I just wanted to know what the OT community thought of this issue. I personally fall in between 2 and 3... I think its quite important, but its seriously overblown by movies such as "The Day After Tommorow" and Al Gore (anybody catch the South Park reference :P )

Be sure to state your precise opinions in a post!

Global warming (now quietly referred to as global climate change since the whole "warming" bit didn't really take hold in recent times, lol) is not an issue man can effectively combat, nor did many play a significant role in its coming about. That being said, I see no reason not to pitch in a little here and there to help out. Sure, it's not going to prevent the apocalypse, but everyone should work to be proud of where they live, city, state, or world.

I care. This is a huge problem. Not only does it show that oil companys control our governments, but demonstrates the fact that the human race never deals with issues until its almost too late.

It has made me think a bit more about recycling and shutting off electrical devices that usually are on stand by. Saves some money too. :)

Global warning, if it continues like this, will be a disaster, I think. But it will happen in many years, if it really happens.

No. I care about getting the paycheck I deserve, feeding and raising my family, and putting them through college, helping them getting started in the professional world, and then retiring comfortably with my spouse...like most Americans. Starting a global panic and implementing a bunch of environmental taxes doesn't help with any of those. Scream at me if you wish.

Global warming? Oh yeah, that myth.

Global cooling is going to happen within the next 100 years, it's just a cycle the earth goes through. That's where I stand on the issue.

No.

I think it's a good idea to recycle and cut back reliance on fossil fuels and such, but more for innovation and conserving resources than anything else.

Global warming is a nice way to scare people into doing **bleep**, of course, and if it actually contributes to something good I can get behind it. So far it's only created a market for overpriced 'green' goods, which is kind of hilarious.

That would be because General Electric is drivng the whole panic thing. The more they can convince people to buy "green", the better off they are.

Of course I think we should do everything we can to not pollute and make our planet a pile of garbage. But the idiotic changes proposed by the dimb bulb environmentalists are retarded. manbearpig isn't going to kill us all, get over yourself Mr. Gore. You won an oscar and a nobel prize for your craptastic powerpoint "documentary" that was as believeable as the plot of "the day after tomorrow". Let it go al, let it go.

its been proven, and we should fix it. call me crazy, but ive sorda developed my own religion in worshiping nature, and i seriously think not addressing global warming is immoral as F***. even if humans dont get effected by it as fast as the rest of nature, thats still killing part of earth. the amazon a desert? do you have any idea how much that will mess up the world? and ice caps melting? yes, earth changes climate. but we are steroiding the process. anywhoo, luckily, now more than ever, its all over seeing people and companies trying to fight it. it gives me some hope.

Nope. Something thats going to happen in a thousand years. Seriously, if I cared, would others care too?

And the Earth is in a natural cycle of hot-cold. So naturally, we can be in either one of the cycle.

To some degree, but I really don't think it's at the top of the priority list of starving people in poor areas or people in war-torn states.

Yet for some reason those issues currently get comparitively little attention.

As long as the movie The Day After Tomorrow doesn't happen, I don't see any reason to panic.
