Answer 3

yes I am. But what you should do though is not worry too much about it and do what you can do yourself to help prevent it. No fun going though life worrying about this and that. i suppose you're not going to have kids for a good few years anyways.

Answer 5

Thats a large issue for a 12yr. old to tackle so I'll tell you a little story. Back in 5th grade I had to watch a movie that showed what the world would be like without water and that at our current consumption we'd run out by the time I was an adult. So I started filling mason jars with water and buried them in the back yard. Needless to say I feel kind of silly about it now but when I saw that movie I was deathly afraid of not having water later in life. Global warming is like that there will be affects such as increased cases of skin disease and perhaps higher water levels, etc and though I agree that we should try to prevent any further global warming (I'll let the people who are far wiser answer how) But it is nothing to excessivly worry about some things may change but life will go on and we will continue living the way we always do.

Answer 6

NO.

Answer 7

No, you shouldn't be scared.  But you should be concerned.

We can fix this.  And you can have kids and drive a car (probably an electric or a fuel cell).

We don't need to stop doing things, we just need to do them smarter.  Here's the plan:

Answer 8

I am enjoying global warming.  Ten thousand years ago, not very long, it was so cold that glaciers covered the American Midwest and even New York under a mile of ice.  Nothing could live there.  Thanks to global warming, the glaciers are melting away and letting forests grow, and animals can live in those forests. We enjoy all the new open land too.

Living on a glacier sucks.

Life loves a greenhouse!

Answer 9

no we should melt them polar bears for ever
