Are there actualy people who don't believe in global warming. I mean, I already believed in it before I saw "An Inconvenient Truth," but now I can't see why people wouldn't believe in global warming. Yes, I know that we are going through a "Natural Warming Period" but humans have boosted this alot.
Earth has increased by an average temperature of 1.8 degree's farenhieght but it is worse near the poles. and now no matter what the earth will increase an average of 2 degrees in the next 50 years.
"If you look at the ten hottest years ever measured, they've all ocured in the last 14 years, and the hottest of all was 2005," Said Al Gore in his movie "An Inconvenient Truth." And during August of 2005 Huricane Katrina caused 1,836 deaths and 81.2 dollars in damage. Earth has already sent us many warnings and eventualy she is gonna stab us when well least expect it, unless everyone starts acting right now.

Hurricane Camille. 1969. Rocked Pass Christian, MS, worse than The Scorpions. 255 dead. Though this wasn't near Katrina's toll, it's worse per square mile, as it was much smaller.
The Labor Day Hurricane. 1935. Before modern forecasting and transportation, hurricanes were deadlier than now. 423 dead in the Florida Keys.
bleurg
The Galveston Hurricane. 1900. Big, bad, and even deadlier than Katrina. 6000+ death toll.
Major hurricanes seem to take a 35 year cycle, give or take a few years.
The ice age cycle. We're still in one as there are still polar ice caps, which didn't exist in the time of the dinosaurs. Much of America was shallow sea.
This was all before this "recent" crisis. It's a natural cycle, it's gonna happen no matter what we do.
By the way, I'm fourteen. Don't just eat everything that people tell you. It's up to you to make your own decisions based on your own experiences.

So you believe everything Al said because he showed you some graphs? He didn't show the warming periods over millions of years. Global warming exists, it's just most likely not man made. Hurricanes as strong as Katrina have been occuring since the Earth was made. Also, hurricanes could have devastated people in other countries a hundred years ago, but we wouldn't have heard about it. That's because you can get news so easily now. Why do you believe Gore? He's just looking for attention. Jeez.

Ever measured - when? Sure it's been hotter in the past. There isn't any question that it was. So why does Al take such a small sample like 100 years or less? It that an easy way to pick his data to fit his conclusion?
If Katrinia was caused by "Global Warming" where are all the hurricanes this year or last?

The issue of global warming is not a question of belief. It is only a question of science. As in, whether or not someone "believes" that the earth revolves around the sun is irrelevant. What matters is what is actually happening, which is independent of what people believe, but is approachable by what can be scientifically proven.
That being said, I agree with you that the science behind the theory of global warming has not been refuted.

listen there are a lot of sciences pointing to the fact that global warming has not had that much effect by humans. what i do not understand is why not save energy anyway? what is the harm? nothing can really go wrong from energy conservation.

Oh, it's real, it occurs regularly, along with the ice ages.
