The polar caps on Mars are melting faster than our arctic ice.

The ice moons of Saturn are now pools of liquid water

There are freak hurricanes at the poles on Saturn

Something has increased the reflective light we see from Venus by 40%

Even pluto has seen an increased surface activity and atmospheric change over the last decade and Pluto is as far as you can get

No - if you ask me the Sun is increasing it's output and effecting all planets and not just the Earth

Man has not been around long enough to experience real planetary change from solar cycles and that cycle is what we are heading in to.

The facts are there, it how you manipulate those finding through ignorance that fools the masses.

Why haven't they mentioned the changes on the other planets

Why do they want these changes to be exclusively for Earth and Earth alone

What is the real agenda - a carbon tax because the Sun is heating up!

I am not buying in to it or paying it!

Kiss my behind Gore

Do you see the ignorance of these people -

They will not say one thing about the other planets heating up and experiencing the same things as our planet in a serious reply

They just say man made - carbon emmissions

But the fact these planets are heating up is a moot point - its the Earth and man is responsible - and thats it

No proof - just people claiming to be chemists because they can't spell Physicist

A chemist knows nothing about astronomy or planetary changes in atmosphere

Give me a break - does someone want to actually address the other planets in question!

You can find more answers in the rings of a tree than these so called Global Warming scientists

Rings in old trees actually show other periods in time where our Earth heated up and had these problems!

Are you trying to argue that global warming isn't happening or that it's not caused by humans? You're all over the place!

For starters, it's undeniable that global warming is happening:

http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/info/warming/

Secondly, not all planets are warming, so that's not evidence that the sun is causing global warming. We don't need other planets as evidence because we can just look directly at solar activity. Solar output decreased while global warming accelerated:

"So we deliberately just kept it to a simple analysis of data which showed that since 1985 the Sun actually has been getting very, very slightly less bright. A very small effect, but it's in the wrong direction to help global warming, so that was one thing. And then the cosmic rays, having reached an all-time minimum, they've been recovering ever since."

Only one of the polar caps on Mars is melting - the one facing the sun. The other is getting bigger!

Like Earth, Mars has seasons that cause its polar caps to wax and wane. "It's late spring at the south pole of Mars," says planetary scientist Dave Smith of the Goddard Space Flight Center. "The polar cap is receding because the springtime sun is shining on it."

"Remember, though," adds Smith, "there are two polar caps on Mars--north and south. While the south polar cap is vaporizing the north polar cap is growing. It's a balancing act.

Sorry, but as long as you research ALL the science and not just the evidence which seems on the surface to prove what you want to believe, it actually all points to humans as the primary cause of our current global warming:

Yes, most informed people will agree that Global Warming is real. The flip side of it is, that it's not caused by CO2 aka Us. Global Warming has cycles of 12,000yrs w/ 100yr subcycles. Besides, CO2 is what we breathe out and plantlife breathe in. The more CO2 the more food for them, the healthier the plants and more oxygen for us to breathe and in a nutshell, better overall life on earth.

Al Gore and his minions try and argue that we're the major cause of all this climate change. Guess what, our earth has never had a stable environment. There's always change due to weather patterns, global positioning and distance to the sun. Not to mention, the Sun is displaying more energy output and thus causing changes to different planets and moons in our solar system. This being info from NASA.

Politics want to use this normal climate change as a way to cash in on the citizens. A global tax to tax our vehicles and fuels. Then they'll shove the blame on us and enforce a 1 child policy. The worst is yet to come, but it doesn't mean I'm going to give in.

First of all, you characterizations of what's happening on other planets is not accurate.

As far as "freak" hurricanes at the poles on Saturn, are they unusual occurences, or just phenomena we've been able to observe for the first time?

Pluto, actually, has been in a cooling phase, but it's never been observed over the course of a Pluto-year, so we don't know what is a "normal" seasonal change for Pluto.

