Global Warming: is a specific example of the broader term climate change, which can also refer to global cooling. In principle, global warming is neutral as to the period or causes, but in common usage the term generally refers to recent warming and implies a human influence. The UNFCCC uses the term "climate change" for human-caused change, and "climate variability" for other changes.Some organizations use the term "anthropogenic climate change" for human-induced changes.

Global warming is at the fore front because politicians found how to use a new platform to get re-elected. The world leadersuse it because they found ways to make money at it. This is a made up problem just like Global Cooling in the 1970's. Wake up people. I agree we need to be more efficient with our resources, and we should fine and jail companies who are dumping into our rivers maliciously. I want to stop the raiforest destruction, but to say that global warming is a serious man made issue and we need to destroy the American economy and bow down to the rest of the world certainly does not float my boat. Follow the money on this one and you will see that it is all for political gain and grant money for those scientists who profit off of the government if global warming stays at the front of the issues. Look deep into the Keoto (sp?) Treaty, first of all they took jets to a non-central resort location. Not very environmentally concious. THen in the parameters of the treaty they have a clause that makes it so you can buy or sell polution credits. This is all about shifting wealth and breaking down the United States. This is painfully obvious, just look at peoples agenda. The earth's mean temperature has risen .6 degrees C in the past 125 years. Greenland's icecaps have gotten colder in the past 10 years. The Scientists who do not gain anything on their posisition will tell you that the earth has a natural progression and this is what we are seeing. The UN report is made up of POLITICIANS not a good spread of scientists. THere are as many or more scientists who believe that man in NOT the reason and it is over hyped, but their voice is not heard in the LIberal Mainstream Media. This issue is 99% political, and an attempt to make the USA a socialist nation, and eventually communisim. WAKE UP AMERICA, IT IS TIME TO BE AMERICANS. FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. STOP THE LIES

Years ago I moved out of the city, into a remote rural area and now ride a 100 mpg motorbike to town and back once a week for groceries. The only electric appliances I have are a small TV, computer, fridg and freezer. Hot water is supplied by a highly efficient woodwaste burning water heater. My water is pumped by a wind system from the creek to a gravity feed reservoir uphill from the (old all metal mobile home). I grow most of my own food, and bake my own bread in a wood burning oven. Bottom line? My electricity usage has been reduced 75%, my fossil fuel usage at least 80%. My overall BTU usage has dropped 90% compared to city life. Now ask yourself, if everyone in the world did this what would happen to our economy? The world economy?
anthropogenic (human induced) climate change, whatever percentage over and above normal Milankovitch earth orbit heating warming cycles we are producing, began in the early 1800’s and are not reversible. We can only stop using energy now and see who was right about the percentage, or we can keep on keepin on, and see… OR… ..We can line up everyone responsible for climate change and sacrifice them against a stone wall.... Good idea? Uh...didn't the Aztecs do that when the weather didn't suit them? I guess some things just never change...
Had man not become industrialized we would still be swinging in the trees throwing poop at each other... If we can fix it, lets do it, if not, shut the **** up...

We cannot do something big about it yet, because we need:
1) more understanding of the exact causes
2) to develop more technologies to replace the ones that are causing harm
3) consensus among the greatest emitters among nations. China will soon be the greatest emitter, and shows no interest in regulating itself.
The situation is not an emergency. It will not be cost-effective to rush into big changes that are expensive and may not produce the desired results.
Our biggest task right now is to work on developing better technologies that can be reasonably priced.

Because nobody is willing to give up the bottom line dollar of the company or the 250 ponies under the hood. Humans have always preferred to fix problems then to prevent them and this isn't going to change now. Global warming will never be realistically considered by most until we see the detrimental effects of it, and even then most people will probably lay it on God or earth cycles or some such thing.

First, somewhat a rebuttal on your assumption that worldwide warming would desire to be led to via people: a million. technological understanding isn't a democracy. Its a dictatorship of the information. no count if or no longer ninety 5% of human beings have faith that's irrelevant. At one factor, human beings mentioned the Earth replace into flat. Is it? 2. there is no longer a consensus. there is conflicting archives. 3. various the technological understanding at the back of the disaster is undesirable! a. fake useful trend acceptance: Seeing shapes interior the clouds or varieties interior the archives, no count if or no longer theyre there or no longer. b. affirmation Bias: those that think of world warming is led to via people will coach it does, mutually as ignoring conflicting archives. c. loss of controls: that's no longer achieveable to regulate the climate, for this reason the technique is doubtful at maximum suitable, invalid at worst. Segundo, according to how scientists can take income of world warming. a million. Scientists acquire grant money from agencies that oftentimes have agendas. If a lobbying corporation desires to teach that people reason worldwide warming, they are able to looking scientists to assert so. Scientists that gain this will proceed to get provides. those that don't won't. saying what human beings choose you to is rewarding. And if likeminded human beings administration the media, it facilitates your acceptance too. seem at Al Gore. worldwide warming is well-known and liberating a solid paper on that's respected. Scientists are no longer just about as noble as we are hoping. i'm interior the trenches of technological understanding, so i'm getting to be sure bits and products first hand. easily, right that's how I see your argument: You: "there is worldwide warming! And that's guy's fault! definitely everyone seems to be conscious!" [common expertise rhetoric] Me: "I disagree." You: "you will desire to be ignorant or a morally drained man or woman" [advert Homenim attack] i'd be interested in larger communicate to sparkling up those matters, yet i'm afraid that yahoo solutions would not enable such issues.

How?
Do not drive, Stop working?
Tell me why is it bad to have milder winters and wetter, warmer summers. So a hot day in the south is going to be 98 where to day it is 95/ WOW we all gong to DIE.


100 years form now kids in school will hear about the global warming of the 20 and early 21 century and wounder why some many fools believed all that hype. they will say could they not think for them selves.

What global warming?

Oh you mean the natural cycle of the earth warming and cooling as it wobbles on its axis, making different regions face more of the sun. Can't do much about that..unless you want to go to the south pole and start pushing.

Because you cannot fix what does not exist, plain and simple. All these enviro freaks who keep trying to spread the gloom and doom story about so called Global Warming have not present one shread of solid scientific proof, just a few scientists theories.

Yep. As someone said once, Al Gore did nothing to help MY environment! Or what about the fact that they drive those SUVs around, too? That doesn't help, does it?
