09/24/2006 | Global warming is real and coming. We, as a human race, pollute air due to "higher technology" and careless outlook on life, creating more problems. Pollution affects ozone layer which in its turn unprotects us from radiation from the sun. Because of weak effect of ozone layer the heat melts ice and screws up temperature on Earth, you know the rest. It's sad that we take so many things for granted.

03/18/2006 | Nascar fans don't care about global warming, but I do. Global warming sucks and because of this our winter feels like spring and our spring feels like summer. It sucks dudes!

03/18/2006 |  Global warming is primarily junk science. Yes, averages temperatures have raised moderately recently, but there's no reason to suspect that either it's our fault or that it's necessarily going to result in a cataclysm. In fact, 3 of the top sources of greenhouse gases are animals, trees, and volcanoes... all notably natural sources.
Here's an excerpt from Jurassic Park, part of the foreword. I think Crichton explains global warming best:
If the ozone layer gets thinner, ultraviolet radiation sears the Earth... so what? Ultraviolet radiation is good for life. It's powerful energy. It promotes mutation, change. Many forms of life will thrive with more UV radiation. Many others will die out. You think this is the first time that's happened? Think about oxygen. Necessary for life now, but oxygen is actually a metabolic poison. It's a corrosive gas, like fluorine. When oxygen was first produced as waste product by certain plant cells some three billion years ago, it created a crisis for all other life on Earth. Those plants were polluting the environment: exhaling a lethal gas! Earth eventually had an atmosphere incompatible with life. Nevertheless life on Earth took care of itself.
I have no reason to worry about this. It probably won't do anything in our lifetime... or our children's... or our grandchildren's...

03/17/2006 | tboneya says it perfectly. This is something that might not affect most of us in our lifetimes, but it doesn't make it any less our problem. We have to start looking into other options, especially if we are hoping for the best with future generations.
