Do you believe in
global warming?Yes. The leaf buds on the maple trees outside my window are
opening ten days earlier than they did in l990. Discounting for inflation, our heating oil
bills are 5% lower than they were ten years ago.

Uh, I guess so. But I think we have
more immediate problems to face, such as
desertification.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Global
Warming. Pro's: better weather, less pain for
people with fibro and other weather-sensitive illnesses. Con's: skin cancer and global
flooding.

Do I believe in global warming???? The
question is raised in a strange way. My smart aleck response is, "no, I believe in
God". Do I think there is evidence to support the theory of global warming? Yes, but
I don't think the extremist projections that we'll be under water in 10 years and
life as we know it will cease are without support.

I live in Louisiana. It has been 432
degrees here since I moved in 1984. The only way it
could get any hotter is if the earth fell into the sun, and to protect myself, i cut
myself with razors and jumped into a barrel of tabasco.

Yes, in the sense that the Earth goes
through cycles of warming and cooling as a natural process. If our species has contributed
to that process than it was only natural. If it leads to the death of our species, than
that was a part of the natural process.

We have expereinced milder and milder weather and more extreme
weather in the last decade. So some sort of warming is going on. and it is
global. Now whether this is part of a decreasing ozone or natrual rhythm of the
earth that is so large no single human generation would know of it I can't say.

Global Warming is not a myth but something
real. The earth is heating itself and the atmosphere is trapping the heat inside. And it
is true that the earth is gradually getting warmer my fractions of a degree. The concepts are easy but the rest of it is complicated to understand. However,
global warming is real and not a myth.

i really don't know. . . .I am not
sufficiently concerned to even micro-obsess about it (yet). . . . .

Do I
Beleive in Global Warming?
No, I believe in Irreparable Global Damage.
Global Warming is too sincere.
Behold! Venus the goddess of Global Warming.
350 degree days with an atmosphere so thick the sun appears green, stretched and faint at
the equator. Nothing grows with storms of methane, carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. It's
even too hot for water vapor to become rain.
As Mother Earth wobbles around the sun, the
deserts expand and life runs extinct, 'Modern Man' focuses on the Technological and
Monetary environments over the Ecological one. The depleting Ozone layers at the polar
caps and accumulated carbon in the atmosphere, are only after effects of a greedy, short
sighted, society. My prediction is that drinkable Water will be the first element man will
have to replace before the Earth becomes sleepy with Carbon Dioxide.
Today is an age where the Virtual world over
fascinates the Living world. Earth therefore becomes the paradox herself, the death of
life.I want to personally apologize on behalf of 'Modern Man' for the entire mutated Earth
of tomorrow. Damn Sorry!

I believe that we have to be careful with
the emissions factories and cars emit, however, I do not believe global warming is as big
a problem as the media may have us believe.

Yes, but not in the "hole in the
ozone" theory. the hole in the ozone is natural because ozone is produced when
sunlight contacts oxygen and there is less sunlight around the poles. (It's ironic that
people think the hole in the ozone is caused by human developement when there is none in
the south pole, where the hole is.) Global warming, on the other hand, is real.

Not
really, long story...as a phenomonem, yes...but as something new that modern civilisation
has created...no.

I didn't for awhile, but now that I'm
hearing about all these icebergs melting and seeing the clear evidence for myself, I'm
starting to get a little concerned.

I don't
know - there are too many conflicting reports to make a decision.
