What, in your opinion, is the biggest environmental problem faced by the world today?

Overpopulation, and in most cases in places that have the least ability to deal with it, but are the ones that need to control it the most because that severely limits a societies ability to provide

enough resources for everyone, weather that's jobs or food or clean water or whatever.What, in your opinion, is the biggest environmental problem faced by the world today?pollutionWhat, in your opinion, is the biggest environmental problem faced by the world today?

It's global warming.What, in your opinion, is the biggest environmental problem faced by the world today?
global warming
Al Gore



And for you global warming people: I heard on TV that they expect the average temperature to rise 1/2 of one degree in the next 100 years. WOW !!!What, in your opinion, is the biggest environmental problem faced by the world today?
Global warming...the ice caps are melting away. This will affect the temperature (it will become warmer) and the water levels.
Greedy CEOs
Environmentalist
Religion.
If we could just kill the greenpeace nuts, the PETA people, and the global warming fools we would have a much safer and saner world. Good for man and the cuddley little food sources scampering around in the forests of natural resources.
Deforestation mixed with air pollution. More and more pollution while less and less trees.
I believe we are. Not only people in America, but throughout the world. There's too much waste, too much garbage, too much use of fossil fuels. Thankfully, these problems are being addressed. Let's hope we can solve them before we reach the point of no return.
The global warming myth being put out for people to think is fact rather than fiction.

Drives me nuts that my kids are even taught it in school. Unbelivable that fantast has replaced science so quickly.
That's a tough one, but you can make a blanket answer with "Pollution". That applies to everything, from oil spoils to smog. From landfills to sewers.



Actually, I guess the biggest environmental problem faced by the world is "People". As long as we're here, there are going to be many problems.
Dependence on fossil fuels leading to a variety of transportation- and industrial-processes-rooted pollution scenarios. Factory-farmed beef and deforestation are a close second and third, in no particular order.



Read The Skeptical Environmentalist for some reliable numbers.
i would say "LAND POLLUTION" , "GLOBAL WARMING" , "DEFORESTATION and "PAPULATION EXPLOSION".
MAN



Our lack of understanding for the cradle of life----Our Biosphere.



We are killing our home and the home of thousands of other species. Its called progress.



We do not co-exist with our planet, we are not that smart yet. We only destroy for our needs. We are not smart enough to see what we really need.
Pollution %26amp; waste management (trash, oil, chemicals, etc...)



It's everywhere %26amp; we keep consuming, creating even more of it...a vicious cycle.
People using energy inefficiently.
Democrats and liberals driving their big SUVs, going to "save the world concerts", talking a bunch of crap, and doing absolutely nothing about it.
i feel its gotta b terrorism.though there are other environmental natural problems, terrorism is sumthin wich is within us n needs 2 b banished.
Air pollution... all the volatile molecules...
Overpopulation.....eventually it leads to the global warming through the needs of people.
The exploitation of third world developing countries to circumvent environmental and pollution standards(Nafta).
The piled up "waste" in the landfills.

I feel that we all should recycle every item that can be used/re-made again for another purpose.

I have members in our own family who seem smart in every way, but they are tooooo lazy to recycle. Apparently it is too much of a task to sort out the trash and place it in its proper bins for the garbage man to haul away. They will only learn to do this when their pick-up is refused at the curb. This is already happening in some European countries.
Obviously man made pollutants, however the current debate is rather ridiculous. Rather than focusing on doing what we can to prevent pollution we have debates about our "carbon index." You look at the people preaching it the hardest and their lives don't reflect what they say. Al Gore is hardcore about the environment, but lives in a house with $30,000 utility bill. he claims that he offsets that by paying "carbon credits" but if he really felt that we were in such danger he would live in a normal size house but still pay his current amount of carbon credits creating a net plus rather than breaking even. The Earth Day concerts leave D.C. trashed every year, and the Concert Around the Globe had stars travel a total of 22,000 miles by jet airliner. The hypocrisy shows that they are not serious about what they preach, and the reality is that no one really believes that by driving to work every day that they are bringing humans closer to extinction. Environmentalists need to stop concentrating on scare tactics and drive to show people little things they can do every day within their lives that can make a difference. The science is still out on global warming, even though they global warmist would like you to think that it is a majority consensus it is not by a long shot. They also like to make people think that people who don't believe that humans cause global warming also don't want to do anything about pollution, which is also false. Beware of scare tactics and always do your homework. Be sure to hold all people who uphold a cause up to the same standard they want to hold everyone else up to.
The use of oil and coal or fossil fuels when water would do. In 1965 I saw a new military vehicle that used water for fuel. It just disappeared most likely due to the efforts of oil companies. How could they survive if we could use water for fuel?
