global warming is not caused by us.
and really there isn't much of it.
the northern glaciers yes are melting.
BUT the southern glaciers are growing rapidly.
many cargo ships had to reroute due to glacier expansion.
and all the carbon we emit the trees turn it straight into oxygen.
plus carbon dioxide doesn't effect our planet that much.
the whole in the ozone layer is basically to let some of the atmosphere to escape so we don't heat up TOO much.

As has been said, but glossed over, water vapor is more of an enemy than CO2.

Quick two-part quiz.

b)
95.32% carbon dioxide
2.7% Nitrogen
1.6% Argon
0.13% Oxygen
0.07% Carbon Monoxide
0.03% Water Vapor
trace neon, krypton, xenon, ozone, methane

Venus's atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide(about 97%) and is much hotter than Earth's. Its between 400-500 Celcius.

We have some more pressing matters we should focus on instead of an uncertain climate state.

Peak Oil - This can lead to large scale energy crisis and politic affects are a bit scary. We really need to get closer to oil independence.

Clean Drinking water - Most large cities or cities in general get there water from underground aquifers, which take thousands of years to fully replenish. Most of our fresh water is locked up in glaciers and polar ice.

Oceans Ecosystems - Large amounts of sewage and fertilizers are being dumped into the oceans and effectively choking marine life as its sucking up a ton of oxygen. We are over fishing and as the worlds population grows the worse it'll get.

Deforestation - Think we all know what this means.

Nuclear Weapons - There are about 20,000 nuclear weapons just sitting there still active. With countries like Iran, Pakistan, and North Korea developing nuclear weapons and countries like Syria seeking out a nuclear program, we can't ignore how dangerous this situation is getting. Especially when you have Putin threatening European countries with nuclear annihilation.

With the science on global warming still being unclear and with more pressing matters we should attend to, it seems our focus and money are going to the wrong problem. Everything I listed above has a direct human cause and can have a direct fix if we put more time and money into solving them. Global Warming is a craze and trend right now, just like DDT was (Which environmentalists were wrong about and caused 2 million deaths a year during its ban).

We should solve our more immanent issues that would likely kill us long before any kind of climate change would. In doing so we may even solve whatever climate crisis we may or may not be facing.

The OP's video is pure comedy.
It takes a mediocre intelligence to take one's life and animals (even in the distant hopeless future the video portrays) are not capable of that while still in their animal form (small brain cavity etc).
The most stupid of the human beings latch on to their lives when facing inevitable death, prolonged suffering/misery and the idiot that created that video expects animals to dismiss the conservation instinct and surpass humans. hahah

And wtf is this general moaning about global warming?
And because certain prerequisites (on Earth and who knows where else in the Universe) are met, even if a few species disappear (which happend quite a lot in the course of evolution) life itself will not disappear, in the worst case scenario it will cycle.
But let's moan for the sake of it, feel down and post doomsday theories.
Such a wonderful way to pass time, isn't it?

Even if your image of it is accurate you'll be long dead before it starts to make a notable difference.

This, pretty much. The personification of the animals committing suicide was laughable at best, and an attempt at fear mongering at worst.

Global temperatures are rising, no need for debating it.

The cause is irrelevant at this point, although even if it is a natural phenomena it is still stupid to ruin the environment.

What bothers me is that almost one third of the planet's population is dependant on the fragile eco-systems in the far-east. If they lose their ability to feed themselves, and we consider the fact that there is at least three countries with nukes down there, then things starts to get interesting.

I don't know where you live, or if you ever go outdoors at all?

We have no winters at all nowadays, and havn't had a winter for more than 10 years!
No snow in the wintertime, temperature hardly getting below freezing.

If you are unable to see one such obvious thing, you cannot be helped.
