It may well be too late to stop some serious effects of global warming. However, we should be optimistic. If we make serious changes now we may be able to live with a future climate for a while (several hundred years) till it cools again.
The Not-So-Gradual increase in the rate of Global Glacial disintegration.
Enzyme reaction rate increse with temperature. So photosynthetic rate increases
No there is not. Climate change/global warming or cooling is a natural phenomena. We may be able to reduce the rate of change by sensible use of energy.
All planets experience climate change (warmer and cooler) due to fluctuations in sun output, changes in the planets distance to the sun and rate/tilt of rotation. global warming typically refers to human induced global warming and therefore only earth is influenced.
Scientists are worried about global warming because not only will it affect people but it will affect everything on the earth. They know that the rate of global warming is increasing, and that this will inevitably have serious consequences for the environment and our economies. Their concern is for science to be taken seriously by politicians and business leaders, so that solutions can be put in place in time to avoid catastrophic effects.
Global Warming does affect the survival rate of Polar Bears because Global Warming Melts the ice.
The Not-So-Gradual increase in the rate of Global Glacial disintegration.
The depletion of Rainforests could increase rate of global warming. It is because these forests absorb carbon dioxide. In their presence this greenhouse gas would cause global warming.
The current projected rate of global warming will be 4 to 7 degrees Celsius by the end of this century. "Reducing" global warming would be to aim at the lower end of this value. So our goal isn't really to reduce global warming--it is too late for that, barring some entirely new technology. Instead, we only hope to mitigate the environmental impact of human activity through reducing consumption of the fossil fuels which release greenhouse CO2 into the atmosphere.

It is not. The past 10,000 years has shown warming, but the rate is slow enough for all animals to adapt.
No, this would have the opposite effect. It would reduce the rate of global warming. Most vehicles run on oil, the burning of which releases greenhouse gases and causes global warming. Solar powered cars have no harmful emissions.
That depends upon where they disappear to. If they are used in construction, the carbon contained in those forests will still remain sequestered. More likely, however, the forests will burn down, as our climate changes. This will release the carbon they contain into the atmosphere, accelerating the rate of global warming.
