Anyone who doesn't believe it is either miss-informed, ignorant or looking to profit off things that are causing it.
The global average air temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74 degrees during the last 100 years.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations" via the greenhouse effect.
Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.
These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.
The primary causes for it are:
* increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases
* global changes to land surface, such as deforestation
* increasing atmospheric concentrations of aerosols.
The primary ways you will see the results of global warming will be in the weather. Changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation may result in flooding and drought (both of which have happened extensively in the past 2 years).
Other expected effects include water scarcity in some regions and increased precipitation in others, changes in mountain snowpack, and adverse health effects from warmer temperatures.

No. Neither does this guy, 99+% of all scientists, every major world leader, and EVERY major world scientific organization.
"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
Here are two summaries of the mountain of peer reviewed data that convinced Admiral Truly and the vast majority of the scientific community, short and long.

OF COURSE GLOBAL WARMING IS THERE!! Why do you think the ice caps are melting! Why do you think Australia is in their longest drought in nearling 100 years!! NO **** the Sun is contributing to Global Warming, but this becuase the ozone layer is being thinning out because of US!

nope.global warming is there. we can notice it everyday.the world is getting hotter and hotter everyday which is an example of global warming.because we are used to the tempreature everyday we wont notice it.

No, I prefer not to stick my head in the sand and ignore all scientific data.

Of course there is global warming but it is not only caused by green house gases and a hole in the Ozone.
There are over 6 billion people on Earth, each giving off body heat. Think about being in a room with a lot of people in it. The more people the hotter the room.

Ocean temps and overall temps are increasing every year. Records being broken every year.
Call it whatever you like.
