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

All current scientific indications are yes. The question is when and how? Anyway I doubt you'll be around when it happens.
Our planets history shows that we have had many ice ages. The exact cause and timing of them depends of the precipitating incident. Like the dinosaur extinction was caused by an impact with a large space body throwing up massive amounts of dust which blocked out the sun and caused the earth to freeze. Large volcanic eruptions can also cause global cooling by doing the same thing.

yes we are, i don't know when but i did see it on the science channel. global warming melts the ice so freshwater mixes with salt water, this stops currents from running properly and then heat isin't distributed properly, then we have another ice age. and remember no species has ever existed for that long...

People have been saying "the end is near" forever. It's a crock.
