Climate Change protests increase worldwide

It is all about money and the economy. Most of us want sustainability. We do have to speak up.

We see corporation as greedy, but we have to look at ourselves too. What luxuries are we willing to give up in order to maintain a healthy earth? To me Simplicity is the ultimate luxury. What we own, owns us.

Less is more.

Yes, climate protest has to go up and we need more attention. Global warming is a bigger crisis then the financial crisis.

We need change, we need sustainable energy, electric cars. We have to transite to a sustainable society. Climate will force us.

i must disagree.

pollution and environmental damage are definitely a problem, but they don't cause global warming.  i've studied climate change and there is no threat from global warming.. if you need facts let me know.

i don't think it's a good idea to "cap greenhouse gases" yet, causing electricity rates to "skyrocket"; at least not now when the economy is so fragile.

please don't attack me because i don't believe in "global warming".. let's have a debate; i'm sure of myself on this topic.

'Climate Change' or 'Global Warming' likely the most favourite issue accross the globe, by the political 'oddsmaker', But people should know about the awareness, The addition of greenhouse gasses and aerosols has changed the composition of the atmosphere.Human activities have substatially added the amount of heat trapping in the atmosphere. The burning of fuels and biomass (living matter such as vegetation) has also resulted in emissions of aerosols that absorb heat, and reflect light. We need change, send the message to the world, about the crisis, We must teach our children to conserve energy with new sustaiinable technology. We have to repower the world, not only America, but worldwide.

In the final question and answer round, on Miss Earth 2008, the final four were asked on "what they would tell US president-elect Barack Obama about the state of the global environment if ever they were to meet."

Miss Earth 2008 Karla Paula Henry, responded by saying "she would encourage Obama to emplement environmental knowledge in the curriculum of schools not just in the US, but also in the Philippines."

Ug ug! Cave man see strange thing in sky. Must sacrific goat to please angry gods. Ug! Ug!

The theory  of CO2 and climate CRISIS is 23 years old, La Nina delayed it meaning a weather pattern is now more powerful than all of the forces of global warming that was supposed to melt the planet and our kids think that they won't have grand kids.

Global wamring will be to some what WMD's were to neocons. Lies and myths.

This is an embarrassing time for humans, not because of pollution, but because we think that if we gave more taxes to politicians, they will LOWER THE TEMPERATURE OF THE PLANET. This is insanity.

This isn't about pollution. Global warming is an aging theory pushed by the benifiting poltical left, pandering politicians, PR firms and corporate media. These scientists that the politicians and media cherry pick are consultants, not gods.

We are living longer than at any time in human history and our air is cleaner than the smoggy 70's thanks to a successful environmental movement started by Rachel Carson who is rolling in her grave seeing these fear mongering techinicians of blame and crisis.

Respect our world. Protect our world. Preserve our world. Stop the fear!

The debate is over about whether or not climate change is real. irrefutable evidence from around the world, including extreme weather events, record temperatures, retreatingglaciers, and rising sea levels--all point to the fact climate change is happening now and rates much faster than previously thought.  

The consensus includes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, consisting of over 2,000 scientist from 100 countries. The findings of the panel have been approved by the National Academies of Science of each of the G8 countries, along China, India, and Brazil. 

SAVE THE EARTH, SAVE THE PLANET!!!

Obviously the climate is changing as it always has and always will. Nothing stays the same. The burning question is what is responsible for this and is it really changing at a more rapid pace? I for one am deeply concerned about the melting of the polar ice-caps for example. Not only will the ocean levels rise as this continues, but the ice tends to reflect quite a bit of solar energy away from the surface. Without this happening, won't the temperature (and the melting) happen even faster?

The good news in my opinion is that people everywhere are waking up to this challenge. We still have to wrap our heads around the source of the biggest CO2 emissions and act to curtail them ASAP. No point in feeling all guilty about being a polluter when your contribution to global warming is so infinitesimally small in comparison to heavy industry.

Heavy polluters have used the waterways and the atmosphere as a free garbage dump for altogether too long now. They should be identified and fined like the environmental criminals that they are. The fines ( that ought to reflect the severity of the violation ) ought to be used to implement green, environmentally sustainable industry to replace the dirty, out-moded, rape and pillage style business model.
