What's the big deal? If you leave off the greenhouse gases term, you simply cannot match the observed data. See:

http://www.ipcc.ch/SPM2feb07.pdf

for examples.

It's true the consensus of scientists is not proof. But, science is driven by data. Without the data, there would be no consensus. So the existence of the consensus does mean there's data. From a guy who truly understands data:

"I wasn’t convinced by a person or any interest group—it was the data that got me. I was utterly convinced of this connection between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change. And I was convinced that if we didn’t do something about this, we would be in deep trouble.”

Vice Admiral Richard H. Truly, USN (Ret.)
Former NASA Administrator, Shuttle Astronaut and the first Commander of the Naval Space Command

Good websites for more info, packed with data and proof:

Answer 2

Global warming is not man made. And if it is, then what would you call the ara after the ice age. You know when the world started warming up again. Besides it's scientifically proven that this period of time is only a rotation of weather on earth. Things happening now happened 50-200 years ago.

Answer 3

No offense, but I don't think you're going to get very far with that attitude. It's statements like "and if your a fool that doesn't believe its happening what is it going to take to change your mind?" that really turns people off. Please don't be the environmental equivalent of PETA and ruin a good cause.

And "An Inconvenient Truth" as a source probably won't score any points with the opposition either.

Answer 4

Global warming is indeed a fact, the planet has been warming for 18,000 years although in recent decades it's been warming faster than at any known period in history.

Certainly humans are contributing but there is also an underlying natural trend which has been overshadowed by the human effect. It's not fair to solely lay the blame on humans although the change beyond natural parameters is our fault.

Am I helping out? Yes, we've implemented many things based around reducing, reusing and recyling. Over the last few years we've reduced our carbon footprint by about 40% and if we get planning permission for a wind turbine it will fall by about 25% more.

Answer 5

I threw a party at my house for my neighbors to play games, win prizes, learn of websites, and share helpful tips to show how we could do our part to conserve energy and slow global warming. They loved it! We had it in the garage and everyone on our part of the street came.

Answer 6

Drive as little as possible except back and fourth to work. I moved to an apt that has everything i need within walking distance....1-3 blocks away except for where I work. I know global warming is getting worse every year....going outside and seeing you sunburn in 20-30 min instead of 80-90 min from 5-10 yrs ago.

Answer 7

If ever there was a bimbo in the Senate, it would have to be my senator, Barbara Boxer. She has the brain power of the average retarded baboon. It is interesting that the alarmists always try to show concensus instead of concrete evidence. The evidence they do show tends to be anectdotal, non-scientific, and irrelevant.

Answer 8

Don't mind them. They just seek attention.
You could also check out NASA, to see what they write about global warming.

Answer 9

belief isnot required, but the studay of the facts from both sides. if you equally look at both sides you will see fairly quickly that the earth has been warming for the last 15,000 years. and will continue to do so. regardless of human activity.

Answer 10

>> and if your a fool that doesn't believe its happening <<

Yes, science by intimidation. Believe me or you're a fool.

Not like facts would prove your point. I noticed that they were conveniently missing.

Newspaper articles declaring something is real is not scientific proof.

Inconvenient truth is as real and factual as the polar bears that stared in the movie. Ever wonder why they used animated bears instead of real ones?
