What is everyone's perspective on global warming?

Do you think we are doing it to ourselves? Do you even think it is really happening?

The fact of the matter is is that it is happening and we are doing it to ourselves and we are all going to die unless we change our ways. (Well that's IMO, anyways. )

I think that it is happening, but not as fast and not as badly as a lot of people think. I do, however, think that the world, especially the US, needs to change it's environmental habits.

Alright, lets see. GW... i think it is bad, as bad as we think. Some say it isnt, but that's the kind of carelessness that will make these things happen. I also think that it is us causing the most damage, even if global warming occurs naturally. No, im not saying everyone should go outside and beat up their cars and get an electric one, but i do think that cars/automobiles are one the main problems. At least the car manufacturers should try to fix the problem. Yes, hybrid cars are emerging, and yes, it's helping the environment/saving people money, but out of the people you know, how many own an electric? Including the emissions of factories, chemicals, and different kinds of pollution, that's all caused by... well, us. I say we start doing something now so we don't have to feel nostalgic about our past mistakes.

Yup. Very well put. I agree 100%.

Global warming may just be a natural cycle. A few decades ago we were throwing fit over global cooling. I'm gonna place my chips on that it's just a natural occurrence. However, we do need to change our environmental policies. Clean fuel, reducing pollution, recycling, and the like would do wonders for the world overall.
