“When we allow science to become political then we are lost. We will enter the internet version of the Dark Ages, an era of stifling fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don’t know any better"
Michael Crichton
No, hardly anyone (and no one with any knowledge on the subject) is saying global warning is gonna kill us all and doomsday is near. In 100+ years life will be a bit more difficult in 3rd world countries.
Be worried if the climate "doesn't" change.

" ... The case for natural climate change I also present an analysis of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation which shows that most climate change might well be the result of….the climate system itself! Because small, chaotic fluctuations in atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems can cause small changes in global average cloudiness, this is all that is necessary to cause climate change. You don’t need the sun, or any other ‘external’ influence (although these are also possible…but for now I’ll let others work on that). It is simply what the climate system does. This is actually quite easy for meteorologists to believe, since we understand how complex weather processes are. Your local TV meteorologist is probably a closet ‘skeptic’ regarding mankind’s influence on climate.
Climate change ― it happens, with or without our help. ... "
*****On 19 April 1879, the most severe drought in 30 years struck Dallas, Texas in the United States. On many plantations, the wheat was not more than one foot high and is heading out. There were fears of a famine in corn and oats. The high and dry winds that prevailed for three weeks was still blowing, with no moisture in the air and not a cloud to be seen in the heavens. The drought covers all that portion of Texas
*****The deadliest drought in recorded history occurred in China over the 4 years period from 1876 to 1879. Rivers were so dry that most crops and livestock died. There was no food production in a 390 thousand square mile (1-million square kilometer) area of nine provinces. The drought led to the death of an estimated nine million people.
*****Six-million out of the population of 56 million in northern China starved to death in 1877.
*****(This has nothing to do with man-made climate change, but is presented to show that the climate cannot be controlled by any science technique nor has the climate been change by any super CO2 changes. The climate changes and we can never stop it or cause it.)
a lot of the answer to this depends on where you live.
some small islands are going to be completely underwater before 2050. If you live in the hills ( such as the Appalachians or the rocky Mountains, the weather will change, probably becoming more extreme, but life, human life will continue. Ocean life may change a lot.
Hi Alex.
There is no need to be scared. this weather has happened many times before, and has nothing to do with so called global warming, in fact global warming would make the weather less extreme, because what weather is, is the difference between hot and cold, between hot or cold land/sea and the atmosphere, between the hot tropics and the cold polar regions, making the air flow from the hot to the cold and making winds blow and rain and snow fall.
If we had warming the polar regions would warm up more than the tropics (because the tropics are kept cool by thunderstorms) so a warm Arctic and a not so warm equator would mean less hurricanes and less storms.
you don't have to be smart to be educated. Keep in school and study hard. Climate is not going to kill everyone. Do you really think 7,000,000,000 people will die?
the day after tomorrow was a movie. you'd be better spending time in school
Only some of us will die, but you can't make an omlet without cracking a few eggs. Deniers will eventually be pushed out of society and we will build utopian cities or human habitats where our impact on the planet will be minimized, and nature can get back to its perfect state.
/sarcasm off
Ask not from whom the troll bells, but do your school homework. The world is not going to end due to climate change or anything else. Human-caused climate change is REAL despite what anti-science liars and con artists will try to tell you on the internet, however.
U.S. National Academy of Sciences, 2010:

“Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems.”
http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpine...
“Choices made now about carbon dioxide emissions reductions will affect climate change impacts experienced not just over the next few decades but also in coming centuries and millennia…Because CO2 in the atmosphere is long lived, it can effectively lock the Earth and future generations into a range of impacts, some of which could become very severe.”
“The Academy membership is composed of approximately 2,100 members and 380 foreign associates, of whom nearly 200 have won Nobel Prizes. Members and foreign associates of the Academy are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research; election to the Academy is considered one of the highest honors that can be accorded a scientist or engineer.”

