I don't feel we'll solve the problem in time, especially as third world countries develop! Imagine in fifty years the amount of pollution in the world, it will more then likely double, it's possible!
I'm actually looking forward to 'weird' weather in Britain though. Hot weather will save me going to spain, tornados will save me from getting square eyes and of course everyone will be wearing bakini's like in Miami, rolling about on rollerskates. *dreams*
Untill theres a solution, theres no way we can stop global warming but whats saying it's are doings that are causing it? Could well be something that has been waiting to happen for years i.e ice caps melting (sun + ice = water).

When I was a kid we used to get the most amazing snow! like really DEEP snow, we could get out the polly bags (much better than a boring sledge) Now though the winters are so mild I already have spring flowers peeking through, So they say that is because we have all been sloppy with the way we have looked after the world.
I agree with what you say about the thrid world countries developing, it is a bit of a catch 22 we want them to be self sufficient so they dont have to rely on the rest of the world for financial aid, but in the process it puts more pressure on the atmosphere by the increase in industry.
Surely my non energy light bulbs and car have caused less of a problem than the huge plants that the governments of the world have been responsible for funding. As well as all the weapons they have built and tested into our atmosphere, surely that is more of a problem than the way we live in our homes.
As for the heat, we I say bring it on, I always wanted to move to a hotter country to help with my terrible joints but now I can just loll in my own back garden, last summer was bliss!
I think that the pictures they are showing of the baby polar bears is sad though, their homes are literally disappearing, but will they adapt in the same way many other animlas have adapted?
