is global warming real?

Question

(i'm asking this against my will, as in someone is asking for me)

well i know it's real it's just that my cousin forced me to ask the question, we're just playing a game

Answer 1

Well, there is no doubt that global warming is real. Everyone agrees with that, the only thing they don't agree about is why.
Most people agree that climate change occurs in cycles, and that warming and cooling are natural events throughout history, and that the current global warming is normal. Others say that, yes, it is normal, but excess pollution is hurrying it along.

I personally tend to believe that our pollution is making global warming happen faster.

Answer 2

well i am in Ontario Canada very near to a place called blue mountain . i can look out my window in the winter and see the lights on the ski hills. however i look out there now and it just dark this is because all of the ski vacation companies have laid off everyone and are not even attempting to make snow anymore.
yesterday a i worked outside wearing only a t shirt no coat or anything. in the past i would have had a large heavy coat on and a hat but not now and really less and less each year. so is global warming real well how about coming here and trying to find a skier then if you somehow manage to find one ask him if he feels warm.

Answer 3

Well, do tell the person who is making you ask that yes. It sure the heck is real.

a) It's January 6th and it was 70 degrees in New York City
b) Look at all the video footage of the melting polar icecaps
c) As the polar bears in the arctic who are starving to death. The seals they depend on for food , that they find ON the ice, aren't as plentiful for them because the ice is melting and they're swimming elsewhere.
d) Go see "An Inconvenient Truth."

Answer 4

Yes yes yes yes yes it is. It's a natural "process" that happens, except humans are increasing the global warming process by contributing to greenhouse gases (i.e. driving, factories, air pollution, deforestation). This is why it hasn't snowed where I live (well, it has, but because of global warming, the temperatures are above average, and all the snow melted a bit too quickly).

Answer 5

is the earth getting hotter?
Yes
Is the Co2 going up?
Yes
Are the polar ice caps and Greenland melting?
Yes
I'm not really sure what your friend means but I'd say the answer to all the questions point to the same thing. Global warming is real. and it is a threat. A big one

Answer 6

The globe has been getting warmer, more or less, for 18,000 years anyway.
There was a mini-ice age in the Middle Ages, which was very worrisome to the farmers at that time, but it receded.
Of course, temperatures have not been recorded for that long.
So it is hard to know the significance of our yearly temperature changes.

Answer 7

You just have to look outside to know it's real, but for Bush and his poodle Harper in Canada I imagine we'd need more studies...any excuse to keep out of the Kyoto Accord...

Answer 8

Well just notice the weather and the blight in the oceans yes it is a fact and just uninformed people think not! There is a saying when the oceans die we die and just do some investigating you will see it look you will see it just wait till summer you will feel it also!

Answer 9

records are being broken around the world
so i think it is true
this el ninyo is what is causing the problems around the globe like it did in the eightys
but this time its causing weather paterns in australia that has never been seen befor we are getting rain where there used to be none.
and were getting no rain where there used to be plenty
we have had snow in summer in one area.

Answer 10

Yes, but not because of mankind, like the elitist tree-huggers say.
