not ready yet
Iam a journalist in Kano, Nigeria,who came across this site just about an hour ago. I developed an interest in this venture in order to widen my knowledge more. Issue of global warming and environment has not been given much publicity especially in the northern part of our country because the governments in these ereas have not been doing justice to the issue, parhaps due to insensitiveness and neglect.

WE ARE ITSELF DESTRYING US
No one has came from outside, we humans are itself responsible for ending our life on this earth by playing idaly with our atmosphere.
Friends, this is the time to take a oath to protect our earth from Global Warming so that we can live here for few more years.
THANKS and GOOD BY

Global Warming Article*
The article was a good article. It gave lot's of information on global warming. I think that this should be a reference to anything science related. This article really helped me out. I attend a Memphis city High School. In biology class we had to do a research on global warming and write a 3 paragraph researched article. This was a big help. I love biology but not every thing comes to my mind like it's supposed to do. So i'd recommend that this be a reference to science related things. You can come up eith good ideas with a article like this.

why does man want to become master of the earth?
He can do that by changing the green nature into a deserted forest.
So be careful children always remember:-
'If you do good
god will send you to Paradise.

Global Warming
In our school, we have just started discussing global warming seriously to our students as we joined the 350.org. We, teachers, have also taken small steps to begin the campaign against global warming in our school.

if we have 2 live on earth we should protect it by not polluting the environment, by not cutting trees instead we should plant more nd more of trees

summer
iam from southern part of india and here most of the time in a year we are facing the hot summer that is how i have to say, in our city the temp never come down below 30C in a day time but this is not the case before 10years or before, i have a doubt whether this is because we are living near the world second largest beach or it is anything else iam eager to know the feedback and some good measures to take to others

LET US COVER ALL THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH TREES, AGRI FILELDS OR BY SOLAR CELLS . LET THERE BE NO RADIATION FROM EARTH TO THE ATMOSPHERE.

Sharvari Gangal 2009-09-24 12:40:29
need for some encouragement
its not that people are unaware but everyone knows what are the bad effects of global warming but people never take this issue seriously.There is need to encourage people to use anti global warming products and yes also to appreciate the efforts of those following this path.This will give people pride in taking efforts to reduce global warming !!!

dannah buenaflor 2009-09-24 06:52:50
BE AWARE!
our planet Earth is the only place we could ever have to live in this universe so we should be the one to be conserve and preserve it for the future's generation... we should be responsible for our mother nature.

men-made
I believe that man-made is one of the main reasons that cause global warming.people don't know what their activities effect on them..

i forecast that if we don't avoid burning,pollution,desertification and causes of this phenomena all of us will bear the consequences in the nearest future.Climatic change is natural and we have to go according to the gods of nature.

GLOBAL WARMING
I AM A SOUTH AFRICAN, AND THE THING THAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST IS OUR FIELD FIRES. EVERY WINTER OUR SKIES ARE FILLED WITH DARK SMOKE. PEOPLE BURN THE FIELDS SO THAT WHEN SUMMER COMES, IT WOULD COME OUT GREEN. BUT WHAT THEY DONT REALISE IS THAT THEY ARE HELPING GLOBAL WARMING ALONG. I WOULD LIKE TO START A PETITION. THE GOVERMENT SHOULD FINE THESE PEOPLE, AND LET THEM DO A YEAR COMUNITY SERVICE KILLING FIRES. AND WITH THE FINE MONEY THE GOVERMENT COULD BAY LAWNMOWERS TO CUT THE FIELDS, WITCH IN TURN COULD CREATE JOBS. I FEAL AS A SOUTH AFRICAN, THAT EVEN THE SMALLEST THING COULD HELP A LITTLE BIT TO SLOW DOWN GLOBAL WARMING. EVEN BY 0.00001%.

Educated people khow about the globle warming but large nomber of people dont know so all the nation should stand together

Diversity in Unity to Face Global Warming
I believe it is now our time to hand in hand and to stand together to face damages to our world which are caused by human beings, us.
Our Fear & Greed are the most significant contributors in destroying nature and living things. So Don't just think about ourselves, Don't just think about now but think about future of the human beings, our future children and grand children. Let's be together in Diversity in Unity.
Green regards from Suryanda

Global warming as affected by Co2 emission form soil
Soil is one of the major sources for emitting Co2 in the atmosphere. Reducing Co2 emission by sequestering C in the soil is of paramount importance. Recent studies have shown physic-chemical and biological management of soil, like increasing organic carbon content in the soil, reducing soil tillage, mulching of soil, biomass incorporation, enhancing soil biodiversity, organic farming, increasing soil microbial activity etc can play a key role in Carbon sequestration in soil

Very simplistic and understandable definition on GW.


Huon Wilson 2009-06-28 08:28:10
global warming info report
I found your information less informative than other sites (so to speak) but more a one sided media report, summarising global waming. In all honesty i would have to agree that global warming is HUGE risk to us and our children, but scientists have also gathered information dating back to prehistoric times (some time around the cretaucus persiod) where the earths core temperature was much much higher and sea levels were over 100m higher. definatly the indigenous people of Kakadu national park were around during the ice age which dates back over 50,000 years and have recorded the sea levels rising. So does this really mean that rising sea levels and harsher cyclones will cause the end of the world? Or are we just freaking out at the posibility of something meaningful happening in our lives? these are some points you should have addressed or researched before claiming scientific evidence.

Harry Dorling 2009-06-24 18:18:25
very good info

Just wondering...
Hey, this article's good as it gave me some statistical/numerical facts- like the temperature which I needed for my essay but I was just wondering about how when you said, that globally the earth's temperature has risen by one degree celsius, but then how come when we look at individual countries and their temperatures and how they've risen which is usually more than one degree celsius, how can this statement be true? Just wondering, thanks.
