By "unlivable," it means that the cancer rate will be extremely high and much of the population will be wiped out.
I'm sorry if this post was so pessimistic sounding, but the movie The Day After Tomorrow seems to almost be turning into reality now. I have a friend that has the nerve to say he doesn't believe that global warming exists and he has evidence to disprove it. I'm sorry, but no evidence is going to disprove weather charts and multiple studies to me, ESPECIALLY with how everyone can obviously see how weather patterns are changing.
Another study suggests that the ozone could not completely heal itself until 2068, and that's most likely assuming that it starts healing now, which doesn't seem likely since conditions are only becoming worse.
So... what can we do? The end of the world is as inevitable as www.endoftheworld.com puts it. There's no stopping it, but we can still work together to maximize the lifespan of the Earth, so that there may be generations to come. Personally, if nothing is done, I wouldn't want to put children/grandchildren/etc in this situation.
Alternative fuel sources are pretty much one of the most needed things right now, although there haven't yet been any discovered to replace the ones we use every day. So, do we continue this way until we find one? That question was rhetorical. If you've read this post at all, you'd realize I'm thinking no, but I have no control over everyone, only my humble input. I have no solution to what will become of mass transit if we stop using these fuels. Please understand this post is merely meant to be informative and not some kind of godsend.
Feel as you will on this subject. I just wanted to let everyone that I think society as a whole needs to take action.

You know how we have ice ages and stuff? Yeah, this is the other peak. Its the natural cycle of the earth, at least thats what I think.

So you think pollutants are having no effect? That even though there are an estimated 1000 more cars on the road every day, and we are burning up natural resources faster than ever and creating the greenhouse effect, everthing is natural? It's good to be optomistic, so I'd hope you're right.

Gobal warming. -_- As I've probably already said before, volcanoes shoot out more pollutants into the air when they erupt than what we put into the air in approximately 5 years. And the earth fixes itself after they happen, so if we're doing anything, it's not much. Any of the unusual weather "phenomana" is just the earth's cycle. If you were to look back like 20 or so years ago, it probably happened then too. As for the heat, just a heatwave. For me it's already back down to high 70s and mid 80s again. A week of hot and humid weather, with some storms thrown in doesn't mean OMG GLOBAL WARMING.
And it's 2012, not 2036. So if you have anything that you want to accomplish during your lifetime, ya got 6 years. ;)

You are aware they already have a fuel hybrid that could solve these problems? The problem is that oil companies won't allow this to be used whilst they are getting billions. Its call HHO (hybrid hydrogen oxygen) and it is mixed with petrol and can run a car perfectly. As WATER is the main ingredient, it is cheaper and also very environmentally friendly, as no polluntants are let out.
100 + (37 degrees celsius) is what we usually get in summer. In a summer (slitghy worse) for us, we get temps that average 35 degress (95 degrees fahrenheit). We've had heaps of days over 40 degrees celsius (104 degrees fahrenheit).
Atm its winter, and the weather is ****.

Never before has the whether been this bad, it's getting further up the 100's each day and the humidiness is getting out of hand ><** I hate this so bad, what's worse..the mayor is afriad of another blackout since about 50 people (mainly in queens) have already had blackouts. So he had con or whatever lower the electricity which is killing me. It's like the ac is blowing out hotair, which is GRRRR... I CAN'T WAIT FOR WINTER!! WOOO..I swear I wanna move to alaska or something.
This topic came from me and Kijuki talking about it, :p share your stories of horrid weather or theories and ect..

Umm, CoasterKrazy, no offense, but are you or your parents hippies?
No offense, but just because it's hot, doesn't mean global warming is coming, it's been this hot before, and it will be this hot again, it's called a heat wave, deal with it. And lets face it, there is no way to prove the ozone layer is depleating, no way at all, you can't see it.
And yes, a new fuel source has already been invented, and ford and most other car companies have already allied themselves with the company that produces the fuel. Chicago for instance has already pledged to switch their taxis from gas cars to cars that use this new fuel.
It's called Bioethanol, or Cellulosic Ethanol. It's carbon neutral so it doesn't produce the gasses you're so worried about. And it's cheap and effective. (I suggest buying some stock in any companys that make this stuff since a line of Bioethanol cars is coming out in 07)
Back on topic.
Holy freaking crap it was hot this week!
I'm just glad it's started to cool down here in Michigan.

