Soot on the polar ice caps? To warm the earth?
Maybe in another 30 years we'll be laughing again at what the scientific community says.

Let me give you some additional links to consider.

All of these addresses provide evidence that refutes the doom and gloom environmentalists. The point of this is that the old school media has only been presenting one side of the argument to the masses and has been ignoring the research that does not agree with their side of the argument. The fact of the matter is that the case for global warming is not as cut and dried as some people would have you think. The argument that we are causing or accelerating global warming is even shakier.

Those that want you to believe that we are destroying the Earth dismiss those that contradict them as being paid shill for industry. So, of course they would say that everything is fine because if they didn't they would lose their funding. What these people don't mention is that their own research is sponsored by the environmental groups and that if they did not tow the line on human destruction of the environment, then they too would be in danger of losing their funding. The point here being that we really have no reason to think that anyone is unbiased in this argument. So, I strongly recommend that everyone look at both sides of the argument rather than just taking any one groups word on it. In my links I have only focussed on one side of the argument because it is the side that most people have not heard.

Answer 2

You shouldn't just believe it.
You should read the evidence on both sides.

Unfortunately, the equations that describe the change in the earth's temperature are extremely complex, with many variables that are hard to measure. This makes it almost impossible to determine whether man's contribution to the current warming is significant. More importantly, it makes it very hard to determine whether CHANGING man's contribution to global warming could do much to alter the course of things.

Another unfortunate thing is that those who preach global warming would like us to believe that the debate is over and they have won. In fact, it is a very open question that needs ongoing study and continuing data collection.

My personal opinion is that mankind accounts for only a small percentage of the warming effect (well under 10%), and while we should not create greenhouse gases for no reason, there is probably nothing we can do that will have a large effect on the warming trend.

Final note: Nuclear power plants could be built to replace fossil fuel plants. Nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gases. Yet I haven't heard that Al Gore favors using nuclear power. What's up with that?

Answer 3

When I was a kid we had ice most of the winter days, and our pipes were often frozen over. You see the ice at the edges of the river. We burned a fire or had heat all winter. You wore your jacket (or coat than) to school all winter. planting in febuary usually got your crops frost bitten or kiled by the cold,

Now I haven't worn a jacket in years. we have as many winter days we don't need much heat as we used did need heat. I haven't seen ice on the ground for more than a few hours in an outside puddle in years. I can't remember when the last time pipes forze around here. About 14 years I think.
Yeah global warming is here. Whether it's here to stay or will force a mini ice age on us is not known yet. Global warmingis evident on all of the mountains world wide.
(when my grand mother was a child in the North georgia mountains it was thought that North Georgia would be the next Aspen or the next most popular sky resort because it was close to large cities with air service like Atlanta, and had such a mild climate but plenty of snow. That is all gone now and a good snow fal in North Georgia is rare. A season that would support a sky resort is none existing any longer.
Our Creeks and streams are all drying up around here. We ar ein a 15/20 year drought with only one year anywhere near our annual average water fall of 4 ft. in the last 20 years.
Not only is Growth and irrigation , and low rainfall threatening our water supplies, but lost of snow, and ice from the mountains and the northern states are also short changing us.

The unground rivers are receding and salt water is coming in due to lost of water fall. In th enorth The great lakes are losing water tables. And places like nuch of New York, Indiana, Ohio, missiouri are having 70 to 80 degree days when they should have winter long snow on the ground. There are places all over the country which now see litle snow when they used ot be several feet deep in it al year.
It's not neccessary to read the news tolearn where we are. Just ask your relatives older than you are.

Answer 4

My answer is that already earth has global warming by a little amount (ie 1%) .But due to the human activities the action of the global warming & now it is 10%.

Answer 5

Global warming: you should believe in.
As you know, global warming is the effect of the over heating of Earth that is caused mostly by green house gases (CO2, etc.) AND this is occuring because of the pollution occuring around Earth.. The pollution will tear up the Ozone molecules. Ozone absorbs heat from the sun. No ozone, the heat will go through the atmosphere more directly causing bad weather, etc.!

Answer 6

You should believe it if your job depends on government grants that are given for the study of global warming. if you prove global warming is nonsense, there'd be no more need for your job and hence the funds should end. think job security - get a government job in an agency created to solve a problem, but make sure the problem is never solved.

Answer 7

Well you could just take your own observations as evidence.
The seasons have changed heaps in my lifetime.
