Which should we be worrying about: Global warming, or acid rain and similar pollution?

Question

Think about this: If we get even the maximum global warming, the ice melts. Poles warm up. A few species die. Coasts flood. OK, well that's bad. But acid rain and other pollutants destroy far more species: Poisons in water kill fish and plants, acid rain kills many acres of trees, destroying ecosystems. I think that's worse, personally. First, put in the scrubbers. Then stop the fossil fuels. Anyway, if the planet does warm, the poles will warm a lot more than the rest of the planet, potentially giving us more space to live and grow food. and let's worry about deforestation first, too. That even causes global warming. And let's not forget how much coal America has for the taking--lot's of energy to use.

Answer 1

A way we can reverse the effect is by putting democrats in volcanoes to clog it up.

Answer 2

Global cooling

Answer 3

You are right. But there are more consequences to global warming than that. And yes, America does have a lot of coal to use but eventually that will run out too. If we don't start doing something now, we will be in deep trouble later. I think they're both big problems.

Answer 4

not that bad !!

listen up ,if the poles melt , it'll cause the coast to rise  by 50 meters , causing 500 million people to migrate inland , this will put a strain on resources ,

famine will be global causing world wide starvation

and they estimate over 40% of all species will be affected ,

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF GLOBAL WARMING

Answer 5

We should be most concerned with acid rain and AMD (acid mine drainage), mercury, fly ash, and all the other pollutants that we KNOW exist and need cleaned out of our environment.  These are not theories, ideas, or speculation.  They are already here in front of us. They have already ruined our streams and air.  While working to stop these pollutants and their causes, we will already be working on the cleaner and greener planet.  Hopefully, making a more healthy environment for the future.

Answer 6

The solutions are pretty much the same for all of them. I think that's what we need to know.
