the world IS getting warmer - no one questions that unless they're just lying or repeating lies they heard from someone else
some people try to claim people have no responsibility for it, but no scientists or smart people deny that we are contributing
There are arguments about how much we're causing it and what we should do to fix it

Global Warming is what happens to select parts of the Earth's surface when exposed to sunlight. It's a normal part of the day / night cycle. BTW long-term studies (since 1760 A.D.) document that fluctuations in the intensity of solar radiation are closely correlated with warming and cooling trends in the Earth's temperature. It's a more exact correlation than CO2 levels.

most scientists say its the greenhouse gases such and carbon dioxide, monoxide sulfer oxides, and nitrogen oxides. these molecules asborb heat, and trap heat into the atmosphere. however, i believe there are other factors involved. one not widely considered is the fact that our sun, a yellow star is expanding, and thus physically getting closer to our planet!
