it is
it has risen by 1 degree in last 100 years.
That dont sound much, but another 2 1/2 degrees will melt polar caps completely.

It is true.
CO2 is 30% higher than it has been for 650,000 years. Methane is 130% greater. These are two of the main pollutants humans put into the atmosphere in excess, and they are two of the primary greenhouse gases.
Look at the 'hockeystick', which shows a dramatic warming since 1950 after a fairly stable climate for 1000 years. In fact, the 10 hottest years in recorded history have all happened since 1990, with 2005 being the hottest, and 2006 is shaping up to maybe break that record.
(see links below)
How's that for proof of man's fault in this? There is ample proof, any real scientist will tell you that.
There has NEVER been an article doubting man's influence on global warming published in a peer-reviewed journal. A recent study of almost 1000 proved that.
Yes, the earth naturally heats and cools, but the rate and amount we are warming now is unprecedented in the recent geologic past. We are doing this, and we must stop it. This is not some political statement or rhetoric. This is science trying to educate a crass, ignorant public of the damage they are doing. The magnitude of temperature increase ALREADY is about 10x that of the 'little ice age' of the middle ages, and rate and amount are only going up.
Just to be clear, glacial and interglacial cycles are mainly controlled by astronomical fluctuations, but we have a detailed record of the last 7 cycles, and what the climate and CO2 is doing now is way different and extreme. The rate of increase is much higher than in the past AND the value itself is much higher.

It's true that the Earth is getting warmer. It's very hot in Coimbatore. But very cold at night. The glaciers r melting away in the north & south poles. It's caused due to pollution &chloroflurocarbons.

It relies upon on how low-recommendations the guy climate denier is. the main low recommendations human beings are not even attentive to the actuality that international conventional temperatures are increasing. those are the individuals who make arguments alongside the lines of "it snowed final iciness so international warming would desire to be fake" the slightly much less low-recommendations climate deniers are attentive to the actuality that international conventional temperatures are increasing. some are even attentive to the actuality that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gasoline, meaning it reflects warmth waves decrease back off to Earth.

It has been a hot summer here in the US, but Global Warming is still a figment of Al Gore's marijuana influence imagination.
