So what would be better to do for Christmas? Buy a real christmas tree and feel bad for being responsible for having a tree cut down or buy a fake one and feel responsible for supporting the production of plastics which in turn causes more pollution and the use of petroleum? I can't win I feel help me please.

Then when billions of people die because of storms, wildfires due to hotter temps and dryer seasons, flooding, and other terrible things, you can turn and say, "See!! I told you so...you owe me $5!! Sucker!! Global warming was true!!"

Because that is what I'm going to do...

The temperatures globally rises much faster then the temperatures in the U.S. The temperatures in the U.S. is probably linked to the temperature of the North Atlantic Ocean. It transfers, throw the thermohaline conveyer belt, a lot of heat from the tropics to the U.S. on its way to the North pole. This congruity is predicted in climate models and may explain why the temperatures in the U.S. are not following the same patterns as much of the world.

We have found animals frozen solid in ice, their stomach still full of green vegetation. Poor beast was probably on the ice pack when it crashed into the ocean causing the ocean level to increase greatly, and putting large quantities of ice in the way of thermal distribution currents.
The fresh water does not sink even if it is colder. This brings these thermal distribution currents to a stop. It cools the atmosphere because of the large quantities of ice floating about in the ocean. It desalinates the ocean making it easier to freeze. The rise in ocean water increases the reflectivity of the planet causing more heat to be reflected back into space. Then the resulting snow and ice increases the reflectivity even more. This kind of event can cause an ice age to begin in one season. Don't throw out you long undies yet.

By "affect", I am asking if global warming impacts the magnitude and/or frequency of earthquakes. If you know of any sources I could read on the subject, that would be very helpful.

I have watched a documentry called "The Great Global Warming Swindle", which believes that global warming is not because of C02 emisions, but the sun naturally controlls the earths temperature.
I have also watched Al Gore's "An Inconveniant Truth" which is another documentry that supports the idea that humans are contributing to global warming.

This got me thinking if it is a big hoax for scientists to make a profit, or if it is infact real.

What do you think??
