Should people be so worried about Global Warming?

November 5th, 2009

Should people be so worried about global warming? There seems to be so many people worried these days about temperature increase in the polar ice caps causing the water to rise in the oceans, but is it happening fast enough to be a major problem? I think that Global Warming is happening but it is not happening fast enough to be a major problem. Sure there are some things we can do to reduce our “Carbon Footprint” but I don’t think that we should have to go out of our way and do something extreme to help. I think that if we all do small thing like recycle our paper instead of throwing it away than nobody will have to complain that the temperature is going to rise and cause massive damage. according to the union of concerned scientists “Global warming is primarily a problem of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  This carbon overload is caused mainly when we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas or cut down and burn forests.”

Do you think that we aren’t doing enough to prevent global warming or are you one of the people that think that the world is fine?

    What most people don’t realize is global warming has been happening since nearly the beginning of time. The only reason we’re worrying about it now is because we know about it. If we didn’t know about we’d all go around living our lives in blissful ignorance.

    I think that the whole world is not doing enough to help prevent global warming i think that more recycling and saving energy will help too.

    Some people are making dramtic changes to help stop global warming but others seem to be getting worse. I think though that most people are trying to change.
