PREVENTING GLOBAL WARMING

Many don't realize this but preventing Global Warming is not impossible and it is not too late. There are many areas in which you all can help! Global Warming right now is a number one concern because of it's pace and furiosity. ------------------- THE BEST SCIENTISTS IN THE WORLD HAVE MET IN FRANCE AND CONCLUDED THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS NOW INEVITABLE.
The Good news is that even though we can't completely stop it anymore we can slow it down to where eventually the outcome disasters won't be as chaotic! There are still millions of people that do not believe in Global Warming. To add to this there are still people that don't believe that this is mostly a man-made problem. People, you have to wake up because this is a man-made problem. The climate change sure was already happening but we are pushing it even more.
It is confirmed that if we keep going the way we are, by the next century the climate will change so much to where half of the species on earth will be extinct! This global climate change is serious and we need to fight it! We need everyone to know this is happening that way everyone could work together to fight it!
SCIENTIFIC FACTS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING: curtesy of "www.fightglobalwarming.com"
Scientists are not confused, debating, or picking sides on the basic factso of global warming.
The most respected scientific organizations have stated that global warming is happening, and people are causing it by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. It is no longer a mystery of why it's happening or if it is. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which in 2005 the White House called "the gold standard of objective scientific assessment," issued a joint statement with 10 other National Academies of Science saying "the scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify nations taking prompt action
The only debate in the science community about global warming is about how much and how fast warming will continue as a result of our actions. In the case of global warming, scientists have given a clear warning, and we have more than enough facts to act on. It is now a matter of us to let as many people know about as we can!
The global warming that is happening is not normal. People are causing it by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. Scientists have shown that these activities are pumping far more carbon dioxide (C02) into the atmosphere than was ever released in hundreds of thousands of years. This buildup of CO2 is the biggest cause of global warming. (IPCC 2001) Since 1895, scientists have known that CO2 and other greenhouse gases trap heat and warm the earth. As the warming has intensified over the past three decades, scientific scrutiny has increased along with it. Scientists have considered and ruled out other natural explanations such as sunlight, volcanic eruptions and cosmic rays.
Though natural amounts of CO2 vary from 180 to 300 parts per million (ppm), today's CO2 levels are around 380 ppm. That's 25% more than the highest natural levels, looking back 650,000 years. Increased CO2 levels have corresponded with higher average temperatures throughout that long record. (Boden, Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center)
Individual civilizations have collapsed from dramatic climatic shifts for thousands of years. Although humans as a whole have survived the vagaries of drought, ice ages and more, not every society has. What's more, unless we limit the amount of heat-trapping gases we are putting into the atmosphere, we will face a warming trend unseen since human civilization began 10,000 years ago.
The consequences of continued warming at current rates are likely to be dire. Many densely populated areas, such as low-lying coastal regions, are highly vulnerable to climate shifts. A middle-of-the-range projection is that the homes of 13 to 88 million people around the world would be flooded by the sea each year in the 2080s. Poorer countries and small island nations will have the hardest time adapting. (McLean et al. 2001) In what appears to be the first forced move resulting from climate change, 100 residents of Tegua island in the Pacific Ocean were evacuated by the government because rising sea levels were flooding their island. Some 2,000 other islanders plan a similar move to escape rising waters.
Scarcity of water and food could lead to major conflicts with broad ripple effects throughout the globe. Even if people find a way to adapt, the wildlife and plants on which we depend may be unable to adapt to rapid climate change. While the world itself will not end, the world as we know it may disappear.
