It's real, it's just a matter of if people are causing it, or if it's a natural phenomena that we have no impact on.
Just thought I'd share because so many people are ignorant on the topic.
Wow. You people are dense as hell.

Taylor - it is interesting that you would quote Goebells but then give numerous examples of exactly how the right are following his very strategy.
1. There is no cooling trend - this is utter nonsense.
http://grist.org/climate-energy/global-warming-stopped-in-1998/
2. Nobody changed the "cause" - yes the term "climate change" seems to have taken over from the term "global warming" but this has nothing to do with the scientific community or the arguments they are making. The term "climate change" was preferred by Bush White House as they believed it sounded less scary than "global warming". To take the lead in changing the terminology of the debate and then use that change in terminology as an argument is a clear sign of the fundamental lack of honesty on the part of the denialists.

3. "They" did that because "they" are the Bush administration who were desperately trying to weaken the case of the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community.
4. Saying it a second time doesn't change the fact it is a lie
5. Nobody denies the climate has changed before, naturally - this is a strawman argument as it completely ignores the actual debate - again a tactic often employed by those who know they are losing.

6. Nobody has said what the "proper temperature" should be. But they have pointed out that human behaviour is creating risks for humans.
7. Some scientists did. But it was never the basis of the sort of consensus we have now.

Bad Wolf - another piece of nonsense from the denialists. There is no correlation of other planets warming at the same rate as Earth
http://grist.org/climate-energy/mars-and-pluto-are-warming-too/
Jeeper claims "leading climate scientist all agree, there has been no change in global temperatures since 1998"
Leading climate scientists make no such claim - only denialists trying to further thier lies say that.

Do not consider some thing you read and only one/2 of what you see. Of direction, global warming is real. The last Ice age has gone away, has it not? So, we must have international warming. Do humans contribute to international warming? On the whole some small quantity, in any case we're warm and we breath in oxygen and breath out CO2, we ought to be a part of the main issue. What is Al Gore going to do about it? Kill a entire lot of men and women? Always that's what Socialists do once they take manipulate of a country. Is that higher than destroying their financial system and inflicting thousands to starve to loss of life?

Global warming doesn't Necessarily mean it wouldn't snow. even extreme cold in some places is a sign of Global warming. The sea level is rising too and the amount of toxins released into the atmosphere are much which pretty much explains that it really is happening.

Speaking of "ignorant in the topic" and "dense" we know exactly what's causing it and it is largely, by a very big margin, human activity. The rate of warming that is happening is in no way natural.

there is no debate about global warming..the earth is warming and people are causing it..
only people on the far right deny that its happening or sometimes admit its happening but natural
Amongst scientists who don't work for oil and coal industry..there is NO DEBATE
