other people don't believe that this is true.. they think it's just a hype of paranoid environmentalists. i however, believe it's true. i'm no genius and i'm certainly not that conscious about the 'environment' but somehow the heat wave makes me believe in GW all the more...

There is no doubt in my mind, that the world is getting warmer. Every time I watch the Discovery Channel, I see a new show about the changes we are going through. If it is not Global Warming, then someone needs to make another theory..... :shock:

I think that the people who do not believe in global warming are the same people as those who do not believe the Holocaust ever happened!

Who knows what kind of happy little closed-off worlds these people live in!

they're just in denial or they just don't want to be bothered by reality so they make up their own world where 'unpleasant' things never happened

I just heard a local news bulliton says there will be a strong winter seasons coming within 3-5 years which may last about 50 years. so I think we are going to have some good seasons

I agree that it's happening, but don't know what the solution is... I mean, can we really tell India to stop burning natural resources and halt their economic boom?

A great problem such as GW has to have an initial step. For me the initial step is involvement. One has to empower herself/himself to participate. Even though one is small one can start an idea and eventually be actualized by a number of people. We can be involved by our own resolve and practice.

I saw this article on the net recently from http://library.thinkquest.org/C008050/antarctic4.html.

Preventing Global Warming
There are things that we as people in society can do to prevent further global warming. We can try to emit the least possible amounts of greenhouse gases. We can do this by carpooling, using more efficient cars or electrical cars, not purchasing aerosol products and by getting our air conditioners serviced annually. Another simple way to help is to turn off electrical appliances when they are not being use. This will reduce the amount of electricity being consumed and allow power plants to reduce the amount of fossil fuels being burned. The burning of fossil fuels release enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Plants, on the other hand, use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis so the more plants and trees we plant, the less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. One acre of lawn removes one ton of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and other air pollutants in one year. The problem is that many rainforests are being razed to make way for cattle grazing and cows are one of the largest sources of methane. Other forests are being burned down (which by itself creates more carbon dioxide) to make room for the increasing population. We must control the population explosion as well to prevent more global warming. The more aware every individual is, the more will be contributed to stopping the increase of global warming. If we try to reduce the greenhouse gases being emitted, we can save Antarctica and prevent other disasters and changes of temperature that will affect the coastal regions and the rest of the environment.

Last year, I have volunteered to donate a few peso bills monthy from my pocket to Greenpeace and hopefully volunteer in an event soon.

To volunteer is the necessary imperative for us. A resolve is an untapped power these days.

I asked a non believer about why she don't believe it and she said because it's being pushed in her face and it makes it hard to believe. I'm sorry if that makes no sense, I didn't want to get into a deep discussion with her. I didn't want to get her mad or cranky with me. LOL... This person is a friend of my wife's.

I beleive in GW as it is a true and not hidden i have observed many area like south asian countries the summer season a prolongs no and the winter season has a short fall
