Global warming

We can no longer deny it global warming is upon and is taking a good hold on the planet. It may be less than a decade before we are destroyed so what measures are you taking to help.

I have replaced all my globes with enregy saving bulbs

I have replaced all CRT equipment with plasma and LCD

I have got a reusable shopping bag to reduce plastic bag use

I have replaeced my toilet with a dual flush sytem to save water

There is probably a lot more I could do but if we all do 1 or 2 little things it will help.

Tell me what you have changed in your home or business to help stop or reduce global warming

    Human arrogance and stupidity abound on this issue. I don't really care if it is or is not a man made phenomenon. The reality is that we have no connection to our life source, the earth. Climate change is real.

    People think they can strip it of everything and pollute the waters and it won't have an effect on us. Global Warming is a tool. Then big corporation pay "scientists" to make statistics that favor their greed. The above poster has only contributed to the ignorance he complains about. He has missed the point completely.

    Debunking the idea only allows companies to dump toxic sludge into our water supply. Good job. I'm sure you will feel real smart when every crop of food has been destroyed because the soil can no longer support life.

    • I'm glad to hear someone finally taking the point here. All you guys who believe GW exists should start thinking.THINKING NOT BELIEVING!
      Do you yourelf have the impression that the earth is getting warmer? Ask your parents about their childhood - have they always had cold winters and warm summers? There are so many point you JUST DON't GET! And I've had conversations like this before, many times. People like you just don't wanna GET that there is no GW. You don't want. TV tells you computers can't cope year 2000 - you believe(!) it - you panic. TV tells you there are WoMD in Irak - you believe it - you support a war on oil. TV tells you there is GW - you believe it, and so on and so on.
      Does anyone of you understand what you are talking about? Do you know what the ozon layer really does, do you know what albedo is, do you know how the data you rely on are collected and altered to fit in, do you know about the measurement stations that stand next to airports and roads (would you rely on that data? i wouldn't!) do you know that there were times when the CO2-concentration in the atmosphere was ten times higher than it is today and what about the medival warm period? C'mon if your "knowledge" is based on TV and Gore's Film than STFU! I like watching "Scrubs" but I don't think I'm a doctor, so don't think your a scientist. I'm no scientist neither, but you don't have to be one to get this.
      I study geografical science and I can honestly tell you that there is no GW. There have and will always be changes in earths temeprature but this progress is so complex that it's nothing more than RIDICULOUS to make CO2 and greenhouse gasses only responsible for it.
      Moreover there is no "majority of experts" or whatever that say GW exists. There are the ones who are on TV and the others. Those whos articles are published by big magazines( like national geografic) and those who are denied. Think about it. Media controls people. Ever did.
      But well, if you wanna believe in it, like you believe in god - do it. Change your life and BE CONTROLLED! PAY EVERY FUCKING TAX THEY LAY UPON YOU! PAY,DONOR,FOLLOW,FIGHT,DIE for all the lies.

      PS: People have always been controlled by the "truth" the government told them. Roman Empire, Nazi-Germany, Russia, China....just to name the one you might know. What makes you think this did end somewhen? Wake up!

      sry for my spelling. it's late and i'm not english ;-)

    Ok so I am not sure on the validity of this report however there was a report not too long ago stating at least 2 of the leading scientists were bought out to force facts and push inconclusive data that shows a human-impacted global warming. These scientists weren't American. Anyone can be bought if the price is high enough. Keep that in mind when a politician of any party starts to through science in the mix. Politicians are slimy brilliant liars.

    We are at the end of an ice age. What should the earth be doing other than warming. Wait another 10,000 years and it will cool again and the glaciers will return and cover the earth to somewhere around Kansas then everyone will be complaining about Global Cooling. It is less than 2 degrees in the last 100 years why do you think we will be destroyed in 10 years.

    Global warming is a scam. There is NOTHING global about it. Places cool over time, and places warm over time, get over one of the facts of the world. Al Gore is a pussy who just wants to make a few extra bucks by rationing an invisible gas out to the people of America and the people of the world who are getting blamed by end of the world conspiracy theorists. It is you people who are destroying the United States and the World. Restrictions like those Greens want to enforce would block people from realizing the American Dream, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".

    Maybe we cannot deny global warming even though the best estimate of the pro warming people is only 2 degrees in 100 years however we can look at the cause and just maybe it is because we are at the end of an ice age and the globe should be warming

    Global warming doesn't exist.

    Earth's climate goes through cyclical phases. A few decades ago, people were "absolutely sure" we were going into an ice age.

    The earth's total climate change thus far has been a whopping one degree. That's it. One degree. Farenheit.

    Have fun wasting your money. That's what Al Gore wants. That and his popularity back.

    but if those books all just hit the bookshelves in peoples homes and never get thrown away, and if the trees get replanted... then we're talking about carbon storing, which should be subsidized by the government for fighting global warming.

