    The evidence for it actually occurring and for it to be caused by man-made pollutants seems to be mounting.

    At the present I'm not sold on the thesis of global warming

    and I'm suspicious of those attempting to alarm others without

    first conducting this debate more openly and more thoroughly.

    Like so many agendas adopted by the politically correct mindset, too many considerations and too many voices are being ignored.

    yes it is alarming and there is little we can do to change things but what is the harm in trying to look after the environment

    since out survival ,Air,Water ,food ,climate all depend on it .

    and the CO2 production is not even the main problem

    Agriculture ,and expanding populations and its effects are the planets biggest enemies

    this text only covers some aspects of Climate change ,i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification ,because of irresponsible farming using chemicals ,over pumping carbon aquifers,over grazing ,wild fires (because of slash and burn gone out of control)

    water and air polution such as caused by

    industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories,

    and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions

    there are natural cycles in the planets life

    but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

    the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions

    are We responsible ?is it the Sun?

    or is it God who wants to punish?

    is it a Natural cycle ?

    or is it Gaia who wants to clean some parasitic infestation?

    who cares ? that is not important any more

    WHAT IS -is that we are gonna be in trouble Source(s) (s) Lester E Brown is the director and founder of the global institute of Environment in the United states .he has compiled a report based on all the satalite information available from NASA,and all the information that has

    come from Universities and American embassies WORLD WIDE ,

    his little book--a planet under stress , Plan B has been trans lated into many languages and won the best book award in 2003

    I don't constantly think of it, yes it's alarming it's supposed to be, if someone was trying to kill you nd you didn't become alarmed how would you react? WOuld u just stand there waiting to be killed, or would u want to make a difference in your future, that's why people become somewhat alarmed, it's all about MAKING A DIFFERENCE for the future, our future kids, I hope this helps, not saying anyone is going or trying or thinking about killing u either

    it is only alarming because its economically smart to pay attention to it now.......so it is pulling in a lot of ratings. Its been happening for hundreds of years!

    Yes, it's worth your time to understand how it is caused and how choices you make can affect it. I've posted this link before but since it is such a recent an trustworthy source it's worth reading again

    I don't think much of it. And, in point of fact, really wish it weren't happening. Yet as much as I'd like to believe that it isn't real, and the whole thing is just a huge bother over nothing, the data simply won't allow it.

    not much! climate change and its toll lots.
