Global warming = liberal propaganda.

Increase in the global average surface temperature resulting from enhancement of the greenhouse effect, primarily by air pollution. In 2001 the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that by 2100 global average surface temperatures would increase 2.5 to 10.4 °F (1.4 to 5.8 °C), depending on a range of scenarios for greenhouse gas emissions. Many scientists predict that such an increase would cause polar ice caps and mountain glaciers to melt rapidly, significantly raising the levels of coastal waters, and would produce new patterns and extremes of drought and rainfall, seriously disrupting food production in certain regions. Other scientists maintain that such predictions are overstated. The 1992 Earth Summit and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change attempted to address the issue of global warming, but in both cases the efforts were hindered by conflicting national economic agendas and disputes between developed and developing nations over the cost and consequences of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades.

global warming is whenever there is too much carbon dioxide in the air...so it destroys the ozone layer and the sun's heat gets trapped inside our atmosphere.....causing the temperatures to go up....that is global warming

It's a horrid thing...
It's when the pollution in the air warms the earth's atmosphere, causing cold areas...like Alaska to melt and cause polar bears to move to colder areas.

global warming is that the ozone layer is deteriorating from all the pollution that us humans cause in r evry day lives
from carbon monixide(exhaust), smoke, smog, and other dangerous and pousinous chemicals

Stick around for another 20 years and you will see first hand. Bigger and bigger storms as more moisture is released from the melting caps.

It is the increasing average temperature around the world...
It means nothing...
