Does global warming exist? Yes. Does 'man-made' global warming exist? NO!.
The earth is currently warming up following several centuries of cooling known as the "little ice age." The little ice age was caused by a reduction in the sun's output known as the maunder minimum. As the sun's output has increased, the earth's temperature has risen.
Dan, venus proves that CO2 causes warming? Look at mars, it's average temperature is -81*F, and it's atmosphere is mostly (95%) carbon dioxide.

Yes, since the end of the last glacial age about 10,000 years ago the planet has been warming, and it will continue to warm until the cycle changes again and we enter into another glacial age who knows when? However, no matter what humans do or don't do, the planet will continue to warm even if we never emitted another greenouse gas, drove another gas powered car, or burned coal, etc. Warming and cooling of the planet are part of the natural cycle of the planet. And nature rules. I think there is something to be said for ending pollution, but it will not stop global warming. I recently read a condensed version of An Inconvenient Truth and nowhere in the book was any mention of nuclear power. Nowhere. I wonder why, hmmmmmmm?? Could it be. . . oh no, of course not, he wouldn't be trying to fool us. . . . would he?

Yes! Global Warming exists! Ice in the North Pole and the South Pole is melting every second! If this continues, there will be more disasters happening as there will be more water. It could led to flooding, etc!

Yes global warming does exist .. the world is getting hotter and more ice caps are melting every day . If we dont soon stop it our planet will be no more.

Is there any question that pumping carbon dioxide and other pollutants into our atmosphere does NOT cause global warming? Look at Venus! 750 degrees and its atmosphere is MOSTLY carbon dioxide.
By the way, the Earth has natural cycles in which it goes from hot to cold to hot again. 10,000 years ago there was an ice age. Today it is much warmer. My point is that a "NATURAL" cycle should take thousands of years. Human beings are speeding this cycle up, so it may only take hundreds. This will likely send much of our planets plants and animals into a sort of climate shock. We must do something, ANYTHING, to slow down this warming process. Because I don't want my childrens' children to live in hell on earth!

The globe may be warming but I don't believe humans have as big a role as Al Gore would have us believe.

We shouldn't have to "think" or "believe" that it exist or not. We should know.
Science is knowledge. No one ever says 'Do you think the Earth revolves around the Sun?' because we know what is right.
Science today is lazy so they jump to conclusions based on partial knowledge and cause more harm than good.

it is not man-made, but i believe we are currently in a warming trend.
watch this video and let me know if you think it exists:

Yes I do..... there is evidence everywhere..... some people like to say it was hotter years back, but it's slowly getting warmer now.
It's a known fact.
