I know this is an issue that everyone has an opinion about, even if it is to consider it all a load of crap. However, the latest news seem to have finally gotten people to listen, and think about global warming.

But still, I don't think anything is going to be done in the near future, since most people still have that selfish way of looking at things that says: "Hey, I won't live long enough to see it." After all the predictions are for 2090, which is still a long time away, and by the time most people realize the real threat posed by this shift in the planet's weather, it's going to be, not only too late, but of catastrophic proportions.

After all, thinking of a few inches more of sea level seems insignificant, but when that means that most coastal cities might be closer to flooding, and tsunamis much more frequent, as well as less beach space, then people will care, for it will be their lives, and more importantly, their properties, which will be at stake, then people will care, and therefore corporations and governments as well.

I just hope that by the time the planet is too hot to live in, or the northern and southern halves too frozen to be habitable, mankind will have found a way to colonize new planets, and maybe, just maybe, have learned to care more about the environment, and less about their own pockets, wallets, and bank accounts.
