It isn't global warming, well at least global warming isn't the root of the problem.

In a word, it is: Consumption.

DHMO used
as an industrial solvent and coolant,
in nuclear power plants,
by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels,
by elite athletes to improve performance,
in the production of Styrofoam,
in biological and chemical weapons manufacture,
in the development of genetically engineering crops and animals,
as a spray-on fire suppressant and retardant,
in so-called "family planning" or "reproductive health" clinics,
as a major ingredient in many home-brewed bombs,
as a byproduct of hydrocarbon combustion in furnaces and air conditioning compressor operation,
in cult rituals,
by the Church of Scientology on their members and their members' families (although surprisingly, many members recently have contacted DHMO.org to vehemently deny such use),
by both the KKK and the NAACP during rallies and marches,
by members of Congress who are under investigation for financial corruption and inappropriate IM behavior,
by the clientele at a number of bath houses in New York City and San Francisco,
historically, in Hitler's death camps in Nazi Germany, and in prisons in Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Libya, Iraq and Iran,
in World War II prison camps in Japan, and in prisons in China, for various forms of torture,
during many recent religious and ethnic wars in the Middle East,
by many terrorist organizations including al Quaeda,
in community swimming pools to maintain chemical balance,
by software engineers, including those producing DICOM software SDKs,
in animal research laboratories, and
in pesticide production and distribution.

What you may find surprising are some of the products and places where DHMO is used, but which for one reason or another, are not normally made part of public presentations on the dangers to the lives of our family members and friends. Among these startling uses are:
as an additive to food products, including jarred baby food and baby formula, and even in many soups, carbonated beverages and supposedly "all-natural" fruit juices
in cough medicines and other liquid pharmaceuticals,
in spray-on oven cleaners,
in shampoos, shaving creams, deodorants and numerous other bathroom products,
in bathtub bubble products marketed to children,
as a preservative in grocery store fresh produce sections,
in the production of beer by all the major beer distributors,
in the coffee available at major coffee houses in the US and abroad,
in Formula One race cars, although its use is regulated by the Formula One Racing Commission, and
as a target of ongoing NASA planetary and stellar research.

You could say all the same things about H2o (almost).

What's so special about DHMO?

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.

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.