      The thing is, especially especially with magazines, which are being restocked and have their covers torn off for refunds every day, that they don't ever make it off the shelves. Alot of people don't see how much left overs get thrown out in resturaunts, or how many books have their covers torn off and are thrown out, because they are sucky books or because they were written by a fallen overestimnated celebrits etc...

    An example of retail is that I work in a bookstore- and every day 100 pounds, no joke, in my small store alone, of paper get thrown out. There are 3000 stores in the country in that company. Then there is the 10000s of other stores, with selections 100 times greater... thats a whole lot of fucking trees.

  • LoL someone has been watching to much of the Discovery Channel and their climate change commerical they show every 5 minutes to brain wash people. The temp as went up .7 degrees in the last 100 years. Mans CO2 out put has not been enough to make one difference in the climate anyone who buys into this has failed to research the subject. Global warming was made up by industry hating Liberals and they have collected bank from it.

    Who was that one guy who was our vice president? Let me think what whats his name.. He was that guy who lost the election to Bush the first time Bush was voted president... Oh yeah Gore hes collected millions for putting his name on this scam. Kinda like Scientology. Well if my fellow democrats didnt want me to run for president again I guess I would find a way to stay rich and keep my name in the news to.

      Well it may be easy for you to turn your head, but its not for me. .7 degrees in 100 years... with the population and industry growing exponentially on top of an environment that is supposed to be cooling I would say that is cause for concern.

      • No point 7 not a whole 7 not even one degree. Any polution being put in the atmosphere is not Americas fault its other nations. We have very stick regulations and you can drink from most rivers in the states without getting the shits for a week. Go someone else and drink their water. I dont own a factory anyways so why should I be battered to feel bad for something I have no control over if it is true? If my car is bad for the world then go after the people who made it dont make me feel like a turd for owning it.

          yeah, I meant to put the period there. What I was saying is that theoretically it should be cooling now, instead of warming. If you think about it, .7 is a sighnificant amount for 100 years, 50 of which were probably insignificant in most of the world pollution-wise.
          I DO disagree with the constant hurling of blame to consumers and not producers. It is unrealistic and almost unfair to target me blame when I spend what I earn to maximise my life quality. The blame should definitely lie with producers and manufacturers, and even with heads of retail.

  • The ecology of our planet earth goes through turns. There have been several ice ages throughout history that scientist are able to pin point. The ice shelves of the north and south pole expand and contract as a matter of course throughout history.

    The biggest single cause of man made polution/global warming IS NOT what we as individuals do, it is down to industry. If every human did his/her bit to help, it wouldn't make as much difference as shutting down one coal fired generator of electricity!

    Yes, we should all do our bit but, until you get countries like America and even more so, China to adapt their industries to a less poluting form, we may as well not bother as individuals.

    The most relevant thing to global warming, as the scare mungers like to call it, is the magnetic fields of this planet. Most of you may not be aware of it, but these are going through the throngs of changing so that what we now recognise as magnetic north, will no longer be in the northern hemisphere but in the southern hemisphere. THAT is the biggest factor in the weather changes we are seeing at this period of evolution. There is a school of though that claims this is what took this planet out of the last ice age and the current transformation from the north to the south will actually plunge us into another ice age.

    That is a completely different synopsis from global warming.

    As the ice caps currently melt, they are releasing gasses into the atmosphere that we cannot control. THEY are what are causing the hole in the ozone layer, not our activities, although we are certainly contributing in a small way.

        Evolution is for organisms. The environment does not adapt, it just reacts.

        The patterns of climate are always changing on earth, IF you follow the ice age patterns however, you will find that theoretically things are supposed to be getting colder, not warmer, if I remember correctly.

        The only way to assume if it is a good thing or a bad thing is to believe in fate, and I clearly don't.

        Evolution-wise people who want to deny basic biology in favor of a human-centric view of nature might say that the warming might be a good thing- well, its my opinion it would cause more harm than good.
        A few things that would happen are
        ocean currents would change, which could leave britian as cold as greenland and the east coast of the US as hot as florida- this would be a disaster economically.
        Changing climates would drastically throw off established trade.
        Farming would become a much more risky task.

  • I was just thinking about global warming today, and I thought why are we the ones that get blamed for global warming? we don't make the cars, and obviously it the emissions that cause most of global warming. I could choose to not drive i guess, and be an annoying old cat lady living on social security. I also thought about something some guy told me about how in the bible it says that in the "end times" the weather will be weird. Older people tell me they never remember it being so hot, and it's like 70 degrees here, when normally its suppossed to be like I dunno 35. So in other words, if they want us to stop global warming, why can't whoever makes the product do the dirty work for us?
