Why is are people still poluting the world, why arent they listening?

Question

dont people know that they are putting their own lives in danger, their children, their families?

are you that kind off person?

Answer 1

do u drive a car? ride in one? produce trash? Are you a ghost on this planet?

Answer 2

because some people believe that global warming isnt happening. they believe that it is the changing of the weather, which is normal.

Answer 3

Well, everyone is that kind of person, as everyone else has said. Sometimes people don't want to believe something because they know that it's true and don't want to worry themselves about something that they think they can't control.

And people keep on saying how our life expectancies have doubled since the Industrial Revolution, right? Well, it doesn't matter how long OUR life expectancy is. If the earth ended right now, it wouldn't matter if we were expected to live until 890 years old. The world would still end, and everyone would still die, no matter their age.

So what really matters isn't how long we're going to live. It's how long the Earth can survive until we completely destroy it.

That new Pixar movie, Wall-E? They have the right idea.

Answer 4

A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here.  The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

Answer 5

Let's see:  Yesterday I DIDN'T hunt down game with a bow, I didn't make my own clothing from the hide, I didn't bury my f***s in the woods, I didn't eat my food raw, I didn't go without bathing, and I didn't sit in the dark after the sun set....

Yep, I'm one of THOSE kinds of people.

Answer 6

If you really think modern living is endangering lives, why is it that life expectancy has more than doubled since the Industrial Revolution?  Would you prefer to go back to a world where waking up with a slight fever meant death by sundown and where 8 out of 10 children died before the age of 10?

Answer 7

Erase that idea in your mind...People are not polluting the world and they are not listening..They just dont understand or not fully aware the consequences of their actions. This is a world wide problem needs to be addressed seriously. World-wide campaign and proper disseminateion must be done by the  government of each country., so that each and everyone would understand.

Answer 8

People don't know that because not everyone shares your beliefs.

Some people think that the world is gradually getting better.

Answer 9

Do you still drive a car, live in a house, watch TV, use your computer, have electric lights, and wear clothes made from anything other than dry leaves? Then you're that kind of person too.

Answer 10

Some people are some people aren't

The problem is we can't have some not polluting and others polluting. Unless we all work together to stop this problem the consequences will be very bad indeed (i.e. extinction).

Just continue to do what you can including others to do their parts as well. At some point critical mass can be achieved where the social and pressures of the law will keep those who chose to remain mindless about this issue in check.

Keep up the good fight
