Unfortunately, the science of weather prediction is chaos
theory. There are too many factors to be able to reliably
predict exact outcomes.
We think that warming has generally added energy to the
world's weather systems though weather only happens
when their is a difference in pressure which is not as
simple to determine.
We think that adding heat to weather should cause nastier
storms - and we're getting nastier storms. Unfortunately,
that doesn't mean that one caused the other. There are
so many other factors that the best we can do is say that
the added heat is likely to be one of the factors.
Pretty wimpy, but if that's what you have, you run with it.
However, to the degree that we can control the factors
(and its pretty hard), we should. If that means we should
be trying to cut down on global warming, then by all means,
we should. If humans aren't the only cause of it, what does
that matter if it kills us all?

Here's the correct answer...NO. The earth has been going through cycles of heating and cooling since it was formed, and our weather patterns have changed accordingly along with these cycles.
If you want to get scared by liberals like Al Gore who want your money and your vote, you can watch the global warming fiction film called "An Inconvenient Truth" ...they are pandering to all the global warming alarmists with doctored statistics and lots of out-of-context content. Remember, this is the same guy who claims he invented the Internet.
It has been stated that our average global temp is at a 400-year high. This PROVES that auto and industrial emissions AREN'T causing the warming; 400 years ago there were no cars, or industrial polluters to blame it on. What was it...cow farts? Of course, we can't time travel back to the world of 400 years ago, but it has been scientifically theorized that the ozone layer goes through such cycles and changes as well, and 400 years ago was likely very similar to that which we have now.
Before we start assigning blame, let's look at history, and the facts. And take a good hard look at those who profit the most from your being scared of global warming.

Well, some fluctuation is natural. The idea with global warming is that the fluctuations are increasing and will continue to do so. So, is it making the weather more extreme? Yes. But you can't blame it for every single heat wave or hurricane or drought, etc.

I don't believe in Global warming. The Earth has been going through climate cycles since the birth of the planet.

I kinda question this as well. My belief is possibly some is global warming, but than a strong part of me believes our own gov. has much to do with things happening in the world. Just my belief though, so take it as you will. Maybe that's because I listen to a lot of coast to coast and they have many experts who study this.

Absolutely. Do I think it was caused by us humans? NO. it's a natural process, and it is the beginning of the end of this interglacial period.

Yes it is responsible.

Definitely. You should see the documentary "An inconvenient truth", I think you'd find it very interesting.
