Its most definitly real but I dont think its going to end the world but it will cause some odd climate changes and possibly tsunamis.
Does anyone have evidence its real or at least know a source.
Please Give me some good answers or comments on global warming and our lack of change.

Global warming (more appropriately called global climate change) is real, the question is what is causing it. Man may be "contributing" to it, but the big culprit is the sun. There has been a lot of interest in solar flares lately. Historically, we know that the sun has increased solar activity every few years. We are in a cycle now.

The "Man is the cause of all evils" crowd don't even consider the sun in their computer models. Computer models are interesting but they can be written to suit the agenda of the researcher, so to base scientific decisions solely on models is "fuzzy" science at best.

Since the big issue is the sun, there is obviously nothing we can do about it, but plan for the climate change and adapt.

It is a little difficult to separate evidence from things people simply publish. I have no way of knowing if the Polar ice packs or glaciers are melting. That is something that I read in the papers. It may be true but it is a little soon for global warming to have that sort of effect. We do know that history records various heating and cooling events in the past. Official meteorological data shows that the average temperature has risen uniformly since 1900. Unofficial figures show a rise of about one degree since 1850. Slightly less precisely we have records in Europe and Britain that demonstrate the "Little Ice Age" - A drop of 2-3 degrees from 1500 to 1850. So it seems that we must be in a global warming period. I read a report recently that Solar Scientists had determined a 650 year cycle of heating and cooling caused by regular changes in the sun.
What remains is man's contribution if any. It has nothing to do with the Ozone layer that is completely different. There has been a small increase in Carbon Dioxide levels, probably enough to affect the greenhouse effect and contribute a small amount. As for tsunamis, they have even less to do with global warming than Ozone. Storm surges may increase but they are not likely to be much worse than those of the past. Sea level rises are occurring but very slowly, not really a problem.

Global warming There is more information to indicate that it is not true especially if u tie CO2 to global warming.Granted there have been huge amounts of fuel burned that produce CO2 . But if u measure the CO2 it is not there. Mother nature solved this problem a few million years ago. Whenever plants were introduced they take in CO2 and give us back oxygen. So the CO2 problem never existed at all. That was a political noise not worthy of anything and all the so called educated still don't know. CO2 was to be the big thing that would get us all. If the CO2 is not there neither is global warming.

Global warming is as real as the New Ice Age they were trying to scare us with back in the 70's.

It's real. I'd go with melting ice caps. Global Warming is caused by burning of plastic and other combustible materials, therefore the ozone layer begins to break...which becomes a whole and now

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.

We are just seeing yet another example of history repeating itself. The scientists cry in the wilderness for decades about something they see happening, and try to warn us about. But people just don't want to be made to change one little thing in their nice little comfort zone, so they just blow it off as nonsense. It is ONLY when the evidence is beginning to show in ways that cannot be ignored, that we finally have to concede that there really was something going on and somebody has to change something.
It's kind of like people who get warning signs from their own body that something is going on inside that shouldn't. The attitude is one of total denial, or "ignore it and it'll go away" Well, it never does go away, and by the time the real symptoms are showing up that can no longer be denied, a whole lot of damage has already been done. History is full of examples of this kind of thing, so we are just chalking up one more example of how humans themselves have become a cancer on the body of the planet we all have to call home.

evidence. melting ice caps. need warmth to melt so globe warming up.
