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.

This is a pretty good resource for people trying to wrap their head around the global warming thing. The articles are straightforward and fairly well-researched, but I prefer the reader responses, which are often very thoughtful and come from many sides of the issue. In my opinion people shouldn't blow off global warming, but they shouldn't just buy into the buzzword either. Do your research and decide what you think, then act accordingly.

how would water go extinct?

SonicMasterHero In reply to theNAOMINATOR [2014-06-10 11:15:44 +0000 UTC]

The radiation that chemicals are giving out, its damaging water. Liter is also another issue with this possible extinction. If the extinction happens, the iconic level of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, "Chemical Plant" will become a reality.

Original and amazing. I like the contrast of the natural world and the world of artificial man-made (buildings, equipment, etc.) arranged in an hourglass.I also like the way you presented the issue of globalization, the man who destroyed these two worlds by your selfishness and thoughtlessness. 
At least i think so

Great work!

I really love this! *.* Can I use it as an image for a geology work about non renewable energy? I think it represents the whole meaning of human's energy consumption and the impacts it has on Earth!
