We are all not very conscious of what we do, and this is a great problem. Every minute there is destruction going on, but we do not care. If we really care about the state of the world, then we would stand and fight for the right. However, most of us do not know what is right and wrong. High percentage of people is ignorant of the truth.
In the Bible it is stated "...Know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
This is very clear and precise because only by knowing the real truth can solve this whole tragic and dilemma.
Currently, we are faced with the most heavy choice of our life is whether to change or not. We must make the choice early before its too late. Consequently, we are offered tons of opportunities to change; nonetheless. we still cling to the old dirty habits.
Subsequently, we think on how we can change; unfortunately, we don't know the right thing to do, so we end up creating more and more problems.
First thing we must do is to ask ourselves, if we are really ready to take any challenges that comes with.
Second, consider and analyze our personal problems because you cannot help someone if you cannot help yourself.
Third, focus and motivation is required.
Fourth, goal and objectives should be set.
Fifth, we must be conservative and self preservative and conscious in what we do.
The last but not the least, we must focus on the solution other than to dwell on the problem.
Consider this factors because this can help a person really change his or her lifestyle. We must understand that it is our lifestyle that's destroying our world.

The New Science
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

Facts
In the 24 hours since this time today, over 200,000 acres of rain forest have been destroyed in our world. Fully 13 million tons of toxic chemicals have been released into our environment. Over 45,000 people have died of starvation, 38,000 of them children. And more than 130 plant or animal species have been driven to extinction by the actions of humans. (The last time there was such a rapid loss of species was when the dinosaurs vanished.) And all this just today.
We all do not know where we are heading with this great lost. Our planet where we all live is just crumbling down on us because of our undying desire to enjoy this world.
If we do not make a move then this world is going to be a pigsty.
"We have had our last chance. If we do not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door."

Causes of Global Warming
What Causes Global Warming?
Scientists have spent decades figuring out what is causing global warming. They've looked at the natural cycles and events that are known to influence climate. But the amount and pattern of warming that's been measured can't be explained by these factors alone. The only way to explain the pattern is to include the effect of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by humans.

To bring all this information together, the United Nations formed a group of scientists called the International Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The IPCC meets every few years to review the latest scientific findings and write a report summarizing all that is known about global warming. Each report represents a consensus, or agreement, among hundreds of leading scientists.
One of the first things scientists learned is that there are several greenhouse gases responsible for warming, and humans emit them in a variety of ways. Most come from the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories and electricity production. The gas responsible for the most warming is carbon dioxide, also called CO2. Other contributors include methane released from landfills and agriculture (especially from the digestive systems of grazing animals), nitrous oxide from fertilizers, gases used for refrigeration and industrial processes, and the loss of forests that would otherwise store CO2.
Different greenhouse gases have very different heat-trapping abilities. Some of them can even trap more heat than CO2. A molecule of methane produces more than 20 times the warming of a molecule of CO2. Nitrous oxide is 300 times more powerful than CO2. Other gases, such as chlorofluorocarbons (which have been banned in much of the world because they also degrade the ozone layer), have heat-trapping potential thousands of times greater than CO2. But because their concentrations are much lower than CO2, none of these gases adds as much warmth to the atmosphere as CO2 does.
In order to understand the effects of all the gases together, scientists tend to talk about all greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO2. Since 1990, yearly emissions have gone up by about 6 billion metric tons of "carbon dioxide equivalent" worldwide, more than a 20% increase.Expand/Collapse This

Catch 22
Global dimming and global warming both are harmful however if we try to solve one the other one will be stronger. Both are very controversial.
