I'm not giving my opinion. I want yours.

Is it occurring?

Is it caused by human activity?

If so, then what is the solution? Please be as detailed as possible.

Thanks.

Quite simply Global Warming does in fact exist. Any person older than 20 can perceive the slow change.

As for its cause, I'm torn between human activity being the cause and it being a part of a larger cycle of 10's of thousands, perhaps millions of years. It's been even warmer than it is now in the past. So the human activity might only be making the changes more pronounced and perhaps quicker.

I think we can do a lot as a species to minimize the effect of Global Warming. However, it will take universal acceptance and a desire to actually make changes that will be very costly and have an effect on the economy. There is no magic solution, not to sound negative. We will have to do what we can A.S.A.P. with reducing carbon emissions and just hope that if it is a part of a natural cycle, that it won't get hotter than we can handle.

ok, first of all, global warming iz occurring because the ozone layer has holes in it, meaning UV rays go through it and hit the earth causing it 2 become very HOT. Temperatures are increasin drastically and sea levels r rising. Meaning the ice caps are melting, and is predicted to flood the earth decades later if the temperature keep going up.

There have been debates on whether human activities is the cause. Some scientists say that cars releasing carbon dioxide caused the holes, (as well as other activities). Then again some ppl say that it's all part of a solar cycle, where the earth changes it temperatures like millions of years.

No, there is no solution 2 it. The ozone layer is damaged so badly, that there iz no way that those holes will "heal". Even if every single person stops using cars as of right now, and use horse instead, it will not change global warming ot hole the holes.

OK, i hope that answers ur Q's

Hi. In my opinion,
Is it occurring? Yes. Climate records demonstrate this.
Is it caused by human activity? Partially. Cut down the rain forest and timber lands and carbon dioxide does not go into trees. Burn carbon based fuel and carbon dioxide is the inevitable byproduct.
If so, then what is the solution? At this point we need to prepare for the near future and plan for the farther future. Stop building near current ocean levels, raise the main highways to higher than anticipated future ocean levels. Get out of the "lessons learned" mentality and into the "glad we thought of that!" frame of mind. Stop rewarding denial and the "yes sir, yes sir, three bags full" mentality. The changes are coming with the growth of China and other countries. We can be smart or we can be sheep. I prefer smart.
