We are recovering from an ice age, of course the average temperatures are going to go up with time.

Global warming is occurring because we're coming out of an ice age? An astute observation, Chris! But that's meaningless, isn't it? "Recovering from an ice age" means that the temperature is going up. So what you're saying here is that the temperature is going up because the temperature is going up.
I suppose you would also say that the temperatures go up in the Summer because we're coming out of Winter...

The rapidly rising temperature after an Ice Age is Global Warming, so it does exist.
The current average temperature is lower than was ever seen in the previous Ice Age. I have never seen even an attempt at an explanation for that fact by any GW alarmist.
If you look up the names of the ages when the temperature was about 22C, you will find they were the most productive in earth's history. The earth was filled with plant and animal life. Only disasters have ever caused the temperature to get as low as the current average.

While Climate Crisis can not get any more real than the cold hard evidence produced by many environmental scientists. 156 nation leaders from around the world had met in a conference to sign the Kyoto Treaty Agreement to implement environmental strategies to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gases (ghg's) to prevent the tipping of Global Warming temperatures and the catastrophic effects if we don't act now.
Please take a look at this 9 minute Slide video that describes the actions if we do nothing to prevent the worst.

I am disgusted by the fact that some people just think that they are better and more knowledgeable than the prominent scientists in the field of environmental studies. How and why did you come up with the idea tha global warming doesn't exist. Maybe we need your bibliography or reference list for coming up with that question and influencing people negatively. Instead of owning up to our mistakes, we humans keep denying it until it no longer can be resolved. Get some sense into yourself by researching actual data rather than opinions of some "bufoons" (quoting from the person above me)

Finally a smart person on yahoo answers.
You should see where they measure the temperature of the earth. Parking lots, next to trash incinerators, and other places that are abnormally warm.
Scientists say Global Warming is real because if they do, they will get a job studying it in the future. Few scientists have the balls to admit that it is a myth.

Award of Nobel Prize to Al Gore and Pachauri has proved that global warming exists and is affecting our environment. Even burning bulbs are contributing to GW. browse the World Bank website that has my solution to GW - http://dmblog.worldbank.org/mirrors-can-bring-light-rural-homes

No offense, but do you really think that thousands of scientists wouldn't have considered this? And the leaders of most every country. And EVERY major scientific organization? They all disagree that the present warming is part of a natural cycle. Are they all ignorant about natural changes? Stupid? Dishonest?
They know, because of the scientific data, that the present warming is not natural. More here:

I think man has created a problem that didnt exist before 100 or so years ago due to the industrial revolution. How could it not effect the environment? We are all in this together. The whole world is effected even if there are nations which dont contribute to the problem.....like the peoples who live in the trees in Borneo...Their environment is still effected by what industrial nations are doing.
just a thought.

Yes, but the rate of change suddenly started getting faster about 100 years ago. And since the ice age has been ending for 10,000 years now, there must be another factor adding to the warming. A new factor that started about 100 years ago. Now what could that be? Hmmmmm.

Well, after nearly a decade of "above average" temperatures, and with the way weather seems to cycle itself, I'm just wondering if in the next decade, we have lower than average temperatures, is everyone going to start crying that the next 'Ice Age" is coming? And what will they blame that on......
