in the day, man would try to explain natural events through their gods. Displeasing the gods resulted in famine and such. Now, all natural events are due to global warming. Earth is the god and when we hurt it we are punished through global warming, as the claims go. See the relation?

Absolutely nothing. It's overhyped by Liberals idiots like Al Gore.

None at all. I still have to shovel (insert one of the 300 Eskimo obscene terms for snow) in the winter.

I live in Australia ,as a result of global warming myself and two of my kids have gotten skin cancer and i assure you we do not lay out in the sun,and never have.

Better tan. Its the Sicilian blood. My great-grandparents could finally recognize me.
