global warming is said to be happening to our planet, we are changing the temperature with all of our pollution. It keeps getting hotter and our glaciers are melting, this is going to have a range of consequences on the oceans. we might also be endangering some animal species that cannot survive in the hot weather. here's a link with easy to read info.

When people say global warming they usually mean that CO2 released from burning fossil fuels will warm the atmosphere. Al Gore made many hysterical claims and has really been the drama queen over it. It is likely that humans will contribute to a couple of degrees of warmer temperatures. If I were you, I wouldn't let people scare me into believing that it is even necessarily a bad thing. Many people feel the need to spread guilt because their lives are too good.
