Hate to break it to you-- but technically, its called "Climate Change". Global Warming became the "buzzword" because of what is happening. Sea levels are rising because of the polar ice caps melting off faster than they should due to gasses. Climate change does not necessarily mean we get warmer... it means more volatile weather conditions... which includes stronger hurricanes, more severe drought, and extremes in both hot AND cold.
Global Warming is a misnomer. The concern is actually climate change.

Like Hurricane Camille whose winds hit Biloxi Mississippi above 200 miles per hour in 1969 and no landfalling hurricane has even come close to this strength since, and that includes Andrew and Katrina??
Alot of hysteria. Climate patterns are cyclical, the most stable abd consistent scientists say this. Another thing, whatever happened to that acid rain that was supposed to have eroded all of our cities? There are more plabes in the air now than ever, but conservationists support rainwater collection for use.
I agree that pollution is something we should all work hard to reduce. As humans, we are just too self centered and concerned for our own convenience tha. To pay attention to the affects of this sometimes, but the earth is fine, we are in no more danger today than 30 years ago, and the sun will come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar, that tomorrow. There'll be sun! (Just butt cold here in New Orleans)
