Of course it's real... the climate has always had periods of warming and cooling. Can we say ice age? The question shouldn't be if it's real or not, it should be if it's caused by humans or not.

Global warming would appear to be a natural event. So is global cooling.Yes the environmental folks would like to blame we humans but consider the following....
1) A single volcanic event releases more than 1,000,000 times the volume of toxic and greenhouse gasses than than man has created from day one. There have been hundreds of these events in the past several thousand years.
2) the earth has gone through countless climatic changes even before man was a factor. These were caused by various global and cosmic events. The record is clear on this.

I think that Global Warming is a real issue resulting from the increased amount of Jet Aircraft flying in the upper atmosphere in recent years.
It is a known fact that for one gallon of gasoline (or Aviation Gas) burned, nineteen pounds of Carbon
Dioxide are produced. Now, how many gallons of
aviation gas are burned by commercial airlines worldwide, and military aircraft worldwide. That is a
huge amount of Carbon Dioxide. Do you think for a
minute that anyone is going to say stop flying Jet
Aircraft? I think not. So they focus on cars and trucks,
which are operated by the little people down on the Earth's surface, not 20 to 30 thousand feet up in the atmosphere near the Ozone layer. Come on... What is
causing Global Warming? Now you know.

speak in neutral terms politically, the temperature has always been fluctuating. The last ice age, known as the pleistocene ice age, lasted for 1.6 million years, and ended about 11,000 years ago. This current period, called the Holocene, has been marked by various temperature changes. It is true that earth is getting warmer now, but at one time in the Holocene, it was much warmer. I bet humans have some effect on this, but not enough to drastically change any million year old pattern

I think that global warming is quiet real. Summers are hotter than they used to be and the winters are warmer.

It is very much real, you can feel that winters are not that harsh, summers are hotter and then sea level is going up. Do you think that all this imagined. I don't think that in todays age anything of such a magnitude can be imagined.

Bull crap to global warming. No such thing as we currently are obsessing about.

I am completely convinced. There is profound evidence that the earths average temperature is rising.
