Selected comments from the MicroBytes readers…
Do you believe that man-made global
climate change is a serious problem?
YES – 58%
NO – 41%
“Absolutely! And it's time to stop talking and start
doing something about it!”
“Serious Problem? No. Of concern, yes. The socalled developed countries should have methods in
place to cut or eliminate the CO2 emissions. The
undeveloped countries may need to go through a
period of higher CO2 output, but with encouragement
($$, tech help) should not carry a heavier burden.”
“Absolutely. We are already past the tipping point
and will reap weather-related disasters from the
current pollution, even if today we were to create
strict legislation against polluters.”
“Animals living in the Arctic are having less area to
roam.”
“Based on the information available it could be a
serious problem, but the natural cycles in the past
were very extreme.”
“Better safe than sorry.”
“Climate change is a socially observed problem and
does not seem worth arguing if the bigger problem is
not solved. Are we causing potentially irreversible
harm to our planet is a much more critical question!
Climates may change and are probably altered by
what we are doing to our planet. If Three Mile Island,
Chernobyl and Japan's nuclear meltdown did not
cause attitude changes, our Earth is in serious
danger.”
“Deforestation and increased use of fossil fuels have
turned our weather patterns on end...”
“I believe the scientists that say we are nearing the
point of no return. We can't keep postponing action
and expect to turn things around when someone
finally hits the panic button.”
“I believe we are seriously damaging our planet and
everything that depends on it for life.”
“Anthropogenic global warming is a farce. Climate is
cyclical and changes constantly on many levels.
Where were greenhouse gases coming from during
and after the ice ages? "Climate change" is yet
another way that elected officials are justifying
disastrous economic policies like cap-and-trade.”
“Climate change could be serious, but is it really
man-made, or a naturally re-occuring cycle? The
earth's population is only going to keep increasing,
More people = more services needed, increased food
demand, increased energy demands, more wastecreation and certainly more conflicts.”
“Climate change has been going on long before man
was around. I don't believe what is happening now is
the result of man's doings.”
“Conflicting reports cause me to doubt their validity.
A lot of people are making a lot of money on this
issue.”
“God is in charge of the climate change one way or
the other. Man is extremely arrogant to think that he
can really do something about global climate change.
FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL.”
“I think the earth has different cycles and we are
going though a slight warming one now and if
we are contributing, it is slight.”
“Increasing human population has and is causing
climate change.”

“People think that man-made climate change is a
problem that the United States is responsible for;
when in fact, pollution is endemic in countries like
China, India and Africa. There are instances where
the air is so bad, people can’t breath yet nothing is
done to stop this industrial megalith. Go ahead and
throw out your political opinions about what’s right
and wrong, but when the black cloud rains on our
land, from across the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, be
sure to have your respirator.”
“I don't think it has been established when climate
change has been caused by man. There is too much
conflicting evidence, scientific corruption by IPCC
authors, biased press and lack solid data to prove that
climate change is cause by man. The earth has been
warmer and cooler in the past and we know so little
about what causes climate change to conclude man is
the cause and a bigger ego to think we have the
power to change it.”
“Summers are hotter, winters are shorter. People need
to wake up and smell the melting asphalt! Polar bears
and Alaskan Brown bears have already started to
create a new, more tolerant breed of bear. We may
have to come up with new, more tolerant attitudes as
the temperatures rise.”
“The effects are obvious. Denial is futile!”
“To the doubters: Why risk that you're wrong? Is it
not better to be safe than sorry?”
“While man-made change may not be the whole
story, it is causing increasing CO2 levels with serious
effects to both the atmosphere and oceans. We can
not stop natural changes, but there is no reason to
speed them.”
“Man-made global climate change is a "relatively"
serious problem, but I am not submitting to a dooms
day scenario. I also believe that the planet can heal
itself if we give the earth a fighting chance, i.e. use
natural resources such as solar, wind, and water
power. We can also increase recycling measures. All
this is obvious, but it only works if we practice it
"religiously", and help those who create the most
pollution in whatever form it takes.”
“Of course, it's been very adequately demonstrated
scientifically. Only idiots and fools believe
otherwise.”
“This is the most serious challenge humankind faces
in this century.”
“Your question is written poorly. Climate change
may be a problem. The question is whether it is man
made. From my perspective, there is good evidence
that it is not man-made, nor is there anything man can
do about it.”
“One huge volcanic eruption will release more
carbon dioxide and other dangerous gases into the
atmosphere than we have in a hundred years
accumulatively. I think people need to get things into
perspective. Change is constant for the earth. Just
because you take a measurement today in one
moment of billions of years of change does not mean
we need to keep levels constant. Change will occur
so learn to adapt, accept it, or go extinct. The history
of the earth is well written in geology, etc.”
“The climate of the Earth has varied over the
centuries way prior to man's industrialization.
The Earth experienced a "mini" Ice Age from 12001850. The Earth has been warming up since then. If
an Ice Age started tomorrow does anyone really
believe we could do anything to stop it?”
“We contribute, but global warming and cooling is a
natural recurring, cyclical phenomenon and there is
very little that we can do to change it.”
“It will open Siberia and Canada for farming.
Also the plants grow better in lower oxygen level so
all will be balanced again.”
“I think not, but I do believe that man is contributing
to a natural cycle of warming/cooling.”
