Actually the temperature of the earth has increased less than 7/10 of 1 degree (C) from 1880 to 2005. That is an increase of about 1 degree (F) in 125 years. You may choose to believe that is global warming or you may not. Here is a link taking you to a NASA chart showing that temperature chart. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/2005cal_fig1.gif There are numerous charts all over the internet showing the same. Some say that 1 degree is enough to impact the global climate, others say it's not. Most proponents of global warming think the earth's temerature has risen much higher than that and don't even know that it has only risen by 1 degree. But the charts do not lie as do the proponents on both sides of this issue.
Back in the '70s all the hype was about global COOLING and another ice age was coming. I remember that they blamed pollution for that too. They said that all the pollution was darkening the skies and not as much sun was coming through so the earth was cooling off. It took several years but they discovered that they were mistaken. So when someone says, "the sky is falling" don't believe everything you hear on either side of the issue. There are Spin Doctors galore out there.
Most of the time people will form an opinion and not really be informed about the subject with which they become so opinionated about. So it's best that you not form your opinions from other's opinions, (as in this forum) but on the facts presented.

Al Gore flys around in his jet that's gushing out huge amounts of everything that he says is bad for the world. Then asks us to use low energy light bulbs. I'm not so sure he's really in it for the world. It seems to me he's in it to get attention. An alternative would be for him to fly the airlines. After all what else does he have to do?
I hope that helps...

Some people do, but a majority of the population still believe it doesn't exist and is a hoax due to them being grossly misinformed. Al Gore, for one, cares about it... I mean... he cared enough to make a movie about global warming to try and persuade others to become as passionate as he is about the ever-worsening problem. So of course there are people out there that care, it might just be too late when irreversible damages are made before people finally begin to take notice.

Obviously Al Gore does...I care about global warming and I'm just your average joe that would like to see the world still here in 50 years. Even the smallest things like recycling stuff helps.

Me... yes. but there are very few of us that exist. i believe that within our lifetime we will see a drastic change in the rise of the ocean and the nonstop melting of the polar icecaps. I think that we are dooming our children and our grand children to a horrible life in extremely crowded areas when the over 300 million people of the US scramble to the mountains to save thier lives. Claim you territory NOW.

Most of Australia does- We're in a HUGE drought, and changes in weather patterns are being blamed.
True or not, it gives people something to focus on.
