As Global Warming Continues

Global Warming IS a threat and it WILL happen, it will surely kill thousands of people living on the edge right now, and many more unless we adapt ourselves quick enough. The Misconseption is Global warming is a natural thing it would even get warmer if we would exume any greenhouse gas at all (wich would kill us cause we breath oout CO2), it would still get warmer. we could only make it more worse then it will get. But rest assured it will get alot colder for the generations beyond that

Prove it!

Also I hope you've done your homework, not just watched "An Inconvenient Truth".

i don't do homework, but "climate change" is actually the cyclus between glacials (ice ages) and interglacials (hot periods) Currently were moving to a warmer period. (the medieval age was actually a small ice age and theres nothing we can do about it. climate changes usually take 1000 to 10.000 or 100.000 years. so we should have plenty of time to adapt unless we become ignorant. The whole greenhouse gasses thing would only make it 10-15% worse (wich IS alot worse then it seems especiialy to already fragile envoriments)

When Al Gore dies, he can take with him one knowledge to the grave, he has succeeded with one thing... and that is to scare the shit out of millions of people, sure Global Warming may be a threat, it may also not be a threat. I have not yet made up my mind on this subject, what I do know however is that the path to a healthier environment will bring many other good things, for example if people stopped using cars as much, that would probably lead to people gaining more exercise, if we stop consuming as much as we do, there will be more for the less fortunate to get. But in itself, I do not know if Global Warming is something that we need to do something about, after all i've seen both evidence trying to confirm it and other evidence trying to tell us that it isn't happening.

Well, global threat could be a trouble in certain aspect. With the melt of those ice, it could eventually cause the sea water to raise. The progress might be slow, but if we did not do any action regarding about it. It might eventually sunk all those island which could give a great benefict to us human. This is because some island could prove to be vital in certain aspect.

And precaution is better than cure, try imagine what could we do to all those land if the water level does not raise.

Rising waters are the lesser of problems, the most major will be a failing ecosystem causing failed harvests and a lack of food.

In 1000 years, we would be on Mars... Does it matter whether this process has to be glamorized since it has most likely happened many times before?

If the ice poles melted, the water level wouldn't go much higher, sure florida might be under water since its practially at sea level with the highest terrain reaching 10 feet higher than sea level.

Having a advanced technology is partically useless even we could be at Mars. If we cannot take care our own Earth, could we take care Mars as well ?

Deja vu would obviously happen.

Rising water level and the booming population of the human could cause a serial of trouble, is no wonder the price of land could increase drastically as well.

You'd be surprised how much water comes from the southpiole and greenland. were talking about 10 meters not 10 feet. and while it might not sounds spectacular.. Almost 75% of the world population lives near the coast or rivers.

And it might sounds strange.. but the global warming will more likely freeze then scorch us. heres the deal:

Ever thought about europe being so much warmer then canada wich is at the same latitude?
Well thats because of the gulfstream(they call it different), it carries warm water from the equator to the northpole on the europe side. when the warm water gets enar the poles it cools and because could water is denser it sinks and then gets drawn back to the equator by the america side of the atlantic.

HOWEVER!:
a mass melting of the polar caps means we get alot of non-salt water in the seas, the problem is: non-salt water is lighter then salt water, wich means it will stay on top of the salt water. clogging up the gulfstream. What happens next is that the warm waters from the equator won't reach europe resulting in a drastic temperature drop of upto 10-15 degrees wich basicly means well get another ice age instead of a warm period and the issue is: its happening right now.
