I'd suggest you respond to each reply you receive or you will never make much money. ---- I believe that experts exaggerate the share mankind has in the global warming story. It's well known that there have been serious extremely cold and warm periods in the past in which mankind wasn't to blame. So why would we be fully to blame now?

Thanks to remind me but i actually no interest on my payment here, fyi. I think we blame ourselves because of what it bad effect causes to our ecosystem. Hopefully their is a way to turn this around.

We are all afraid to meet the dark future that looms ahead. It's quite sad to realized that we are all preoccupied with each of our own problems while the greater problems are left untouch. The world is changing...maybe extinction is not too far a distance. God help us.I'm scared too...you are not alone.

Global warming is just a hoax to allow for a new tax under the Cap and Trade bill they're trying to pass.

Definitely not the end of the world, and definitely not scared. Every year there are disasters and weird climate shifts. They just get covered in the news more often than they did 10 years ago. Also, we're actually beginning a period of global cooling. Again. In the 70s, everyone was terrified about the global cooling. Now we're terrified about global warming. I'm fairly sure we're going to be terrified about global cooling again. It's a cycle. It happens. Heck, we're lucky we're in an ice age. It was also a LOT warmer than this in the year 800, in the Viking Era. Part of the Vikings wide ranging settlement and success was to the warming of the waters and the recession of polar ice. (Advanced cooling eventually drove Viking settlers out of Greenland.) Enough archaeology and oceanography classes take away your fear about global warming and cooling. It's just how the world fluctuates. It's normal. Man, I've seen the numbers over the last several thousand years. Do we have a hand in it? Probably, but to be honest, we are severely pompous about our effect on the world. No one in the year 800 had industrial technology, and the world was way hotter. The Earth is huge, strong, and self-generating; yet we seem to think that this thing that's been around longer than we have is somehow so fragile that some car exhaust is going to shatter it irreparably. Don't get me wrong. I think we should be very environmentally conscious; there's always room for improvement there. But I honestly don't think we're in much danger here.

Maybe its not the end of the world but would you be surprise if this is end of the humanity. People believe in different ways and i believe it time for a huge change again. Hopefully everything will be in place when this changes comes to us. Godbless us.

How about flooding? Ice on north and south pole will melt and a huge change on bodies of our water will rise up and we might eaten by this ocean.

Read Matthew chapter 24...The generation that sees the Jews back in Israel will see the second coming. People say these sort of things have been happening since time began...and they are right. BUT we are the generation that witnessed the return of the Jew to the HOLY LAND. Yes, it is scarey, only if you don't know the LORD.

Well your prediction might just happen if many people would ignore what is happening in our world and would just be greedy and continue on destroying our environment. I think we are realy making our environment really go to destroying itself because we put so many things that deteriorate the environment we live in.

Well I don't really know if global warming is true, because recently NASA have just admitted their errors in global warming data.. if i'm not mistaken, they said that the "global warming" is just the result of solar activity.. people have experienced extreme global warming in the old days and based on the results, there are patterns to sun's activity.. the theories of scientists may be true, but we really can't tell which one really is. personally, i'm deeply troubled by the theories of the experts and i really fear that it might be indeed true.. i don't close the possibility that it is, and whichever is, we got nothing to lose if we just do our duties to our environment. i repeatedly tell this to discussions about global warming.. the Bible tells us that the Earth is created for us to enjoy and not to abuse.. and God says we are caretakers of the Earth.. meaning, the Earth is not ours, and we are given the responsibility to take care of it. =D saving our planet not just frees us from devastating calamities or sickness.. it also gives us eternal rewards in heaven =D so if we neglect our jobs, not only it harms lives but the eternal consequences are great.

End of the world due to global warming is not going to happen; there is nothing to fear of your own shadow. Chances is climate getting warmer every decade n intensity of natural disaster is higher if the polluters continue to increase or emit greenhouse gas at present rate for another decade or so, by then, the breaking point is reached , then mankind will be killed by the effect of environmental polluters, since now UN is aware of this phenomena, steps will be taken in the future. We are much more likely kill by highway accident, drive by shooting, or a nuclear warfare between countries in the next decade than by global warming , my friend.

I am not that pessimistick but I am very angry. I don't think it has to go on this way . There are ways that everyone can help. The "go green" is catching on for a reason. People are waking up to what we as a species are doing to our home. If you are Christian, then yes it is the "end times".however, God gave us a way to "choose" to save ourselves. If your not , then whatever your spirituality there are similar quidliness built in. I am very angry because if people had woke up 30 years ago when we were trying to make people aware of what was coming, we wouldn't be in this position now. The greed and need to be a superpower, and have to have more than the neighbor mentality. Even the car companies had the technology 30 years ago to do what they are being made to do now. They could have prevented this whole meltdown. But we as a culture had to have bigger, more powerful, flahier automobiles etc., And now here we are. Greed did as much to cause this situation as any one thing.
