As I was reading this I started to think about how many years until “global warming” changes our lifestyle in a SIGNIFICANT way. In my opinion the conflict that is happening all around the world (North Korea, MiddleEast, etc) is alot more frightening.

Global warming is happening… I think the dispute is with the cause of it. Is it a million year natural cycle? Is it man made?

Either way, there is no excuse for man to keep harming the environment. One thing is for certain, however; even if we DO harm the environment, it’s effects definitely won’t be long lasting. If it boils down to a worst case scenario, it will be us humans to die off… Earth will still continue to thrive, whether it’s bacteria, or a new form of life millions of years from now.

With that said, global warming will actually COOL the Midwest and Northeastern states, not warm them. This is because glacial ice water will cool the Atlantic ocean, and in turn cut off the warm Gulf Stream.

What do you mean “regardless of whether or not you believe in ‘the crisis of global warming’”?

One of the problems with this issue is the way it’s framed. People talk about global warming as if there is actually a scientific debate over its presence. There is not, and we should not talk as if there is.