Hi Alex, When grown ups want to control children and make them behave as they wish, they tell stories of the Bogey man. Well climate change and AGW are just another Bogeyman. Sleep tight.
Yeah, absolutely right, as it is happening in America like movie "A day after Tomorrow". Approx same as the movie. But its all happening because of human. Human ruined the natural things and has to suffer from such kind of hazards.
Im only a kid im not the smartest in everything im pretty uneducated in weather but i hear everyone saying that the climate and global warning is gonna kill us all and doomsday is near and its like a day after tommorow scenario and stuff im kinda aware that climate change is normal but i wanna at least grow up and live my own life????
Yes, it poses a real danger. Many feel we've already gone too far, and the extreme weather changes we're seeing now are the result of climate change. Are we going to die tomorrow? No. But climate change threatens the world's food supplies, and that is just the beginning.
"The way I see it, so-called “global warming” is just a secret ploy by wacko tree huggers to make America energy independent, clean our air and water, improve the fuel efficiency of our vehicles, kick-start 21st century industries, and make our cities safer and more livable. Don’t let them get away with it!" ~ Chip Giller, Founder of Grist.org

NASA: The Difference between Climate & Weather
Dang it Ian... I was gonna say that.
Its the same mantra, give me all of your money, surrender all your freedoms to me and I will make everything ok.....
mwehahahaha!!!!
Don't worry so much. Man can do nothing to destroy the Earth. Do you think an all powerful God would make something so flimsy that man could destroy it. The God that I know is smarter and more powerful than that.
Eccl. 1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. KJV
We have his promise that no one is going to destroy the earth.
Now why would someone say that the earth is dangerously close to being destroyed?
"Fear is the most debilitating of all human emotions. A fearful person will do anything, say anything, accept anything, reject anything, if it makes him feel more secure for his own, his family's or his country's security and safety, whether it actually accomplishes it or not...."
"It works like a charm. A fearful people are the easiest to govern. Their freedom and liberty can be taken away, and they can be convinced to believe that it was done for their own good - to give them security. They can be convinced to give up their liberty - voluntarily."
―Gene E. Franchini, retired Chief Justice of the New Mexico Supreme Court
You see? You can be manipulated easier if you are afraid.
There is nothing scientific about Man Made Global Warming. Even the proponents agree with this.
Quote by Christine Stewart, former Canadian Environment Minister: “No matter if the science is all phoney, there are collateral environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”
Translated that means, "We don't care if there is any science to our claims. this is a means of scaring people into giving up their freedoms and bowing down to our tyrannical policies."
Don't be scared by these snake oil salesmen and con artists. Be more afraid of political atrocities than nature.
Here is what a real scientist has to say on the issue.
Quote by Will Happer, Princeton University physicist, former Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy: “I had the privilege of being fired by Al Gore, since I refused to go along with his alarmism....I have spent a long research career studying physics that is closely related to the greenhouse effect....Fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science. The earth's climate is changing now, as it always has. There is no evidence that the changes differ in any qualitative way from those of the past.”
So don't listen to those who tell you this near record cold spell is caused by HEAT. Don't listen to those who tell you we can cure this Global Warming by raising your taxes. HUH? Does that really make any sense? But it does show their clear intentions. Doesn't it? They even admit it outright.
Quote by Ottmar Edenhoffer, high level UN-IPCC official: "We redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy...Basically it's a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization...One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore."
So you see, it has almost nothing to do with science but is a big scam to scare you into doing anything the powers want you to do.
The formula is an old one. The writer of this is long gone but he could see what these politicians are up to even to this date.
Quotes by H.L. Mencken, famous columnist: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed ― and hence clamorous to be led to safety ― by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." And, "The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it."
Sleep tight and don't worry about nature. Most of the time it is your friend.
Troll smarter, not harder.
Watch these kid and don't worry about it anymore.
Top climate scientists say there is no man-made Global Warming.
The Great Global Warming Swindle
global warming is entirely fake. it really does not exist. you really don't need to worry :)
Yes. You should immediately give me all your money since you aren't going to need it any more.
