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.” Do you think that man-made global climate change is a serious problem?

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.” Do you think that man-made global climate change is a serious problem?
