Global warming caused by man is happening right now. Ask a polar bear whose habitat is in trouble.
20-50 years for severe effects to modern civilization.
But it will be obvious we have a real and serious problem before that.

There are naysayers who say this is all normal and there isn't anything to worry about.
But I remember not too many years ago when winters were brutal in Ohio, and now it doesn't seem like there is nothing like we used to have.
Now, I can look back over the past few years and I can see a dramatic drop in the amount I spend on heating in the winter. This winter alone my heating is at least half what I spent two years ago and last year as well.
Whether this is a trend or not scientifically or not, I don't know, but I know enough as a layman to see the difference in my heating bills.
So could be we are a lot closer to global warming than they would lead us to believe.

Global warming is the cyclical process that ends every ice age. So, we have been experiencing this current cycle of warming for at least 15,000 years!

Who wants to know? So-called " world leaders" don't want to know
really, because then they won't be elected to be "world leaders"
by promoting green and conservation programs. The scenario in
the Day after Tomorrow is more likely. Who wants to be like Noah
who spent all his adult years building a giant houseboat far from the
sea. Workers don't mind as long as they get paid. Which BANK in
this world would finance a modern Noah? Workers need to eat.
Of course we are now like a frog swimming in a slowly boiling
pot of water.......O youth of this generation I give you this earth.

within the net 40-50 years our temp. cold rise to such an extend that all the glaciers melt and cause floods and abnormalities everywhere..
But it would be a better scene than Day after tom.(the movie)

Global warming has been around for eons. The degree to which we contribute to it and hasten it's approach? I don't know.
