Climate Change does it Affect You or Not

Unfortunately, it is the same story almost everywhere. We have become that way, and nothing except us and our needs, our fun and our vested interests seem to bother us. If anyone tries to point out what we lack, we get hurt, start blaming and doing whatever we can but anything constructive. I tried talking and convincing two people in our locality that cutting off the trees is not a great idea. But they will never listen. Then came the day when they started felling trees in the name of "Modernization, expansion of roads" and what not. end result, today there are no trees on the main road which is the busiest Highway in the state. We are all headed to doomsday, sometime or the other, nature will be furious and we need not go to wait till eternity for that to happen, the changing climate , unexpected rains, typhoons are all examples of what is ahead.

It is a tough subject Marcy for me. I believe there are things we can do to help our environment, but in the end with the climate, it truly is going to do what it is going to do. However, I do believe also they are intertwined. The Prez has said that he believes it is nearly too late to do anything about climate change. I do feel that way too much money may be being spent on this, something that may be too late too.

Not me..I believe in climate change and know we are in for some major flooding allover..loss of certain animals too

Climate change has had a bad effect on our trees. They yield at the wrong time

I agree that climate change will eventually all of us. Some are already experiencing it now.

The effects of climate change are now affecting everyone.We can now see increase drought and acidic rain falling.The weather patterns have changed and flooding is almost everywhere.

Climate has always been in a state of change, and we will reap what we sow. I have always done what I can not to waste things and to recycle. I plant trees and plants each time I move to a new property. I support agencies that support sustainable agriculture. It is my little corner of the world and I want to take care of it.

Not really.... the thing about climate change is that humans have not been around as long as some people would like to believe. We have not lived long enough as a life form to know everything about cycles. Everything cycles. We also have learned most of what we know in a relatively short time, added to by the explosion of technology in the past decade or two. Prior to that, we didn't have even a 10th of information about anything we have now. All I see are people becoming increasingly paranoid about things that nobody has any control over. Paranoia when you can do nothing is a ridiculous waste of your time, energy, and life.

climate change has been a reality for many years. Weather is just extreme - the cold countries experience worse weather and the hot countries (like mine) get warmer. And of course we can do something about it. We can stop destroying our planet and take steps to DELAY the process.we can protect our watersheds and plant trees and stop carbon emissions. Stop the oil dependence and in our case use more solar.. We have had our hottest day today at 95 F. Water must be stored underground and not in dams etc because of water evaporation. If the world made a concentrated effort we could save our planet.

Climate change is real. And I do believe that all the damage we have done to this planet is accelerating it. We do need to stop using those fossil fuels. And yes, we do need better education and more jobs and ultimately, free healthcare. That's what we should have gotten. But climate change will affect all of us on one way or another.

I don't believe in climate change because the really cold winters and hot summers that they say are a part of it,,, I believe weather goes in cycles through out the centuries. Some winters are colder than others.

Climate Change over the long term always has and always will occur. The geological and meteorological record shows that sometimes it is gradual but at times it has been abrupt. The question now is, how much is human activity accelerating climate change and what can we do to slow it down.

I think that there are things we can do to save the planet, but there is not much we can do to get rid of all those plastic produced every day. Everything is wrapped in plastic, our drinks are stored in plastic bottles... we can do nothing against this.

People are very indifferent towards the climatic change. Their selfish motives of earning money and materialistic thinking is sabotaging our nature. They may be called , " educated fools" , who in spite of knowing everything do not realize that this money cannot buy them food, water and oxygen - basic necessities for human survival..!!!! It is high time to act responsible else the results could be drastic, whose trailers can be seen nowadays in every part of the world.

yeah, i felt it a few hours ago when we were walking under extreme heat The storms have become unpredictable and even stronger too

Right, because those last ones are 'the Kingdom of God' that we are to seek first. Finding and ensuring those things, all the other things will fall into place.

It is true that we have no control over it. It has changed in my lifetime.

Unless something urgent is done,then the world is being prepared to be ruined by natural disasters.

I'm sorry to tell you this, guys, but we are too late. A lot too late! So we can only hope that we'll live a good life, and try to stop the climate changing as much as possible.
