Global warming describes an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. The terms global warming or anthropogenic global warming are also used to describe the theory that increasing temperatures are the result of a strengthening greenhouse effect caused primarily by man-made increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
The predicted effects of global warming are many and various, both on the environment and on human life. The primary effect is an increasing global average temperature. From this flow a variety of secondary effects, including rises in sea level and disturbances in oceanic and atmospheric currents. Such changes may increase the frequency and severity of weather events such as floods, droughts, heat waves, and hurricanes, change agricultural yields, expansion of the range of tropical diseases, or contribute to biological extinctions. Thus the global climate change sends warning signs for all Earth's inhabitants whether in coastal or intracontinental areas, whether in tropical, mid-latitude, or polar regions.
As a result of all these changes, some species may be forced out of their habitats (possibly to extinction) because of changing conditions, while others may flourish.

Global warming is like when the Earth's ozone layer depletes it melts every thing because the ultra violate rays get in and all the glaciers melt and everything will flood. Dont get too woried because this is just a hipothosise.

My name is Rafael Lomena. I write from Alicante (Spain). I am independent investigator on the Accelerated Global Heating and want to share with all something that can turn out from interest to fight this phenomenon.
I believe that the main cause of the Accelerated Global Heating is in the great and increasing forest fires that are whipping to the planet in the last years.
My complete report is in: http://inicia.es/de/rlv/clim.htm
If they do not understand the Spanish they can use the automatic translator that will find in the main page of site:

Thanks to all.

Global warming is the ozone layer depleating. It means that more and more of the sun's rays are coming into the earth without protection. It causes polar ice caps to melt and the summers to be especially hot. Eventually, it's gonna kill us. I'm glad you're informed.

in case you desire to acquire furnish funds for climate study, do you think of which you will get a cheque in case you're saying," i want the furnish, as i think of that i will tutor that the figures that the present paradigm is predicated upon are incorrect" ? the large environmentalist, David Bellamy, has been silenced, and refused airtime. there continues to be no shown causative link between the quantity of Co2 in the ambience, and an strengthen in international temperatures. The WWWF pictures of the polar bears swimming have been taken in the Arctic summer season; whilst the ice cap in part melts, as they could no longer arise to image in the wintry climate. The ice became too thick! The East-Anglian uni study figures. "Oh! The figures do no longer adventure our expectancies. Oh nicely. shop quiet. by using fact all of us understand that we are suitable." whilst the thought, and the religion is extra significant than squarely dealing with the valid doubts of multiple non furnish-supported scientists, technology has been superceded by making use of religious zealots. As Oliver Cromwell colourfully suggested." I pray thee, in the bowels of Christ, evaluate that thou mayest be incorrect."
