What do you think about the global warming?

I wanna know your opinion on it. The governments should worry and find some idea for a global cooperation?

Please tell me all what you think, thanks.

The primary issue is not the scientific theory itself, but the outcome(s) and that uncertainty in and of itself is a bottleneck. Until we get a better idea of the outcome-the significance of mankind's impact on climate and the timing-we aren't going to see a whole lot of action directly related to mitigating global warming. The only thing that could galvanize us collectively to action would be dramatic events that cannot be explained away and people accepting that mankind is responsible for influencing them. Some would say that is already taking place, but until there is a clear and dominant demand by the majority of the population for action specifically to combat AGW individual governments are going to try to flank it with policies that have multiple benefits to manage the risk of taking action better. For example, improving the electrical grid in the U.S. as part of the alternative energy infrastructure project. Whether we ultimately use solar, wind or nuclear energy it is going to have to hook up with a network capable of managing it. Same thing is true of biofuels-corn-based ethanol might not be the best option by any stretch of the imagination, but other biofuels-like algae or other non-food products-would use much of the same production infrastructure.

So in many cases, the investment we're making now, much of which can take 20 or 30 years to construct and bring on line, will be needed regardless of the source of energy we end up using-even if it still uses fossil fuels. On the other hand, if we can decrease our dependence on fossil fuels, we decrease our reliance on military intervention to maintain our supplies due to growing global competition.

Risk Management.

When one or the other happen-compelling evidence of one sort or another-then the problem still remains insofar as getting governments to come to developing a real plan of action and a cohesive agreement, then implementing it. So we could be another 20 years out on that alone before real cooperation develops and is in place. Combine that with another 20 or thirty years of research and development of energy production and infrastructure as the population dithers over it, and we might be very deep into the 21st Century before the outcome is known, either in terms of mankind's true impact on climate or what we should do about it. Anybody who is absolutely convinced one way or the other right now is blowing smoke. So to speak. Haha. We can't afford to ignore the issue, but neither can we afford to go off half-****** with some nebulous plan and try to get the entire world to go along with it.

A lot of people find that time line daunting, but I really don't...knowledge gained over that period of time and the development of technology could make a huge difference-we've seen it happen many times in the past. I'm optimistic in that regard.

It is big problem of global warming. It is going to change weather day by day.It is big problem for the future and the humanity.

I think that the global warming is a big problem in the world because the future of the world and the humanity depend of it.

I dont believe any warming is happening, but if it did the only worry is rising sea level and engineering can take care of that, during the holocene optimum temperatures were 4 degrees higher than now and life thrived.

Global cooperation is a pipe dream IMO. Most countries do not have representative governments. They have a governments that treat their citizens like they are pawns or worse, pretty much like what alarmists would like to see done for the US.

And what to do with those who don't feel like cooperating?

Internment camps?

based on historical evidence I believe there are more benefits to a warming world than a cooling world.

'Ten Personal Solutions to Global Warming

The routine decisions that shape our days ― what to have for dinner, where to shop, how to get to work ― may seem small, but collectively they have a big effect on global warming.'

The car you drive: the most important personal climate decision.

Make your house more air tight.

Buy and USE a programmable thermostat.

Eat less meat, especially beef.

Use power strips in your home office and home entertainment center.

Upgrade your refrigerator and air conditioner, especially if they are more than five years old.

Get an electricity monitor.

Change those light bulbs.

Wash clothes in cold water.

Buy less stuff.

Let policy makers know you are concerned about global warming. Our elected officials and business leaders need to hear from concerned citizens. Sign up for the Union of Concerned Scientists Action Network to ensure that policymakers get the timely, accurate information they need to make informed decisions about global warming solutions.

Spread the word. -If all Americans reduced their emissions by 20% we could shutter 200 of the nation’s 600 coal plants, a great step in fighting the worst consequences of climate change.'

