Global warming concerns the whole earth environment. It affects all humanity around the world, and let’s be wider, all living beings. It divides more and more people in the whole world. Those who agree that the process is happening fight with the ones who deny this fact. There is one main reason why so much doubt and discrepancies are observable: One is not able to witness any effects. We cannot see that something is really happening. Global warming is a quite slow process, especially in comparison with an average human life length. Every single sign, which due to the scientists confirms the genuineness of the global warming, can be easily explained by a few more simple reasons. Furthermore, common people do not understand that harsh winter does not deny the heating process in the macro scale.

Since the beginning of the twentieth century two major figures have risen in an enormous way. As it is easy to guess, the first one is average global temperature and the second one is an amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The rule is simple – the more CO2 is emitted, the warmer it gets.
The reasons of global warming are very simple: the increase of the number of people; change of oxygen into carbon dioxide during the process of breathing; emission of enormous amounts of greenhouse gases; deforestation, especially in the regions of the Amazon river and tropical rainforests in Africa. It decreases the natural possibility to change carbon dioxide into oxygen again.
Do we realize the threat we face? Well, yes, all developed countries agree that there is an issue we have to face. There are several different ideas how to fight it. The first and most obvious one is reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere. There are already set levels for new manufactured cars etc. But the problem is, not all the countries contribute to that. The European Union has recently set very strict regulations about pollution emissions. Our country may have huge problems with getting along with those regulations, as long as we rely on coal power plants.

I don't know how we can stop global warming, but I know that there are some actions take about it and many people are involved, for example Leonardo DiCaprio. He even mentioned it in his speech when he, finally, got his Oscar award. I believe that there is or will be his movie on National Geographic about it.
The Earth is warming, so all of a sudden we're in a crisis and it's our fault?
Earth is always changing and many people tend to avoid that thought or contradict their argument even if they admit that's true.
This Global Warming mess is a hoax. What's going to happen when the Earth starts cooling? Oh my god it's global cooling!
Humans released a new gas into the air causing Earth to cool down below the normal temperature.
Humans haven't started recording temperatures long enough to preach what is normal and what isn't.
Try recording temperature changes after a couple billion years, then we can say what's normal and what isn't.

I believe they should work on car's improvements and reducing gas emision instead of putting some irrational law in practice.
What makes me angry is worldwide deforestation process and common trees removing in Poland. We can't even cut out a middle tree on our own property without the appropriate permission but the government seems to has every right to remove every tree which they like, example: trees on the scarp next to Ochota station while they didn't interfere with the train track or 100 hundred years trees on Piastów station which were removed year ago because they built soundproof screen despite protests of all local people.
I love the argument that it’s all because of over-population. I believe it’s a serious problem nowadays. There are really too many people on this planet. And all of them want to live and be happy.
I think that with next generations the level of ecological awareness will increase. If we would invest enough in educational system, to produce this awareness in kids.

There is a great video ("sadly" in Polish) that I recommend to everyone who wants to learn more about global warming, made by Dawid Myśliwiec - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6AGGYD-fN8
There are many reasons why such thing is happening, majority of them are explained in the video above, and I feel like there isn't that much we can do to stop it. Without support of government forcing big companies and other countries to limit generation of CO2 and alike, it will only get worse.
I can't understand people who say 'I don't care' or 'Come on! Now there is global warming and in the future there will be global cooling'. We have big problem and need to solve it. I believe everybody can contribute to it with turning off the light, removing plugins from the sockets and so on. For every single person it is simple action (without any cost) but it is very important for our environment.
Let's say 'That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.' ;)
Year after year we are destroying life on the planet and then pay the price ourselves.. The weather is strange, the seasons are reversed, people are affected by pressure changes.Yet humanity doesn't want to admit that we are the ones to blame.
I really want to believe in a positive outcome, but let's be realistic: this is all about politics and it would be almost impossible to prevent this process, until the ruling people will decide to change something.
So I am really confused, who to believe? is it getting warmer or colder
And we have to understand, that human can’t prevent this from happing.
Every country should do everything they could to stop global warming. What can they do? Change to renewable energy, make big companies, which poison water, ground pay more taxes etc.
Trump's win in USA election made me worried about global fight with global warming, because in some article he said, that global warming is imagined problem made by China to attack american companies.
If USA, which is one of the biggest CO2 producers, stops fighting with global warming, we will need to speed up Mars colonization.
I wish we could do something but lets belive the politicans will wake up one day becouse they can do the most and they already destroyed much.
