Absolutely. Villages in the Artic are dissappearing because of global warming. Also shores and coastal areas are losing beaches because of melting ice, which causes sea levels to rise. Not to mention that in about 100 years there will be no such thing as a winter ! Scary ! We'll all fry !

A United Nations report due out next year will say that mankind has had less effect on global warming than previously supposed.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says there can be little doubt that humans are responsible for warming the planet, but the has reduced its overall estimate of this effect by 25%.
Whilst it predicts that temperatures will rise by up to 4.5 C during the next 100 years, this is significantly less than some of the Global Warming scaremongers have been predicting.
The IPCC has also been forced to halve its predictions for sea-level rise in the next hundred years from 34 in to 17 in.
Global Warming enthusiasts have distorted and grossly exaggerated figures. Such transparent wrongful data has harmed their cause substantially. The US government has actually cut back on related energy research and many people are seeing Global Warming as bunk.
But there is a real problem that is called Climate change. Most scientists in the field and most sensible people interested in the environment have recognised it for years.
Whilst the dire prediction of the Global Warmers are grossly exaggerated they do detract and distract from the real problems of the world climate. They have become the real problem and threat to the world!!!
It is time to ditch the discredited term ‘Global Warming’, recognise the term ‘Climate Change’ and get on with the problem of identifying, quantifying and seeking solutions. We need to curb carbon emissions, find new power sources and fuels, but most of all we need some good scientific research and honest and open minded debate.

Not really, unless you consider a trip to a more tropical climate dangerous. Warm it will regardless of what the 'so called' global warming advocates say, since we are in a warming periof between ice ages. The earth has been both warmer and colder than it is now, without human intervention.

No, global cooling is more to be feared in the northern hemisphere. If global warming progresses, it will dump too much fresh water into the gulf stream, thereby shutting it down. This is what caused the Little Ice Age(1200s-1700s).

The danger is extreme, but this forum is no place to seek proper answers. Too many who will answer (1) don't know what they're talking about (2) have an agenda, or (3) just want to see if they can win an extra ten points. Go to your local university library and ask the staff to help you by pointing out the appropriate journals that deal with the question.

Whatever you call it-something is definitely happening to normal weather cycles and extremes.

Yes, but if we can somehow cap the emissions coming from Rosie O'Donnell's butt, we'll be saved.

Yes.. but I firmly believe that it is a natural event.. a cyclical event and has NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT IDIOT Al Gore and his stupid book

Yeah we are! Especially because of the use of gas and aerosols, which depletes the cover that our atmosphere has.