It may not be that. It may be a coincidence. Perhaps the earth has gone on a teanie tiny tilt. A slight tilt can dirastically change the entire earth, so perhaps this was a slight slight tilt.
(I'm merely starting a debate for fun. I also believe global warming is happening, but I also like to think of other possiblities)

CK, umm, i wasn't calling you a hippie because of your belief in Global warming, I was calling you a hippie because of how you were going about spreading the good word of the cult of Global Warming. (That was a joke) Seriously, you don't have to go all pessimistic end of the world on everyone, they were just talking about the heat, it's hot.
Furthermore, I typically don't really care what Scientists tell me anymore, they contradict themselves often. (The biggest instance of course being that whole geocentric thing.) And I never said the world was "Pure". But I suppose you see all kind of words that aren't there when in the grip of your mind altering hippy drugs (That was a joke as well.) In all seriousnes, I don't know what made you think I thought the world was pure. I am just sick of being told what to believe by scientists. As far as I'm concerned if Global warming comes, whatever, people will find a way to survive.
If you really want to stop Global Warming, go plug up all the volcanoes in the world, or better yet, stop whining about it on a forum and go out and be a productive member of society and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
For god's Sake, the world will Die from a SMUG overdose (South Park reference) long before Global Warming does.
Oh, and next time you read a post that happens to have a decenting opinion, accept that people don't believe the same way as you, and try not to be such a whining little fragile ego'd pansy.
I don't care if you respond, but I'm done with the argument, You're going to walk away with a smug sense of self satisfaction knowing that "You're Right" and get in your familys hybrid and enjoy the smell of each others farts as you talk about how right you are.

Another apocalyptic event, coming soon near youuuuu!(read as: in approximately 26 billion years), the magnetic polarities of the north and south pole will switcheroo!(Their magnetic because of the magnetite and such in the area between the mantle and the outer central core of the Earth is spinning in clockwise and counterclockwise directions through magma. They switch because the Earth will change it's axis, and thus, swirl the magma the other way.) Luckily, the human race will probably just last another 1000 years, due to the anti-ecoism growing. Spread the word of the hippies,if you wanna live!
Did you know?:Microwave ovens cook with electromagnetic microscopic wavebeams(microwaves), which is controlled and amplified by radiation. You realize that it spreads dangerous radiation, like a nuclear warhead, right?

Econimically and techlogically speaking, some of the world, not all of it. at least not the 3 billions half that are waaay poorer than the other half.
And if you talk about evolution wise, I don't really see that point, cause i believe humans live differently than most animals (and they do) that must adapt to world changes, and on my opinion humans cannot at all evolve effectivly cause of that, at least not anymore.
It is more likely for humanity to seclude itself from going out to a hotter earth, thus not adapting, than to go outside and try to adapt to the heat. And I see that as a fact.
Humans yet being one of the smartest species are also one of the dumbest. Sadly.

Not for my asthma it isnt xD
People, go out more and walk! charas will be here =D
I am not poking fun but even the idea sounds blehy >.<
I do have an aunt tho that she says she is freezing at 82F xD
She's lived in a hot place all her life and when she came to visit my house about 4 years ago, she couldnt be inside the house cause she would feel too cold xP and then she went outside most of the time during the beggining of fall. I think it also has to do with mental power *shrugs dumbfoundedly*

I have heard theories about it, but it's kinda hard to know. The graviational pull of the sun would have to be increasing in order for the planets to grow closer and we all know that graviatational force never changes in space. So, The best we can say is that the planets are falling out of orbit, very slowly, mind you. People need to stop worrying about the end of the world. It is inevitable. Just live your life and do the best with what God gave you. If you're not a believer in God, do the best you can do. If it's global warming, we're not going to feel super changes in temperature for quite a few years from now. It's just different for most of the people up north because they're not used to this type of weather. It's honestly not that bad.

Also, watch out for the polarity of the earth changing. Last time that occured, there was massive extinction on the planet. Although we'll probably be all dead by the time this occurs. And if the tilt and the poles thing doesnt kill us, the moon is slowly leaving our planet, and when that does, that will probably get us. And if by some mircale that doesn't kill us, our sun will turn into a red giant and consume the planet. THEN were done.
Science is fun.
