A warmer world
Scientists have noted global temperatures are on the rise.
What causes this? Is it natural? What effect will it have?
Tell us what you think in the global warming forums
Disagreeing scientists
Does the fact that scientists don't all agree about the causes of the changes we're seeing make you skeptical of their predictions and recommendations?
Adapt to warming temperatures
Could we just adapt to whatever changes global warming might bring, without doing anything to try to slow or stop them?
The Kyoto Protocols
Do you think that international agreements—like the Kyoto Protocol—can make a difference in levels of greenhouse gases? Is that difference worth the estimated cost ($600 billion over the next ten years)?
What do you do?
Do YOU do anything to reduce your "ecological footprint"—the amount of energy and resources you use and waste you produce?
Would you pay more?
Would you be willing to pay more for electricity from low-carbon sources (like wind power or biomass energy) if it meant a reduction in greenhouse gases?
Alternative transportation
Do you use public transportation, walk, ride a bike, or carpool? Why or why not?
