Maybe. But humans have nothing to do with it. In the 1970's the world was afflutter about global cooling. So just wait and things will change. We don't have enough data to make any statements. 150 years of weather collection over billions of years produces a situation where statistics and predictions are impossible.

Yes we are and if we all don't help stop the global warming there won't be a safe place on the earth for our kids/grandkids to grow up in..so take this very seriously not just someone gripping about something..smiles. There are plenty of reading out there on the subject written by scientists who know what there taking about like Dr. Suzuki!!!! Good Luck to you All!!!

Global warming in an interesting term to me. The earth is thousands of years old. Over these thousands of years the earth has warmed up and then cooled down. We are technically still in an ice age! So things may get a little warm down here, but I doubt that we will have to worry about temperatures rising too high for survival in our life time. If you think about it everything is cyclical.

Yes. Storms are more violent. Temperatures are more extreme. Ice is melting. The average annual temperature of 2006 was a record. Facts are facts.
Whether people are to blame or not is the controversial part. My opinion is that the Earth is going through a phase it would go through any way, but humans are certainly speeding up the process.

I agree that we are. The weather in New England has changed dramatically over the last 10 years. Winter starts in December and ends in February. Spring starts in March and it rains until June. Summer gets hot in July and it stays in the 70's-80's until October and Fall is basically just November.
I have not seen much snow over the last 5 years at all during the months of December to March. We used to get constant snow, not a lot of accumulation, but frequent flurries. Now we get rain, with maybe one big storm per year. I am a school teacher and can tell you that we have had a total of 25 snow days over a 4 year period...and that is not a lot.
This year has been crazy. It was January 6th and it was 67 degrees. It was in the 50-60's pretty much since Mid December.

Well, we are not "having" global warming.....
It's well recognised that the earth routinely experiences climate changes, yes, that's a fact.
Global Warming, capitalized, is a political agenda that holds that modern industrial societies are evil and destroying the Earth, also capitalized. It's a political agenda based on hatred of the US and other Western democracies and pro-Communist.

Yes, the earth's average temperature has risen 5 degrees Celsius in the past hundred years.

some people say yes and some say no, but i live in vermont, and most winters by this time it has gotten below 0 and it hasn't even gotten 20 degrees yet, So I personally think we are, what other explaination for it is there? I also think we will have an EXTREMELY hot summer if this winter is this warm, but I hope hot!

It is freezing cold in California. 27degrees at night. for the past month. It seems to me that we are headed for global freezing!! I might have to migrate to New England!!
