Global Warming

Do you think global warming is real?
Yes. The data and science behind it is pretty sound. Not even the conservatives can deny it. However, I think that some people believe that it is happening way too fast. While I believe we can affect the environment with greenhouse gases, I doubt that we are only to blame with the recent warm cycle.
Do you think that the media and businesses are hyping global warming too much?
Sometimes yes. Those wanting to make a profit tend to overreact about it. It is happening, it can happen, but there are much more important things to broadcast in the news, like Tiger Woods and Octomom (I joke)
Do you think that we, as a society, should switch to greener energy?
Yes. I work on a lake and let me tell you, it's disgusting. We as a society need to start recycling, switching to greener energy, and just overall being conscious of what we are doing not only to the environment but also the places we live in. It's gross living near a junkyard or landfill or near a lake that has been polluted like crazy in. To me, it's the same as not showering or keeping up with personal hygiene; it affects everyone around you!
Do you think the idea of global warming is being pushed onto society?
No. It's pretty solidly proven. The degree to which it is happening is debatable. It's not being pushed enough sometimes.
Do you think global warming is human caused or is it just nature?
Global warming, by definition, is human caused. If it were nature, it would be a natural cycle. This current situation is a combination of both.
