Answer 1

Watch this video. We live in a very fragile eco-system that is methodically being destroyed in many ways. Global Warming is only part of the story.

Answer 2

Like anyone here, I can't say for sure, but the evidence at this point is heavily in favour. While scientists differ, an ever-increasing number agree that the evidence suggests the earth is warming. While skeptic point to previous warnings about ice ages and so on, global warming theory has been around since the early-mid 80s as a theory that was being taken seriously by the scientific community, originally as 'the Greenhouse effect'.

So while other theories were forgotten, more and more evidence has come to support this one.

The other issue to consider is that those opposing almost always have a vested interest- political, financial or personal. They constantly obscure the value of independent data, data from sources that don't have a vested or financial interest.

Considering these issues is basic to critical thought and reason.

Answer 3

No one has come up with an equation or mathematical model that predicts what the temperature of the Earth should be as a function of time (for the last 1 billion years). We can't explain ice ages or the ending of ice ages or why the temperature of Mars has gone up 1.75 degrees C in the last 20 years. It is interesting to note that the rise of the inefficient gas guzzling SUV happened during the Clinton years, when the good professor Al Gore was drinking mint tea, living in his home that burns 12.9 times the average energy of the average Hollywood Gummo-Marxist actor's mansion, and he never said a thing about global warming. Follow the money!!

Answer 4

Global warming is very true.

Man-made global warming is also very true.

You see, there are many types of groups in this debate.

1. There are the ones who believe and try to stop global warming.
2. There are those who believe in global warming, but not man-made, as a sort of "middle grounds".
3. There are those who believe it's all fake and just a conspiracy made up that involves government money. Also called the idiots who need to do more than read "what they think" is true and need to research on the topic.

Why is global warming so persecuted? Because people don't read both sides of the story. Go research global warming on the scientific scale and you will find charts, graphs, numbers, data that suggest global warming. Go read something like the site of "the Great Global Warming Swindle" and you will see nothing but "facts" that are "proven" by "scientists."

And what evidence do they have to back this up? None.

If you want to really learn about it, go to the EPA's site and read their data. It will give you the scientific data you need to really understand.

Answer 5

Although some people will have answers to the contrary, I am certain that Global Warming is true.

One of the best ways to learn about it is to go to the Planet Earth site (That TV show recently from the BBC-which talks about what will happen, soon).

One (some say controversial) place for great info, is, of course, An Inconvinient Truth: A Global Warning. Al Gore give some important info, and also includes some humor to get the message across.

Answer 6

Global warming is true. It's why North America and Europe aren't covered with glaciers, and it's been happening for a very, very long time.

Man made global warming is false.

Answer 7

Definitely true.It's an issue every politician and scientists are talking about right now!Global warming is such a big issue that even a movie is made to raise awareness of this issue.The movie is called An Inconvenient Truth.You should try to watch that.Also,try finding out more about Global warming on yahoo or google.You'll be surpirsed at how far you've lack of information on global warming!

Answer 8

Thinking one way or another does not make it so.

In science, you can never be sure. But that doesn't mean you let such things cripple you from making meaningful progress. Rest assured though, that the more certain someone claims their view is, the more deceitful they are being.

The two jacks gave the best answers.

Instead of arguing with your friends, why not find some common ground - things you ALL can agree on - and discuss achievable goals, and ways you can support each other's efforts in making this world a better place for everybody?

Answer 9

True,
Here is a site that explains it in a simple way but states the facts. A lot of sites out there on the subject that are more descriptive than this one.
