Are you concerned about global warming ?

There's no way our generation will live on Mars. It's not even likely that our generation will live on the moon or in space colonies. Maybe the generation after the next one will live in space, but that's still unlikely.My money is one generations 3-5.
So we die (gen 0)
our kids die (gen 1)
our gran kids die (gen 2)
and then our great gran kids (gen 3) finally get off their asses and maybe get something done.

Global Warming is serious and there is a lot of ways to "slow it down" but i really don't see how we could ever end this problem without making it worse.

I am kinda disappointed to see a number of posts going along the lines of "The world is going to end someday, so why bother?"
Although the actions of one may not have a significant effect on saving our Earth, the collective actions of many could possibly bring about changes. Some of the things I do in my everyday life which could improve the environmental situation includes not using plastic bags when purchasing items, cutting down on electricity usage (I live in the equatorial region, but I choose not to have an air-conditioner installed at home), etc.
I would think many species of plants and animals are taken for granted. Climate change could result in their extinction. The same concept can be applied to Fakku. If we do not come up with suggestions to improve the site or community, then one day, it could possibly disappear, sooner rather than later.

Well concerning the subject of climate change, I am a big advocate of energy alternatives. I know that Hawaii is already trying to start the concept of electric cars and recharge stations that will be placed around the islands. Hopefully the American car makers will grasp this concept. Since the US is the biggest country that relies on automotive transportation, this will decrease the amount of carbon monoxide to be released into the atmosphere. I usually ride my bike or walk to my school campus, but I do have a car w/c I use only for trips going back home.

Public transportation sucks and isn't available unless you're in a big city, and there's usually too much distance between places to walk or ride a bike.
When I was going to college, if I wanted to ride a bike there, it'd probably take me two hours (at least) to get to class. That is, if I survived on the road and wasn't struck down by a car.
My ideal place to live is somewhere with sidewalks and everything close enough that I could walk to it within two hours. I doubt I'll ever find a place like that in America, unless I move to some boring little town in the Midwest.

Im not at all concerned about it!
The Chinese dont give a monkeys and Americans (Really deep down) dont give a damn but hey... If our governments want to raise more taxes to screw over the working man because of a general fear that maybe somethings not right with the world and disaster could be nearish, kind of, maybe in the future... Who the heck am I to complain?
Save the Polar Bear because its furry... Ummmmm yeah!!!

Personally im not too worried bout it, with other direct threats out there like swine flu, terrorism, gangwars, school tests. Im not too worried bout something thats gonna come in a hundred years time. Though i would be worried when the pacific ocean starts to rise above my waist and my house suddenly becomes a beach house.
Mu motto is screw it lets our grandkids worry bout it.

Its the sun i tell you! No really it is.This is correct. Recent NASA studies show that the oceans have cooled down after the sun has reached peak activity in 2005... I also don't see why the scientists blame it on human activity since the warming started happening BEFORE the industrial revolution...

But yeah, the point is, it's not global warming that's gonna kill us...

Global worming is said and done with don't worry about it it should all settle with time and if it doesn't, it won't be really bad until this and the next generation are all dead and gone.

Yes. This is the only place we've got, and we don't want this planet busted.
I mean, Venus is too hot, Mars is too cold, and everywhere else is too far away.
And there's no oxygen on other planets.
So... this is our only home.
