Opinion on Global Warming

[margypops]

I have been wondering what is really happening to our climate we hear all this information from Gore and many TV programmes about the fact we (Humans) are to blame for the Gobal warming, yet there are many nay sayers, I believed it after seeing Gores film, but now I am not so sure, what are your views on it .

I know that many of you may not like what I have to say.  But, fortunately, I have the right to free speech.  There is only one that can change the climate; God.  He is the only one that will decide the fate of the climate and world we live in.  He made everything and everyone in this world and can take it from us in an instant.

I do think that we all have a responsibility to take care of this earth that was created for us.  I am a true believer in green technology and products.  I clean my residential homes only with Green cleaning products.  I feel that most chemicals are not safe for humans or the environment.  I also feel that we need to have different fuel alternatives.  Wind is a natural resource that can be used many different ways.  We need to change the foods that we eat as well.  We put too many pesticides and other unnatural ingredients into out foods and this causes too many health problems.  

See, people are responsible for what happens in this world and what happens to it.  God made us and our sins.  So this is what causes all of the problems that we have and will continue to have.  I also respect your opinion about Global Warming.  I just think that too many people make up these sort of things for publicity, money and political agendas.

  Yes I tend to agree with you because although there are shifts in ocean currents (el nino, la nina) and over time extreme catastrophic climate change (as may have lead to evolutionary periods of extinction) there have been some extreme changes in the climate pattern that do not bear out with any standard shifts in climatic patterns. To put it simply I have never heard of tornadoes in N.Y.C. and when that happenned two years in a row and add the West Nile Virus which was caused by an extremely warn summer. As well as winters with extreme thunderstorms. Need not go on..
The question is what is a practical way to develop solutions to standard sources of fossil fuel without burdening the average taxpayer. Frankly, I believe if America developed new sources of fuel and had no dependence on foreign oil the power and influence of some of the dictatorships we are defending our country from in the mideast or their allies might come to an end.

I think it is Revalations unfolding.  Setting up the stage if you will. All that is happening has already been foretold. Nothing we do or dont do will change it. IMO,

I thought it would be a mixture of both I see that most think the same by the Poll.I agree it is good that even we arent only the culprits and a lot is the Natural cycle it is good that we are starting to take more care.Mind you one thing kinds of rankles, I dutifully recycle into my 3 trash cans only to hear that in my area of CA that it is all being thrown into the landfill and that the plant here isnt doing to recycling as companies are closing down,who take it.

Here is a website with the facts. It gives information on past climate change and recent climate change, as well as the health and environmental impact that global warming is and/or could have.

Rather than take a guess, I'm going to turn to the experts. I do know that humans are pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than plants and oceans can absorb it.