'Adapting to changes already underway: As the Climate Hot Map demonstrates, the impacts of a warming world are already being felt by people around the globe. If climate change continues unchecked, these impacts are almost certain to get worse. From sea level rise to heat waves, from extreme weather to disease outbreaks, each unique challenge requires locally-suitable solutions to prepare for and respond to the impacts of global warming. Unfortunately, those who will be hit hardest and first by the impacts of a changing climate are likely to be the poor and vulnerable, especially those in the least developed countries. Developed countries must take a leadership role in providing financial and technical help for adaptation.'

'Solar power, which is usually generated by solar panels or a solar tower

Wind power, which is usually generated by groups of wind turbines

Biomass energy, which is derived from "lumber mill wastes, urban wood waste, forest and agricultural residues and other feed stocks" as well as waste from factories and landfills.

Geothermal energy, which is derived from steam and hot water found deep beneath the Earths surface

Reckon yes, global warming is taking place. Tree rings, ice Core samples, proved that fact some years ago. The freak unpredictable weather being experienced now ie droughts, flooding is just a foretaste of things too come. No chance of government cooperation, until the public kick them into action. The rich are too busy denying there is global warming. And they own government. All that lobbying, to forestall any action whatsoever.

Maybe they got a one way ticket on a space rocket, to escape the mess on earth.

'Reduce Emissions

In order to effectively address global warming, we must significantly reduce the amount of heat-trapping emissions we are putting into the atmosphere.

As individuals, we can help by taking action to reduce our personal carbon emissions. But to fully address the threat of global warming, we must demand action from our elected leaders to support and implement a comprehensive set of climate solutions.

Learn more: Global Warming Solutions:

Reduce Emissions-Stop Deforestation-Tropical deforestation accounts for about 10% of the world’s heat-trapping emissions ― equivalent to the annual tailpipe emissions of 600 million average U.S. cars.

Reducing tropical deforestation can significantly lower global warming emissions and ― together with efforts to reduce emissions from fossil fuels ― plays an integral role in a comprehensive long-term solution to global warming. Learn more: Global Warming Solutions: Stop Deforestation.

Pepare for Impacts

Certain consequences of global warming are now inevitable, including sea level rise, more frequent and severe heat waves, growing wildfire risks, and an increase in extreme weather events.

These were once largely preventable, but foot-dragging by our leaders and policy makers over the past two decades means that we must now confront the dangerous new reality of rising temperatures and the serious impacts that accompany them.'

"Increased risk of flooding'

The report on the impacts of climate change said rising temperatures are expected to lead to increased risk of flooding, more droughts and heatwaves, drive species extinct and cause forests to die in many regions of the world.

Food security will be hit by reduced yields in the major crops of wheat, rice and maize, while climate change will also exacerbate existing health problems, and lead to more heat wave-related deaths, malnutrition and disease.

Increasing numbers of people are set to be displaced by extreme weather events, and the impacts of rising temperatures could help increase the risk of violent conflicts by worsening problems such as poverty, the report said.

Recent extremes such as heat waves, droughts, floods and wildfires show how vulnerable humans are to variations in climate, the study warned.

In Europe, there will be increased economic losses and more people affected by flooding in river basins and coasts, in the face of rising sea levels and heavy rainstorms.

Most of the flood damage can be avoided by measures such as flood defences, but the costs of increasing protection will be high.

Professor Sam Fankhauser, of the London School of Economics and a contributing author to the report said: "In the UK and the rest of northern Europe, we will need to cope with increasing risks from coastal and inland flooding, heat waves and droughts.

"The UK and all rich countries must also provide significant support to help poor countries, which are particularly vulnerable, to cope with the impacts of climate change."

The report from the IPCC forms the second part of a wide-ranging review of the evidence surrounding climate change.

The first part of the "fifth assessment report" which looked at the science of climate change, concluding there was a 95% chance that humans were responsible for the majority of global warming, was published last year.
