With all respect I can see why people like to debate this point as it is not a black and white issue by any means. But can people stop saying 'global warming'? All it does is show that you don't know much about climate change, the earth isn't 'just' going to get warmer, just more extreme.

I mean for the past two years in England we have had two of the rainiest summers on record due to climate change. and it will continue.

The changes wont stop in some areas precipitation will increase and in some it will decrease. We will see failed crops and frequent flooding in some places and droughts in others.

My girlfriends dad did his PHd based on climate models and he has told me that the media overblow the situation very much, but he also says it is definitely happening and requires action.

I wish I could say it isn't happening, but to be quite frank I have read far too much evidence supporting the hypothesis. Even if it was a 50/50 issue for me I would still want to make energy saving sacrifices just in case, because I do not want to see my country potentially in ruins.

It upsets me that people are unwilling to make the minuscule sacrifices, it really does. I mean how much does a low energy bulb cost as opposed to a regular one?
