Why doesnt anyone care about Global Warming ?

Question

Usually people say

Oh well I ll be dead by then so I dont care. Im sick of hearing about it. We dont cause it.

What we dont cause pollution?

You dont care about other people dying ? That actually sad.

Me and my school are doing this project and all but its not like it will help. So many people just dont care.

Answer 1

i do, i always yell at my friends for littering.

Answer 2

If you care about the Global Warming MYTH so much then may I suggest you get rid of your computer, car, everything in your house, clothes, food, fuel to heat your house, cell phone and the list goes on and on, I got it, go live in a cave. And who is dying? A few years from now they will come out with a movie that says we are in a Global Warming period, just like they said in the eighties, a lot of you younger people didn't go through that Myth.

Answer 3

people are too lazy to do anything.

no one wants to stop driving there car.

and its too expensive to by an earth friendly car.

i guess.

no one really takes time to think about it, and if they do they just dont do anything about it

Answer 4

your pretty ignorant, all you hear about is how humans are emitting large amount of CO2 in the air, well i hate to break it to you but there are many more green house gases than CO2, the only reason you only hear about CO2 though is cause its the only man made green house gas. Methane which is produced by nature, is worse than CO2, i gram of methane warms the air 26 more times than CO2, trees release methane, in fact just one rain forest alone "dumps" hundreds of millions of methane in the air, if just one rain forest produces that much just imagine all the rain forests all over the world. Methane is just one example i could go on and on, so before you want to "make a difference" know a thing or two about what your talking about before you rant and rave, have a good day

Answer 5

It's the sick vain, greedy and non-caring adults that must be stopped and in the US, the only way to accomplish that is at the end of a barrell.

Answer 6

I have bigger fish to fry.

Answer 7

No one cares because its an issue that is worth millions and trying to fix it would take everyone minus the africans and other colonies of the sort, back to the stone age.  You seem like a smart gal, would u prefer to walk or ride an animal to great destinations?  Or would you rather drive and/or fly?  Would u sacrifice your luxuries to save this planet, not only that what if the world's damages are already permanent and continueously progressing as is?  HOpe this will help you understand the beginning of global warming.

Answer 8

Well if people who live in our planet would see how much trouble globle warming causes they would still do nothing and

sit in their couch it sucks!!!

Answer 9

The reason people don't do anything is mostly because they are lazy about it!  It's much easier to do nothing!  Leave it to the next guy.

I think you are great for thinking responsibly.  Even if you rub off on one other person and do your part then you impacted the world.

Just keep doing your thing with your school -- honest you will see--you will wake some people up!

Answer 10

Because we have no measurable effect nor do we control it. Would you spend billions of dollars to put the sun out? No, because it can not be done.

Answer 11

its not much of that people don't care.. its just that people don't think they can make a very big difference.

suppose you told them to recycle.. they would say why ... it wont matter if i don't recycle

but if 1000 people like that don't recycle you waste so much paper

i think people need to know that they are important to the environment and that the environment is important.

Answer 12

If you weren't so eager to listen to people trying to scare you, you would realize that a warming earth has many benefits as well as negative consequences.  The reason you don't hear about the benefits is because it doesn't fit the agenda of those that are trying to scare you.  The benefits will almost certainly outweigh the consequences (IMO).  It would have to get quite warm before that wasn't true and there is very little reason to believe that adding a little CO2 to the atmosphere is going to have any catastrophic effects.

Answer 13

No, it's not that so many people don't care, it's that they don't dwell on it like a neurosis.  The world is more complicated that an idyllic young individual like yourself can comprehend.  I suggest getting more education (which does not equate to more time in class) before you pass anymore judgments, and in the mean time get a hobby or something and enjoy your adolescence, time will soon complicate your life too.

Answer 14

Mike S... If you are going to quote me, then at least get the quote right:

Answer 15

I care too!!!!

Answer 16

Tha'ts so true. It really sucks to see that our world ahs come to be so apathetic.

But dont' say that you can't make a difference, because you CAN.

Answer 17

I care about global warming, I hate that we're ruining the only planet we have (to live on). I think people say they don't care, because they are in denial about the situation, and that they don't want to change their destructive ways. Some people are stuck in their ways, and they don't want to change.  

Personally, I have started living Green, to reduce my impact on the world.  I know that alone, I can do nothing, but alone, I can change something.

It's really terrible when people deny global warming and pollution, when there is the proof in the air, and on the ground, and in the water.  The chemicals and pollutants in the air, water, etc, didn't get there naturally.  They are man made, and put there by us. Only we can change what we are doing to our environment.  

I wish everyone in the world could think about what they are doing, see what we are doing and change their ways.

But you can not make people think or care about something, that they don't. And that truely is sad. People will always be defiant, regardless of how good or bad something is.  It's human nature.

Answer 18

many people care.

but there are also many who are so self centered that if it doesn't profit them, they don't.

says quite a lot about our society today.

as for nascar, far more gas is used by cars driving to the races than is used by the racers themselves.  the same applies for every event that people drive to.  you're just not going to get people to stay home and do nothing.

concerning kids starving Africa, that's quite a large problem.  the bad news is that, as oil and other energy becomes more scarce, it will only get worse.  more and more people will be concerned only about themselves.

just look at magazines on the racks today.  SELF.  US.  Fifty years ago, there wasn't this narcissistic obsession with ourselves.  such magazines would not have been successful.  it seems to me that our society is having a race with itself, which part of it can spiral downhill fastest.

OH YEAH, your question was about global warming.

some folks are worried that the price of gas will go up.

(it probably will.)

some folks are worried that they won't be able to have an SUV,  or that it will cost more.

(that's probably true as well.)

some folks that live in coal or oil country are worried about loss of jobs.

(that's probably not a major concern.)

some folks are worried about how much of their money will be spent addressing global warming.

(a valid concern.)

quite a number are just not worried about what's going to happen to their children and grandchildren.

consider, when the country runs a deficit, it's taking money from the children.

Bush has spent $3 trillion dollars that he didn't have.

That's $30,000 for every single kid in this country.

for all your life, you have to pay interest on your share of that $30,000.

it's like having a mortgage that you cannot get out of paying.

that's the moral state of this country today.

if you've watched politics, you might note that every politician says there will be tax cuts.

the reason is that no politician will get elected if he or she says they will increase taxes.

that is, unless you say you'll steal from the next generation, you cannot get elected.

one would hope you find that more than a little disgusting.

oh, and have a nice day.

Answer 19

AGW and GW cannot be proven with the enormous lack of data.  120 years out of 4 billion?  Come on....

Nobody denies that the sun creates 99.999999999999% of the earth's warmth, so why worry.

Answer 20

Take heart. Many,many thousands of people DO care about all the things you mentioned, and much more. If you care, then that is one more who does.

Keep the faith!