The SOUTHERN polar ice cap on Mars is melting faster than our arctic ice - true. The incline of Mars' axis is much greater than ours, so what we're observing at the southern polar ice cap is a regular, periodic event known as summer.

Can you please link or source your claims? Usually when flat-earthers do this it's a link to an unscientific PR flak-piece from either a fellow flat-earther or a paid industry whore.

The scientists have NOT ignored the possibility of an increase in solar output. By measuring any potential increases, and factoring them into the current temperature increases, they've determined it to be minimal, if any effect on our current conditions.

In a word, your hypothesis has been thoroughly and completely tested by expert scientists in the field, and rejected as crap.

Global warming policies will mean more government, higher energy prices, and more costs and taxes to you!
And implementation of the Kyoto Protocol would really cost the U.S. major money. (wonder if Gore already has bought interest in that) Media has been hyping the dangers of global warming, and that helps the real agenda of Gore in 08.
Gore also said brazenly that he will push the global warming theory - "even if it's wrong." figures, want admit right now, it is really a convenient lie.
Since some professors have told the Senate that Gore's global warning theory is a out and out lie, Gore's reign of terror against global warming skeptics has already started.
Even a doomsayer admits exaggerating the global warming threat. We could actually be heading for a cooler, and not warmer, period. I think all this GW thing being pushed by Gore is going to come back and bite him on the butt, you would think the guy could find something else as a platform to run again in 08. Carbon tax, is right. This is what is is all about.

You are obviously ignoring the fact that our man-made CO2 emmissions are so bad that we are polluting the whole solar system and probably the entire universe.

The only hope for mankind, the Earth and the entire universe is for us to submit our will and our lives with complete abandon over to the care of Al Gore. If Al Gore were in charge, he would force all of the evil corporations to clean-up Saturn, Venus, etc. Meanwhile, the UN would send "exploratory committees" beyond the solor system to see what a mess Republicans have made of Creation. Of course, the U.S. would have to pay for all of this. The expense would provide an additional benefit of free healthcare (it would be free because there wouldn't be any healthcare).

Global Warming is a major concern in Europe and the rest of the world. Each year the earth moves farther away from the sun. It should be getting cooler not warmer. Pluto is a rock and not considered a planter anymore. Yes the weather is getting warmer and the poles are changing. We are receiving less rainfall every year in AZ

you realise you just negated your argument "global warming is not real because the sun is heating up" careful how you word things next time.
so, now that we agree that global warming is real, we can look at the causes.
i believe in the hypothesis that it is caused by the tilting of the earth on its axis and other natural sources.
i also believe that while not directly causing it perse, pollution does contribute to it and if there was anything we could do to at least slow it, then i am all for it. besides, clean air is loved by everyone and whats wrong with wanting to be efficient?
right-wingers just have it out for gore and the environmentalists because they like to keep things clean or make them cleaner regardless if the earth will survive us or not.
so does this mean right-wingers like pollution and dirt and disease and cancer and whatever else that entails?

Global warming IS real. I think we can all agree upon that. The question is, whether or not it's man made. We all know from our scientific analysis that the earth was far warmer in times long before humans walked on earth, even if you consider an Australopithecus a human being! I don't think we're the cleaver destroyers some ego-inflated eco-freakos would have us believe.

You've been listening to too many hours of that blowhard, Russ Limbo! Tell me, professor, what degree in science does your precious Limbo have? It is better to do whatever things that we can to reduce greenhouse emissions that will not damage our economy. It makes me sichkthat we have millions of Americans driving solo to work every day in gas guzzling SUVs! Americans are the most energy inefficient of all the people in the world. Of course, you are proud of that.

Where did you get your degree in science, from a Cracker Jack box?

Please ! don't inject common sense into anything that Algorical might spout , it's just not fair , I mean if someone told him it's cold outside and he had frost bite he would deny it and we all know Algorical is NEVER NEVER wrong , he was so well thought of even his master slick willie wouldn't endorse him till the very last second . Algorical ,big mouth Moore, same same , big mouth blow hards .
