i heard that 1o% of the ice at the ice caps have dissapeared
i dont why people arent that worried yet? i bet they will start to worry only when the signs of global warming really show....like when coastal areas start to get submerged  Last edited by solar_flare; Nov 18, 2004 at 03:35 AM. Reason: post did not make sense |

Yeah, I agree. Country's like Greenland are endangered by this. If people don't do something soon, the situation will have gathered too much momentum by the time they do start caring for them to make an impact by doing anything.
I for one really hate pollution and am worried about my future kids. I mean, I can't bring them into this world knowing that they could be greatly endangrered by an unforgiving environment. And yet, the situation just keeps on getting worse and worse!!!  |

well, the US has been doing stuff to bring down pollution ever since the Oil embargo of the 1970s. We've come out w/more economical vehicles consuming less gasoline, and also making them less polluting at the same time. So i guess somebody does care enough out there.
