How much do you worry about global warming and it%26#039;s effects? After the warnings about the earth%26#039;s future in terms of what we have done/and are doing to the environment, have you made any changes in terms of the way you go about life to better the environment?

If so, what changes have you made to contribute to prevent global warming? eg. do you switch it off if your not using it?

What do you consider the worst culprit to the damage of our environment? eg. war/bombs etc, cars, airconditioners etc.
Anyone chosen to take public transport instead of driving a car?

Best Answer

Not much - the earth will heal it self naturally.

Oil and Gas is required 99% for our daily lives.

That plastic bottle, chair, folder, clock, plastic bag, plastic spoon, fake jewellery, shoes, super glue etc are all made from oil polymers.

I%26#039;d like to think the world will naturally heal itself with a bit of help from us (without going too extreme).

• I do not worry one bit.
  I would worry if any of the fabrications were in fact true and had anything to do with man.
  
  I am more concerned with real issues which man can improve and has some control over, not myths or scaremongering propaganda.
  
  The worst damage to our environment is pollution.
  Pollution only affects your local environment, and has no effect on weather or climate.
  
  Switching off appliances when not in use is a good habit for everyone to get into since it saves you money, and if more people were less wasteful, there would not be the need to build more power stations as soon.
  Again this only for financial considerations, and nothing more.
  
  There is nothing whatsoever that anyone could do to change the climate, but we should all be more environmentally friendly and remember that we are not the only or most important species on this planet.
  
  We should all learn to live with nature and not try to conquer it.
• I%26#039;m not worried about the effects of Global Warming, since I doubt they%26#039;ll be anywhere near as bad as scientists are predicting, due to too many factors that can%26#039;t be taken into consideration. So the only things I%26#039;ve done was buy reusable grocery bags, since I love trees! And I%26#039;ve always been conservative when it comes to electricity and water usage. I also feel I%26#039;ve done my time on public transportation, so even if I had a viable bus route to take, I wouldn%26#039;t take it, especially with all the violence and crimes that have been happening on a lot of the bus routes and bus stops here in the Minneapolis area. And downtown Minneapolis isn%26#039;t as safe to go to anymore and that%26#039;s a major hub when transferring from one bus to another bus.
• It%26#039;s a worry (one among many) but I don%26#039;t think we%26#039;ll all die out (the developed world has the resources for mitigation, the developing world OTOH...) nor that it%26#039;ll send us back to the stone age (despite the attempts of the Greens to force us back there).
  
  As for what is the biggest cause of global warming, the data clearly implicate electricity production from burning fossil fuels, since the green movement (not the environmental movement which has always been pro-nuclear) has opposed replacing fossil fuel burning for electricity production with uranium splitting so I think we can blame them for most of the current global warming (had the nuclear building programme not stopped we%26#039;d be well on track to solving it which we certainly are not even close to).
  
  It%26#039;s also important to recognise that individual actions can%26#039;t really do much (and the if everyone did line doesn%26#039;t work because not everyone will do it).
• I worry a ton. Everything adds up to we%26#039;re going to have major floods or little Ozone. Ozone blocks off UV Radiation. If there%26#039;s no Ozone, this energy would burn your skin, simply killing you. This is also why scientists don%26#039;t want a pulsar or supernova to close to Earth. These have almost all UV Radiation from the star that exploded, enough to overwhelm the Ozone for Days, maybe even weeks. Ozone also, like the Magnetic Field, protects us from Auroras, which do have this energy. However, we have enough Ozone to protect us in the moment, and instead of dangerous storms and sudden death, it ends up in a magnificent sight.
• Zero, Zip, zilch. I do not worry at all. It is a natural occurence in which we have no say. It%26#039;s the same as worrying about a meteor hitting the planet. Sure it can happen, but wee have no control, so why worry.
  
  I have adapted my behaviour some. I like to rev my car for no reason and open all the doors when the heat and air are on just to annoy the lefty loonies.
  
• not too much after watching that program the other night where a scientist and john howard were on. He reckons he has facts that the temperature hasnt increased in several years, yet pollution has gotten worse, so the two arent connected... Even still I dont think it would be doing us any good, and definately bombs are a major contributer for stuffing up the earth, I try to turn off my appliances when not in use
• it will always happen no matter what. there will be some ppl that will help the enviroment but in the end not EVERYONE will do it. theres no point just as long some people help out the enviroment. its life we have to save our precious moments. everything is life and there will be a judgement day one day in our lives.
