It isn't global warming, well at least global warming isn't the root of the problem.
In a word, it is: Consumption.

we should also look at this noxious chemical which is everywhere

something needs to be done
For a moment there i thought this thread would give top tips on how to clear up genitail warts once and for all.
Should have known better.
the dangers are
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
Contributes to soil erosion.
Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
DHMO is water (sorry if i dont get the joke), DHMO is just another name for water. Sorry but i think you have been let on, there are a few hoaxes like this on the net at the moment. If you got a MSDS for sodium chloride you could list all the nasty things, just like DHMO.
LOL, just found the survey they did and 74% of ppl decided that it should be banned. Thus the power of deception and misconception... silly world.
Gee I'm getting Deja Vu ... Oh I remember now, the great Al Gore and his "global warming the end of the world is at hand" crap!
When I went to uni and did some politics courses I used to listen to people like this. Back then they were Marxists. Nowdays they are environmentalists.
What are we gonna do? Start growing cotton and making our own sails? Start growing balsa wood trees and carving out boards?
Sure the answer to many problems is reducing consumption. However who wants to get up at 5am without any breakfast, walk 5 kms to till your field and hope the locusts won't eat your crop? If they do then you can look forward to starvation in the winter.
Fact is people generally take the easy option when given a choice. Its easier watching TV on a big plasma than a black and white 28 cm job. Its easier driving to work than walking. Its easier to go down to the shop to buy some fish than to catch your own.
Whats the answer to the real problem? There probably isn't an answer. We will continue on our merry way till either we achieve a huge breakthrough in technology which allows us to exploit nature with no impact or we run our environment into the ground and our civilization collapses. The third way is we try and muddle through it like humanity has done before and someone make it.
Perhaps the answer is space exploration and colonisation. Its a big galaxy out there and there are probably enough planets for each person to have their own.
