Global Warming is caused by air pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuel (Gasoline, Oil). When the sun's heat gets to earth it is usually reflected back into space but because of air pollution the sun's heat is trapped in our atmosphere. Since heat is trapped it builds up and causes Global Warming. It that simple. It is unfortunate that not alot of people knows about this. Some people even say only God knows when the truth is we know or can know and can do something about it.

The Earth's temperature has been rising (very gradually) since the early 19th century, long before motor cars, aircraft etc. There is absolutely no correlation between CO2 emissions and temperature increases. Indeed, for 4 decades after 1940 when industrialisation was increasing, particularly after the end of WW2 and motor cars and air travel became commonplace, the world temperature actually fell. At that time (the 1970s) we were being scared with stories of a new Ice Age. The world's temperature has always increased and decreased, sometimes by a lot, sometimes by a small amount.. It rose in the middle ages and there are attested records of vineyards in northern England, for example, something which would be unheard of today. Then from about 1500 overall temperatures fell and there was the 'little ice age' Look at the pictures of Bruegel, pictures of frost fairs on the Thames, for evidence. The present scares about global warming are just that. Remember there are many people who make lots of money from it - from the local council official called 'The Global Warming Officer' to scientists who receive vast research grants.

Not really. Just nature doing what only nature can do without reason, change. "Global warming" exists only as a paranoid delusion. It received notice that was undeserving of worry or fear and cannot be 'changed' or 'fixed' or 'affected/caused by humans either way'. It's a moot point that need not be thought about. It just causes needless mass panic simply because a few crackpots got squeamish about something that nothing can be done about.
And that is the 100% truth.

It didn't just 'happen' out of nowhere. It's been an ongoing process for years now. People are just finally starting to notice and hear about global warming because NOW it is in a really bad stage ,
and people are actually noticing now because
you can see the effects now (eg polar caps melting in the Artic). It's because of people i guess.. all the greenhouse gases .. released carbon dioxide .. all the countries in the world, combined together .. you get global warming.

Some say greenhouse effect, some say pollution, but only God knows.
