Those who think that global warming is not real should consider this:
On July 14 the Wall Street Journal ran an editorial suggesting that the evidence for global warming is weak. In the October 2006 issue of Scientific American, scientists offered a challenge to the Wall Street Journal editorial staff.
Here is a quote:
“Many of the world’s leading climate scientists are prepared to meet with the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal and to include in that meeting any climate skeptics that its editorial board wants to invite.”
Of course finding climatologists who are skeptical of global warming will be a challenge since virtually 100 percent agree that the evidence is strong. Even reports commissioned by the Bush administration agree with the climatologists. The only report sited by the Wall Street Journal editors is one conducted by three statisticians who have no background in climate science!
If the Wall Street Journal, or the Bush Administration, or anyone else wants to claim that global warming is not a serious threat, they will have to argue against the entire community of climatologists. If scientists virtually all agree that the evidence is strong, on what basis can newspaper editors, politicians, and random citizens here in Yahoo Answers claim that the evidence is weak?

ya i totally believe that global warming is real! with the amout of natural resources being sucked out of the ground, amount of trees being chopped down, amount of littering in the world, amount of industrial waste, amount of smoke pollution from industrial estates- something is bound to give in! its a case of supply and demand i think- 20 years ago the amount of demand was less than what it is today, therefore in the past 20 years alone, since demand has increased, so has supply, in order to keep up with the demand, more work has to be done. everything is EVENTUALLY from a natural resource! so, if in the last 20 years things have increased, imagine in the last hundreds and hundreds of years of things must have changed.
obviously, the demand has increased more in the last 50 years due to economics, education and technology!
normally, the enviroment would have a natural way of getting rid of these gases- unfortunately, so much of the pollution is being pumped into the atmosphere that there is no time for the for the environment to cope!
sad....but very true!

yes, and if it isnt stop it will probaly end the world,
global warming means the water tempeture is rising and its getting hotter, the more hotter the water the more violent the hurricanes and plus there will be an increase in them also,
all we got to do is something simple like not litering, its not that hard, and it will affect every1 in one way or a another,
whether its the hurricanes or the atmosphere collapsing something will happen if we dont stop global warming
