1. We have been cooling last 6-7 years...soo...yes

2. As soon as all the oil is gone, or we stop using it

3. Likely not, as Iran is about to go live, with Russia's help

I have news for you.  Neither of those three things are going to cause Earth to suffer much.  It will still be here for at least a few billion more years.  One or more of them may muck up your plans, but there really isn't much need to worry about Earth.

Man Caused Global Warming is bogus. Al Gore is getting sued by the weather Channel for scamming hundreds of millions of dollars from carbon credits and Ethanol.

Mount St. Helens alone has put more pollution in the atmosphere than humans have ever done.

Global Warming is natural.

I believe half of that, And i believe half of what Al Gore says. In my mind, I think that Global Warming IS natural, what could've caused the last Ice Age thousands of years ago? I believe that humans are just speeding everything up, adding a little bit everyday

I am always amazed by those that tink that global warming can only from one result. Oh it has to be from natural means only or it can only be from man.

I have always been under the belief that it is from many different sources of them the sun, carbon output from natural sources such as volcanoes, and from man. I just believe that since only one of these we can control then we should try to manage it as much as possible.

In answer to the original questions

Global Warming is something that will happen throughout the furture of the Earth but we can control how much we contribute (no matter the small percentage)

Terrorist Attacks: I don't believe this is going to destroy the Earth but I also don't think it will ever be copmletely stopped. There will always be fanatics and always be someone willing to do unimaginable things to masses of people (some if not most of these I think just want attention for themselves not a cause). This again we can try to manage but stopping will next to impossible

Nuclear War: I also don't think this will "destroy" the Earth but human civilization is possible. I do think that it is more likely though that nuclear weapons will remain so controlled that it is extremely unlikely that human civilization would be destroyed

I am sure your meaning was more in reference to the way we live today but as far as the Earth itself is concerned it has survived more than we could ever do to it, but there many things out there that could ruin things for humans even to the point of extinction. The likelyhood of any of these events is fairly rare.

Would you care to bring some data on St.Helens? I claim that you're dead wrong, and the famous warming effect of volcanoes is a two edged sword.....maybe you know why?

Question is, who first? Israel or us?
Israel will hit Iran first with out question. They won't mess about posturing if there is a real threat from Iran the Israelis will just do it no fuss no bother.

"Critical mass" is the way forward.

It's my opinion that part of this should involve the conscience of the politicians.  Their awareness of their responsibility to the people.

Funny how every day folks from all over the planet think the same or have very similar values.  Yet the minute you vote for a politician he no longer works for the "people", our values.  They get drawn into  this strange self perpetuating system called the "state".  The "state" will be our undoing.  We the people shouldn't be dictated to by an invisible force.  By an anomaly but by people thinking for people.

It is time we all just got along and Critical Mass is needed to push the ideal out there.  Especially in our internet world where individuals can learn or appreciate each others thoughts and values.

Bout time the people told the politicians to chill out and take care of home business......all over the world.

Hmmm...to think different within the realms of a movement of such?
Thinking of world peace, or the lack of will to kill one another, I always belived that the more people get to know other cultures and countries, the better. For that will teach you that there are good people everywhere, and bad people can be anywhere. They don't necessarily go by the clusters...

1. No..it is a natural cycle. The Sun has it's cycles too. Species evolve / die as the planet changes (always been like this)

2. No. They are hiding behind every tree. They have been ever since Oog believed something different from Erok.

3. Maybe. But that would depend on every nation willingly giving up their nuclear weapons programs. And I mean EVERY nation.
   pretty unrealistic, but a Maybe nontheless.

No,
 There is no chance, because no one will do anything about anything.

At least my children will know the fun of sitting in the alert hanger.

Sorry, humans are not that smart.

But....then again, maybe nothing will happen because no one cares.
