Indeed, there are some possibilities that global warming could even have positive effects.
Floods and disease would help to stabilize population. This solves population growth and helps diversify life around the world. It can also give more natural organisms a chance to regain control over coastal and other affected regions from humans.
Ice cap melt can be harnessed to provide a supply of fresh water, reducing the need for desalinization. This would prevent the change in salinity in the ocean and help create a surplus in case of droughts.
The new climate could give rise to new species and different behaviors by existing species, creating academic growth and more job opportunities for science. All kinds of people, from meteorologists to biologists, would be able to work together to learn and figure out what the tipping point is for the mass destruction of life on earth.
Warmer weather might even cause milder weather and help agriculture. Longer growing seasons, CO2, and more sunlight and water would help crops, causing prosperity and success. Exotic fruits and vegetables like mangoes and coconuts will have a better environment to grow throughout the world.
Somewhat less important...
Beach resorts will have greater business and help the economy. The water will be warmer to swim in, and people will be able to get better tans. :) This would help professionals and world leaders to relax from the high-stress lifestyle and prevent irritations and anger that could lead to things like nuclear war.

Global warming :|
Global warming is not a problem that ought to be addressed in international governments and schools throughout the world.
First, the effects of global warming are not sufficient to justify taking attention away from other world problems, such as nuclear arms production and economic depression. These problems are not only much more immediate and have a smaller time frame, but they are also easier to prevent.
Global warming is a steady increase in global temperature. While this may cause some species to become extinct, this is not a real problem because life will continue. Academically, if we know that a species is extinct, then we already have data and information about that organism in order to observe that it has disappeared.
The extinction of species could cause the disruption of the ecological balance in nature, but I would like to bring attention to the fact that although the human race simply living on this planet has disrupted and even destroyed many species habitats and lives, there has been no global suicide on our part to restore the balance of nature.
Both of these failures to act are a product of the fact that all life wants to survive. Physically, humans are terribly inadequate to survive in nature. With no wings, claws, fangs, strength, speed, endurance, or senses, the only advantage given to our race was in the mind. Thus in order to protect ourselves from a dangerous environment, we created a new one by destroying the old. Withdrawal from technology only gives up human's dominance over other creatures, as some religions state, and unfortunately most people cannot survive in competition to the forces and creatures in nature.
Attempting to halt global warming only postpones the inevitable. Even if human beings didn't exist on earth, ice ages and heat waves would come and go. The dinosaurs lived in a tropical climate but were extinct in the ice age, where animals like mammoths and saber toothed tigers roamed the land. Then these creatures passed away or evolved into the biospectrum we see today. Life on earth has survived climate changes, however severe, even if the lifestyles or even types of different organisms changed. We cannot hope to prevent a climate change forever, so there is no reason to be preoccupied with global warming.

Global warming :(
Global warming causes flucuations in the temperature of the earth. This makes weather conditions throughout the world more extreme. Storms and natural disasters will become more frequent and more severe, causing mass destruction and death. Droughts and harsh storms can destroy agricultural land as well.
The sudden change in temperature hurts all life on earth, including but not limited to humans. Organisms in the water are greatly affected by the change in ocean temperature, and are unable to survive in the new conditions. Climate changes for land plants and animals can also harm the wild life. The melting of the polar ice caps reduces habitat size for animals like penguins, polar bears, and seals.
Besides species extinction, this melting also causes a rise in the sea level. Coastal regions will flood, destroying more homes than Katrina or Rita. Storms over these warm waters will have even more power. The unpredictable weather will make it even harder to prepare and recover.
Since coastal populations will have to move inland, the increased population density will increase chances of disease, and epidemics will spread even faster.

Global warming 101
Global warming is the gradual increase in global temperatures caused by the emission of gases that trap the sun's heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Gases that contribute to global warming include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, sulfur hexafluoride chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and halocarbons (the replacements for CFCs).
There are many causes of global warming and several ways to emit greenhouse gases. Fossil fuels, cars, smokestacks, excessive tilling of new land, and population growth in general.
There have been many attempts to call this problem to global awareness, and even the UNFCCC has done something. The Kyoto Protocol mandates that all ratifying countries reduce emissions of the above six greenhouse gases.

Are You Happy?
These are all different ways of saying "are you happy?"
You can try to figure them out if you want.

AP courses
Some one needs to rethink this system.
Students take college courses, Advanced Placements, during high school, so that they can get into a college that provides them.
At some point, people will take all their college classes during high school and get out with a diploma and a degree. :)

Going with the flow
My mom told me that sometimes you have to go with the flow...
but anything that flows is going down.
