The Vast majority of scientific opinion is in agreement that it is Humankind's footprint that has brought about a perceptible shift in the natural balance, which is the global ecosystem.

It is no coincidence that as the globalisation of industrialised developments gathers pace fuelled by unprecedented technological advances, global warming increases exponentially!

And with former stagnant developing countries coming on track, like China, India and Russia, this has exacerbated the situation further.
It is the historical innovative usage of the finite resource (petroleum) coupled with rapid development and change in land use that has brought this monumental problem to our door.

There is a clear correlation between exponential fossil fuel usage, and global carbon emission levels, which are a major global warming driving force.

Sadly, the very resource (petroleum) that fuels our global growth enhances the greenhouse effect that exacerbates global warming. We are caught in a desperate loop, a user cycle.

Practically every aspect of our lives involves using resource that pollutes. We are addicted to pollutants, like the smoker who has been told to cut down the habit or it will be terminal, we promise to cut down, and then we relapse through lack of willpower, and clear understanding.

It is a sad fact. The domino effect is well underway. We have about 10 years left before world wide tragedy occurs. Paws

Global Warming has to exist. population increases less oxyygen producing lifeforms.

To what extent it is occuring, exagerations exists with all sides forming conclusion and "in the beginning" therorists.


yeah to what extent the damage curently is and how long to regain or repair the damage...the opinions are as varying as Cs forums.

I beleive it most certainly does exist. jmo

Agree! Maybe it will occur sooner...

I have to agree, global warming is a fact. It's funny that there is so much discussion about whether or not it's actually happening . There are some "groups" that would benefit from the vast majority not believeing in global warming. But now I'm not gonna get into any conspiracy theories

My two cents anyways....

I'm not conviced yet, just because a bunch of scientist get together with a certain agenda does not mean I believe what they say. There are also scientists who say this is al BS as well. Show me the evidence. The planet has been on a warming trend for the last 500 years.

How about a belief in the begining of the end?

I pushed the estimate to the limit. It will occur sooner.

And their agenda is ? Trillions of tons of pollutants in the atmosphere does trap heat, it's as simple as that.

I was told by the Environmental Science Instructor that two-thirds of the Earth is already destroyed....America has contributed greatly and I think its time we start contributing more efforts into slowing it down....just a thought....

the moment I was born deepin the recesss of my little mind I knew that smack on my Ass form that doctor indicated it truly was...
the begining of the end for me.

Fact ,,,,,Ny hasnt had lasting snow all year

Fact...Neither has the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

Smart ass.............

It will take a global coalition and consensus to bring about clear decisive structured plans for the mitigation of global warming.

As we approach crunch time, we look to the bridge for clear decisive action.

But no such action will be taken, because of radical uncertainty that permeates the whole debate on global climate change, at best there in no one on the bridge, and those that are raising the alarm are failing to relay damage assessment to a captain that is beset by problems, that makes those of a floundering ship seem trivial.

The battle with global warming is one we cannot afford to lose

Well they just turned back the doomsday clock, so what does that mean. I'm not saying that pollution is not a problem. There is no doubt it is. I just don't think it's as dire as they say it is. There is no doubt we have to find alternate sources of energy.

Fact - However, there is a school of thought to suggest that it may reverse dramatically into global cooling instead!

How is that going to happen? - Well as the polar ice caps melt by global warming several hundred cubic kilometres of fresh water is being released into the Northern Atlantic Ocean each year. This fresh water is slowly drifting south. When this fresh less dense water, eventually meets up with the Golf Stream bringing warm salty water from the equator, north, this salty and denser water, will become diluted, and as a consequence, will be at some point no longer dense enough to sink again in the north and return south. If this happens, the Gulf Stream current will be 'switched off'.

The amount of heat lost from the warm ocean currents coming north, will be far greater than that being currently produced by global warming.

Thus, certainly, the UK and much of northern Europe could potentially become much colder.

It is dire and it’s happening now
This is a one time deal

If we wait to see how bad it’s going to get, then it’s already too late
