What about air pollution, ocean, rivers and soil chemization,...?
what about these issues? edible marine life is about to go extinct in 40 years. Few drinkable water, destruction of ecosystems (rainforest's).
Intoxication with heavy metals,...
there are tons of more threatening short term issues that get no media attention.
an interesting note my microbiology professor told us...in the Great lakes in the US there are very, very few left species because of a mollusk that came form the Caspian sea in the ballast water from ships.
most people don't even realize what kind of dangers are there more threatening than global warming!
i'd rather live in the cold/warm than live in a swamp saturated with toxic waste, acids, heavy metals,...
barely anyone talks about the insect infestation we're going to face due to warming. diseases everywhere folks! think about it
here are some topics to talk about if you are too lost:

and millions more. there are so many things that will kill you before global warming even farts in your direction (hmm...weird phrase?!)
