What serious actions will we take against Global Warming?

Question

Hello   good morning 

The fate of the earth, by the Greenhouse effect, is like an enormous scale. We have human causes of global warming, and natural causes of global warming. We can make a difference, but take a guess which side is weighing the world down?


Scientists have been warning the government and the citizens of the world about the Greenhouse Effect, but no serious action is being taken. Yes, we have hybrid cars, but we still have pollution ones. There are over 600 million cars on the earth,and the numbers are growing every day.

I feel so scared and panicked about global warming, about how Earth is slowly spinning toward abolition, and we're pushing her along. There are ways to conserve and save, but how many people are going to stop using hairsprary, stop watching as much TV, and try to remember to turn off lights in unused rooms. Little things, but such tasks are trivial in our minds compared to, for example, shopping, playing video games, and so on. Simple, most humans like the way they live: modernly, and consequently, destructively. "Men do less than they ought, unless they do all the can." from Thomas Carlyle, is an excellent  description

Just close yours eyes and think of a moment, what it must have been like to have lived in the time period where TVs, stereos, and phones were invented. everyone bought one, because advancing technology was good, right. The Industrial Revolution, where we made more cars, trains, and polluting items, had to be good, right. Well, then, if it was so good, why has global temperature been increasing ever since?

Don't worry about me i care about our earth

Stop being such a whiney wimp!

THis global warming is as much a lie more than ever.  And if one country converts to 'green living" while the rest of the world doesnt, how is THAT going to change things.

Nature has a way of correcting itself. Man-made hysteria isnt doing a thing but costing us more to live and being taxed unnecessarily.

Stop being such a whiney wimp!!

LOL - I have a lot less difficulty imagining the world without the modern technology than you because I lived closer to that time.  I remember tvs were black & white if you had one at all, stereos were called record players that played 45s, and telephones were attached to the wall with rotary dials.  Things like computers, cell phones, video games, and microwave ovens didn't exist and air conditioning was for rich people.

The industrial revolution has only been happening for about 200 years.  This is a very short amount of time in the span of the earth and nature works very slowly.  Look into the past and you will see that the ice age took tens of thousands of years to develop and even more to recede.  The amount of time that scientists have accurate data for isn't enough to make a real judgment on what is happening overall.

There have been some scientists that have been warning the government about global warming but there are just as many that don't believe it is significant.  Most agree that the doomsday predictions are propaganda.  It is far from being the consensus that some claim.

I don't believe that global warming is a real danger but do believe we should take care of the earth and each person should leave as little impact as possible.  I find that most people that talk about all the things that people should do to fight global warming usually don't practice what they preach.  They are often complaining about others while talking on their cell phones, typing on their computer, eating prepackaged foods that were cooked in their microwave oven in their air conditioned homes.  They got the food from the grocery store that is a mile from home that they drove their car to get.  If people were really serious about fighting global warming, they would look at the Amish as an example of how to live green.
