    Did you know John Coleman, the founder of the weather channel has researched Global Warming since the seventies and can prove global warming might be a load of crap. He does this by comparing the amount of fossil fuels used by people to the Artic air temperature over the last 100 years. His research shows that fossil fuel emissions have nothing to do with temperature change because while fossil fuel emissions have raised considerably over the last 100 years the air temperature simply has not.

    Also, did you know John Charles, The executive director of the Oregon environmental council of 17 years explains that 97% of all the Co2 emitted into the earths atmosphere is cause by natural occurrences such as forest fires, decaying plants and Volcano's.

    So basically humans only account for 3% of all carbon dioxide emitted into the earth. I'm not saying global warming is totally false but I don't think anybody should stress about it or change there lifestyles because of it. Scientist will never be smart enough to know everything about our earth so try not to believe everything you hear, Especially if it's from Al Gore. Does nobody realize he is a politician not a scientist?

    Nothing will happen to the world. Nothing will happen to the people living on the world. Nothing will happen to the animals that live on the world. Since one there won't be runaway global warming which this question implies.

    I feel humans even more than animals have to worry more about another glaciation occurring than they do about the world possibly getting a few degrees warmer before the next glaciation happens.

    We will die from heat. The planet is literally cooking itself. That's if we don't die from the extreme weather system first.

    Notice how I said cooking itself? Well basically, the world will end sooner or later because the biggest carbon emissions come from the ocean. We can slow this process down by dramatically dropping the carbon foot print we leave behind, but it would have to be on a monsterous scale within a short period of time.

    We still have plenty of time of course, years upon years in which to act, but thanks to the Ocean we will die.

    We were spawned into a world that was set to self destruct. We needed to be here a good few billion years earlier.

    Peace

  • We have no significant effect on global warming, despite what Al Gore and the rest of undereducated America would have you believe. Do we contribute to it? Sure. Is it significant? Absolutely not. Can we stop it? Again, absolutely not.

    Extinction isn't as far off as many people think.

    It's a natural progression. We'll go into Cold Ages and Warm Ages. But luckily that will be millions of years from now----thus, humans probably will not even be here to experience it. So why freak out? Get in your SUVs and run over some trees! We won't experience anything in our lifetime! lol

    I don't believe that crap. The earth has warming and cooling trends every 30 years, about. Of course they don't tell us that, maybe in hopes that we will actually do something about our polution. Yes, there has been an increase of carbon dioxide in our enviornment because of deforestation and of course other things. And we do need to stop that or it will effect our earth, but right now... I do truley believe that we're fine.

    But to answer your question it will get real hot- and we will all basically burn up.

    all the forests will catch on fire and the entire earth will turn into a big fireball. Sea level will rise at first, then, as the oceans start to boil, sea level will drop quickly. All life on earth will be extinguished. Earthquakes and volcanoes will destroy us all. Comets will start hitting the planet.

    well guess what we can't stop it and it will slowly get warmer and warmer we'll never see the mess it willmake we'll be gone by the time it really takes full force. i mean it culd take millions of years or 100 years to do not sure which but they know. its sad but its just what its been doing for long periods of time. we have cold air and then hot and back and forth for centuries and centuries. it will have the polar caps turn melted and the sea will go up higher and like places like new orleans will be under water and alot of places will be under water but millions of years from now not sure which ancetors will see this but it will be long while
