Yes.
- The world has never warmed as fast as is happening now.
- Governments all over the world are slow to act.
- There is tremendous political pressure from vested interest groups (fossil fuel industries) to AVOID moving to renewable (and clean) energy.
- It is certainly too late to stop global warming. It's happening already. If we act immediately we may be able to prevent some of the more terrible consequences of global warming and climate change.
No.
While it is a potential (as opposed to imminent) threat, and there is ample historical evidence to support much deeper study and better understanding. In the short term, any effort made to reduce pollution is the best possible move. Moving too fast, however, could result in overcompensation, and greater damage. Consider the natural disasters we have created in the attempt to improve.
We humans are curious, tool using, little apes. Too often we leap long before ever considering that we should have first looked. That is the course of behavior we need to change, and which has been the greatest imminent threat to our continued existence since we first started planting our own food and raising our own livestock.

Is global warming really a threat?
Yes, global warming is a threat.
What are Ralph naders views on global warming?
Ralph Nader stated in the Greens 2008 Presidential Campaign literature, that "it is time to break our addiction to fossil fuels. The evidence of global warming is mounting. We threaten the global environment with our continued use of fossil fuels. Not only is this an ecological threat, it is a tremendous economic threat, facing all of humanity. Global warming will bankrupt the re-insurance industry, spread infectious tropical diseases, and increase severe and unpredictable weather."
Is global warming the same as pollution?
No. Pollution is the main cause of global warming. Pollutants such as greenhouse gases are often trapped in the atmosphere. As a result, heat is retained inside. This heat is what causes temperatures around the globe to rise thus causing global warming. As with any issue, there are many investigations and experiments that argument in favor and against this global warming theory. However, most of them show it is a real situation and a real threat in the near future.
What will happen if carbon dioxide pollution is reduced?
If carbon dioxide pollution is reduced then the accelerating greenhouse effect might slow and global warming would not be so much a threat.
Why is global warming a political issue?
Both. Global warming is a moral issue because it is damaging the environment that we are leaving to our children, but we are not doing enough to prevent it. It is also a political issue because it is too large to be dealt with by individuals. Politicians are elected to make decisions for the good of the country and the world. We need them to act globally.
