why does no one care
Why are people not concerned with the environment? Why are people more concerned with the costs of saving our planet than the future of it? I don't understand why governments don't just unite [I know it's naive] and face the problems that we have, especially global warming. Because of global warming, the ice caps will melt, water levels will rise, and the poles will become extremely overheated, all while the population continues to increase. And no one takes action, so our children will have to suffer.
Why do people just blow it off? =[

excellent question i have often thohut about this, im only 16 but im tryin to look for ways to not cause so much of green house gases when i grow up an get cars an whatever, but i think the reason why people blow it off is that they fail to see any real HARD EVIDENCE, theres not much awareness for people, they know its there but theyre waiting for some one else to do somthing about it, it may not seem like they dont care as they think they cant do anything towards it. the again there are just the idiots who think Oh great hotter summers soon, i would rather have one day of heat than an eternal heat blast, we can ALL do somthing if we do somthing others will follow if theres some one allreay doing this join them even if its recycling or anything JUST DO IT! you know its gonna help so dont no one reading this get lazy and just put plastic in the bin RECYCLE it will all help in some way or another globaly or not, but for now im gonna get lookin at how to cut carbon emmisions from cars

becuase people dont want to spend money because theyre selfish. if no one is going to do anything about it, then you should. maybe start a group?

because people are too damn busy worrying about stupid shit like brittney spears going bald...
Simple as that, Thinking requires too much work, so people allow our "leaders" to do it for them.
Screw that.

People don't care because they're selfish,greedy,and lazy by nature.Instead of doing something that would benefit the world as a whole,they would rather do something to benefit their own desires.Instead of getting up and making a difference,they would rather sit around and do something unproductive,and watch the world deteriorate in the process.Instead of spending for a good cause that could benefit everyone in the now and in the future,they would rather waste money on things that they don't really need.
It's funny,because they see some people fighting for a cause that's so great,and they know how great it is.They're just too stupid to follow suite and do the same.People need to realize what a beautiful place the world is,and that once it's gone,it won't just be rebuilt.
Once it is gone,everyone that never cared will act surprised,as if they had no idea.It's sad, really.

Well, I personally don't think it is true.
You have Gore on Oprah talking about global warming...
Then Dennis Miller on Letterman with a Newsweek or
Time magazine (can't remember which) article from the 70's spouting the same story...only difference is its global COOLING they are worried about.
I think everyone should do their best to keep our
environment healthy. But there are just as many scientists saying this is a normal progression.
Anyone with an agenda can make a story sound good. I am always leery of any politician wanting their name in the news. I'm sure I am not alone. :)

people don't care anymore they only thnk of themselves, they don't think of the conqueses. Don't think about those things that say we are going to die in fifty years, because nobody knows when we are going to die. hope you like my advice(well it wasn't really advice)

I agree with your concerns. Its something that I have often wondered about, particularly with some governments (mentioning no names) that consistently prioritise economic growth over the environment. And while a few governments struggle to contain pollution, others pat themselves on the back when they score an economic victory over them.
I just dont understand what goes through their minds. Its not like these people don't have children, so they should be somewhat concerned about the future. What I think happens is that they turn a blind eye. I think to a lot of them its a little like fiction... they don't really consider environmental collapse a reality.
People have always tended not to be able to think outside their reality. They think the status quo will last forever, and it never does.
So, while greed certainly plays a role, I go for ignorance and stupidity. Unfortunately all too common traits within governments today. They are so blinded by the criteria that they will be judged on in the short term (GDP growth, current account balance, foreign investment, inflation, whatever) that their brains wont acknowledge that this reality could be totally shattered.
Like goldfish in a bowl, they simply cant conceive that the glass could ever break.
