It is already. See this, peer reviewed data:

But forget about Gore. He doesn't make the data.

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and almost all the scientists, short and long.

The data is why:
"There's a better scientific consensus on this [climate change] than on any issue I know - except maybe Newton's second law of dynamics. Global warming is almost a no-brainer at this point,You really can't find intelligent, quantitative arguments to make it go away."

Dr. Jerry Mahlman, NOAA

The planet started warming 18,000 years ago as part of a natural cycle and this brought about the 'end of the ice age'. For the last 10,000 years the world warmed very slowly then a couple of hundred years back the Industrial Revolution began and humans started emiting substantial quantities of greenhouse gases. Since then the rate of warming has accelerated dramatically and it's been getting faster all the time. We're currently warming 17 times faster than is naturally possible.

If we continue the way we are doing then there will be a probably rise of about 4 degrees Celsius* by the end of the century and although it might not sound a big deal the effects will be well and truly felt by almost everyone.

* The actual rise is likely to be between 2 and 3 degrees because we've already slowed the rate at which greenhouse gas emissions were increasing.

It's already started warming. The global mean temperature has increased by over .6 Cº (1.6 Fº) in the past century. Which doesn't seem like much, but remember that it only took a drop of 3 Cº to put us into an ice age.

Thats nothing, Monsanto et al, have produced pesticides to the point that it has kill off about 25% of the honey bees,
(Monsanto pays about $100 million in PAC money to be 'overlooked')

Honey bees are responsible for 70% of what we eat.
W/O honey bees we will stave to death in 4 years

Chinas water tables are 200 feet below 25 years ago, some of their rivers don't make it to the ocean any more


Gotta move back to Vermont where things happen 20 years later than anywhere else :-)

The earth goes through cycles of where there is more CO2 in the ozone. This also makes the temperature of the earth change overtime. Over the last 100 years the overall average temperature of the earth has change .7 degrees.

Not to say we're going to die, but it's already warming.
