I just picked this up on the internet:

Breaking News: 113 Nations Agree ... Climate Change 'Very Likely' Caused by Humans

Although like many of you I have had some doubt about the actuality of global climate change. In fact I still have reservations concerning the extent of this phenomena, the rate at which it will occur, the precise causes, and the duration of the change. However, I believe the entire world will now begin to take more aggressive steps to curb what it believes to be the causes of this man made change. I believe if all the science is correct we will see incontrovertible evidence of the change caused by man and not by nature, by 2080.

GLOBAL WARMING is a thing that will definately flood the whole earth and the day will come that because of the global warming the earth has been finished . as the temperature is increasind bcoz of harmful infra red rays and also UVrays they are not escaping from the earth and increasind the temperature day by day resulting the melting of the polar regions and the coastal areas will be flooded .And the life will again go in the water from where it was originally emerged..... THAT WILL BE THE END OF THE EARTHHHH!!!!!!!!

There is millions, if not billions of dollars of grants handed out by many special interest groups and today our great senators gave a large sum of money to many many people who are justifying their job by studying global warming.

Results of all these studies are required in order to continue to receive grant money.

"IT'S WHO EVER HAS THE PENCIL THAT DETERMINES RESULTS. THAT PENCIL PUSHER WANTS TO KEEP HIS LAY BACK JOB."

The climate has been slowly changing since time began and it will continue to change.

Yes we need to do what we can to keep our world cleaned up and save our natural resources by recycling.

We want cleaner air and water and everyone should do their part to help.

All the snow, rain and ice storms and freezing weather this winter, kind of put the brakes on Al Gore's theory of global warming.

Something needs to be done about him going into grade schools and showing his movie to little children, who go home crying and thinking they are going to die.

Those poor kids are running scared.

They need to be told, that we have soldiers fighting and loosing their life so those children will be safe.

“ If you can read this thank a teacher and since it’s in English, thank a soldier !! ”

By the way, Al Gore lost the presidential election to President George Bush because he wants to take our guns away from us.

That is totaly against the constitution. We have the right to bear arms.

The red states and the western states have an arsenal and they wouldn't allow him to take thier guns.

I do not care for it.

Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation into the future.

Global average near-surface atmospheric temperature rose 0.6 ± 0.2 °Celsius (1.1 ± 0.4 °Fahrenheit) in the 20th century. The prevailing scientific opinion on climate change is that "most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities."[1] The main cause of the human-induced component of warming is the increased atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are released by activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, land clearing, and agriculture.

Models referenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that global temperatures may increase by 1.4 to 5.8 °C (2.5 to 10.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100. The uncertainty in this range results from both the difficulty of predicting the volume of future greenhouse gas emissions and uncertainty about climate sensitivity.

An increase in global temperatures can in turn cause other changes, including a rising sea level and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation. These changes may increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, heat waves, hurricanes, and tornados. Other consequences include higher or lower agricultural yields, glacier retreat, reduced summer streamflows, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors. Warming is expected to affect the number and magnitude of these events; however, it is difficult to connect particular events to global warming. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming (and sea level rise) is expected to continue past then, since CO2 has a long average atmospheric lifetime.

Remaining scientific uncertainties include the exact degree of climate change expected in the future, and especially how changes will vary from region to region across the globe. A hotly contested political and public debate has yet to be resolved, regarding whether anything should be done, and what could be cost-effectively done to reduce or reverse future warming, or to deal with the expected consequences. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at combatting global warming. (See List of Kyoto Protocol signatories.)

A Pathetic thoery that is Unbacked, much like the creation theory. (It probally came to some scientist in a dream or something like that).
