As I was blogging about my Superbowl article, this U.N. report came up. All it said about it though was the percentage of human activity that has effected global warming. I’m glad that you posted on this report so that I could become more knowledeable on some of the other things that were brought up. While it sounds like no matter what we do now to prevent global warming, it’s still going to happen anyways, the thing is whatever we do now will make a difference even if it doesn’t stop global warming. Regardless, we all need to become more conscientious of how we live so that we can make a difference.

Sometimes the phrase, “better late than never” applies in certain situations. But if it took the UN this long to release a report saying that global warming is man-made, how long is it going to take us to take action? Will it be too late by the time we finally do something? I agree with you, Camille, it will be very interesting to see what Bush does on this matter. There’s a big crisis in Iraq right now, but if we don’t attend to the global warming crisis, there won’t be an Iraq to worry about. (or a United States for that matter.)

This article clarified a lot of confusion for me! I was talked to some of my friends about APES, and one of them said that global warming was a completely natural cycle and that there’s no way for man to stop it. He gave the example of how the climate has increased since the Ice Age. That kind of confused me, because what he said made some sense, but then I couldn’t help thinking about what I learned in APES. Though from this blog I concluded that some of global warming is natural, most of it is man-made. Thanks for the clarification!

I posted on the same report. It is very sad that the even if we work on pollution control now the temperature and sea levels are going to rise for centuries. And thats if we started controlling it right now.
