Scientists are saying in a couple of years(about five to ten) the Earth will catch on fire, and it will be so hot that it's unbarable. They say that it will kill everyone and everything. They will be so big too, that there's no way to put them out.
Other people say that there will be a flood, or a freeze-over. I believe in the first one, but that's just me.

No they do not say anything of the sort. Whatever the reasons for the present climate change, and however much or little that change is anthropogenic, the idea that the Earth will be consumed by an inferno is just silly. Some desert areas may well become unbearable, and major forest fires may well become more common, and of course a lot of low-lying land would become flooded by the rising sea; but the actual temperature rise in degrees won't be very much. Obviously the planet itself cannot catch fire.
A freeze? Possibly but not for thousands of years yet. We are presently in an "interglacial" stage of an Ice Age, and geologically the Earth's climate is relatively cool as shown by the existence of the Polar ice-caps, but these intervals are rather longer than your suggested 2, 5 or 10 years! So the climate probably will warm further anyway, but the big question is the extent to which mankind's activities are accelerating or adding to the change.

Because of global warming Why are polar bears drowning?
The Arctic sea ice, where they live during the winter, is melting earlier every year.
Without Global Warming?

How would global warming impact Arizona?
it would get a lot hotter and would be hard to live in
If global warming is Happening why is the Earth being effected?
The earth is effected because of the temperature changes. Some plants live at a specific temperature and if that temperature changes, it dies.
What does global importance mean?
Global importance is a term used to evaluate the importance or value of an issue based on how relevant or important it is to the rest of the world. For instance, global warming has a lot of global importance because it affects the entire globe where issues like high gas prices in Connecticut have low global importance because they only really affect the people that live in Connecticut
How long do white foxes live?
they used to live for 15 years but now is is 3-7 years because of the climate and global warming.
What are some things about polar bears?
they live in the arctic and are dying out because of global warming!
Will people have to live differently when global warming happens?
Sometimes global warming does change how people live. For example, the time to plant gardens after winter is now earlier in some places than it was 20 years ago.
Is there a chance the the world will be too hot that no man can live or survive because of global warming?
probably
Is the Arctic endangered?
Yes because the ice is melting from global warming
What is going to happens to glaciers because of global warming?
they will melt and all the animals that live there might drown. :(
How have people contributed to an increase in earths temperature?
Global Warming. The polar bears and penguins and all the other animals who live on ice house or home is being ruined all because of global warming.
Why should we save our earth?
Because we live on it, basically. Most of us also want to leave it in reasonable condition for our children and grandchildren. If we don't stop global warming, the earth is going to be very difficult to live on in 100 years time!
Will people be able to live on the moon?
yes they will cos scientists are trying to find water on it do people can live there in thousands of years time when the earth gets desroyed by global warming .
Does Global Warming affect the Arctic wolf?
yes because the ice it lives on will eventually melt and it will die out because it will have no where to live. hence the term ARCTIC fox
Doglobal warming make any impact?
Global warming can make an impact on the environment and the way people live. The global temperature raised 0.09 degrees in the 10 year period of 2002 through 2012. At the current rate it will take nearly 100 years for the global temperature to raise one degree.
Does the environment help people live longer?
Yes, a clean and healthy environment can contribute to people living longer by reducing exposure to harmful pollutants, ensuring access to clean water and air, and providing opportunities for physical activity and mental well-being. However, individual lifestyle choices and genetic factors also play significant roles in overall longevity.
