While many of us enjoy the luxury of watching TV on our couch with a cold can of soda or beer, the ice caps are melting at an alarming rate. Polar bears that need the ice to hunt and survive are drowning or starving; sometimes forced to search through dumpsters to survive. www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news…

Global warming is undeniably here. 2000-present date was the warmest decade on record worldwide www.epa.gov/climatechange/indi… . This is not part of the natural climate change but a human induced and an abnormally accelerated increase in temperature. Waiting for the countdown until all the ice caps and glacier have melted and water level has risen is not an option.

Many of us think that helping to prevent global warming is just about driving a hybrid car, or getting solar panels, which most people can't afford, so why bother?

While fossil fuel burning cars are a huge source of green house gasses, many other things also add up to create the problem. The manufacturing of anything takes up energy, which is usually created by burning fossil fuel like gas and coal. Relying on oil also lets big oil companies like BP and ExxonMobile get away with oil spills time and time again (with the most recent large spill in Yellowstone national park billingsgazette.com/news/local… ) With that in mind, I'm not saying we should give up everything we own and live in the wild, but any amount of reduce, reuse, and recycle will lessen the amount of new products that needs manufacturing. And that's something we can all do.

Taking public transportation, carpooling, or riding a bike are a cost efficient and healthy way to save energy and money. Even eating less meat (especially cows and pigs), can greatly help because it takes more energy to raise a cow than some crops of the same nutritional value. Cows are also a huge source of methane, which is another type of greenhouse gases that's responsible for global warming.

There are many other small things that we can all do help the environment like turning off the lights when we're not in the room, or not using the AC or heater if we could just take off or put on a jacket instead.

Change is not waiting for the scientists and government to come up with the solution, change starts with the little things we can do everyday.

It has come to my attention that my work closely resembles this one pepey.deviantart.com/art/globa… which was made 2 years before mine. I have never seen this until after I posted my drawing, and people started telling me about the similarities between the two. I did not copy the idea and the similarities are purely coincidental. Congrats to pepey who came up with it first, but please do not assume that I plagiarized.

I find environmentalism stupid, although I prefer not to get into any debate over which is right. I'd much rather be an eco-sinner, and I don't want to sound full of myself, but I'm not stupid by any means. I happen to have A's in all my classes, and I am educated on the supposed effects of pollution. I just enjoy polluting the environment, which doesn't make me stupid. You're a typical hypocrite for being on the "peaceful environmental" side, and then calling somebody stupid just because you don't agree with them. Typical environmentalists, too narrow-minded to consider they just might be wrong.

YES! Someone with a brain! 
It's all true, ice caps are melting rapidly, california is almost completely in a drought and there have been so many nameless earthquakes around the world. 
This post you have here is only in the shallow end, my friend.
"They have published papers about electron precipitation from the magnetosphere (the outer belts of charged particles which stream toward Earth's magnetic poles) caused by man-made very low frequency electromagnetic waves. "These precipitated particles can produce secondary ionization, emit X-rays, and cause significant perturbation in the lower ionosphere."

Earth quakes, tsunamis, tornados, lightning shooting down into the ocean and killing a 2 miles radius of all sea life!
It's real and goes unnoticed because big corporations have invested so much money to cover it as a hoax! This world is a beautifully insane place.

Well, even if us humans don't accelerate global warming, life on Earth will be impossible in a billion years or so because the sun will grow so hot the oceans will dry out. So no worries, we're not making anything worse!
