Global warming: some people believe it to be true, others believe it to just be a theory and nothing more.
But what if society treated it as an actual, real situation? Would there be any downside or downsides to trying to conserve energy? Maybe it's just me, but why are people against it to begin with? Why should we have to live with all these gases constantly being pumped into the air we breathe?
Sure, people have the right to disagree with it; there are scientists who believe it to be factual and also have the science to back up that claim. On the other side, there are scientists who don't believe the idea to be true, and have information to back up that claim. Why, though, does that have to mean people can still overuse non-renewable sources? Just because you don't believe in global warming doesn't mean you have the right to buy a huge gas-guzzling car, among other things. If you don't believe in it, then don't believe in it, but try to take some steps to reduce how much energy you use and all of that.
I notice that much of our government doesn't consider global warming as a huge issue, many deny it, but why not? Why can't we stop using certain resources right now? Why do people still pump oil? Even if someone thinks that emissions don't harm our environment, oil is an earth-made resource that's running out, and will one day be gone. Why can't we build electrically powered cars more than we do currently? Not for the sake of the environment, per se, but because one day there won't be any type of fuel-- then what? Will we be stuck with cars that don't run on anything BUT gas?
Why do people think that by denying global warming, they have the right to continue on wasting energy? Why can't people say, "okay, I don't believe in global warming, but I'll do my part"?
Ironically enough, the people who refuse to believe in global warming are people who want an excuse to continue using waaaay too much energy; the people who send out carbon emissions like they're not going to feel the effects of it in the future. Maybe they won't be around for it. But even if nothing happens, and this is just a normal cycle of the earth (scientists who disagree with the theory say that the earth has gone through this type of cycle before humans were even here), why can't people, no matter their opinions, take steps to try and make a change?
Why do people need to see proof that the world is getting worse in order to try to better it?

why would people waste energy knowing that it will create an adverse effect on their environment even if they don't buy the idea of global warming?I don't get the point why such people ignore this serious threat .They don't have another planet to escape into ,do they?
That's what I was trying to say. I don't know why people think they can disagree with the idea and get away with wasting so much energy.
Sorry if I didn't state it clearly enough >_>
Omega has asked a lot of questions here. I have tried to answer them all here.
"Maybe it's just me, but why are people against it to begin with?"
I think making stereotypes about those of us who don't believe in the whole global warming fiasco is a bad move.
About 30 years ago, there was a whole hot button fiasco with global ice age, now it's global warming. It's political agenda... and it seems like a lot of us have fallen into the trap.
