But do those "pros" outweigh the long list of "cons"?

1) Increased evaporation
2) Extreme Weather
3) Destabilization of local climates
4) Rise in sea levels, temperatures, acid rain, and decrease/shutdown of thermo-circulation
5) Change in ecology
6) Glacier retreat
7) Methane release from melting permafrost
8) Forest fires
9) Polar Icecap Melt
Those are just environmental issues related to the potential effects of Global warming.

Economic:
1) Decline in agriculture
2) Insurance
3) Flood defense
4) Migration
5) Water scarcity

Health wise we get in to the potential for new strains of disease and more people with such issues as asthma.

I’m currently a student at a university that is very dedicated to sustainable development and environmental issues. I get the opportunity to watch debates about environmental problems including global warming on a regular basis and the issue should of concern to the world. Some believe its just a gimmick and such. But scientists and researchers really to believe its slowly creeping up on us and when it does start to affect us personally at a higher degree it will be to late to take action.

I don’t want to get in to details but those are just my 2 cents.
