Who thinks global warming is real?

I think global warming is real because I believe the data behind it and the science makes sense. Just randomly, actually, I read an article in the Toronto Star two days ago that said that the temperature rose by another couple of degrees in the last year and this has happened continuously during previous years.

I think the problem is really multidimensional, meaning that it overlaps in many different areas, including economics; education and research including biology, chemistry; public policy, international relations; corporate policy, etc.. Everything in the world in connected to global warming.

It's such a big issue that I think some people might be denying that it's happening because it's really scary and it affects us all in a really profound way.

Anyway, I think climate change is real. We can reduce it by each of us making small changes in our everyday lives that, over billions of people, will add up to something, rather than nothing before. Also, there are people who have dedicated their lives to this problem in one way or another and their efforts will hopefully make a positive change on a much larger scale. In this way, we have everyone doing something for the world.

Cliches cause problems in communicating details because they create a picture. For each person that picture is different, so the phrase "Global Warming" means something different for you than it does for me. The media-cliche package of Global Warming has connotations that are not true, usually that rampant man-made pollution is causing every violent-weather event. This deception is used to the advantage of greedy businessmen and corrupt politicians. They will be able to claim that they are blameless because the mass of people didn't investigate the details, content with the pictures induced by the cliches. I'm not going to agree with anybody that "global warming is real" if it means that I ascribe to that cliche.

Instant media makes it possible to view many extreme weather events daily. This does not mean that there are more as a result of human occupation of the earth. I do admit that it has been getting a fraction of a degree warmer. The beginning for the current warming cycle was AD1750, referred to as the "Little Ice Age", so it is good that it is getting warmer. One thing is for sure: climate does change. It does not change as a result of pollution, though that may have an effect, and should be avoided or mitigated where possible.

Yeah i think that Global warming is real and its a result of the chemical process and science can explain it well

ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATIONS are higher today than at any time in at least the past 650,000 years. They are about 35% higher than before the industrial revolution, and this increase is caused by human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, as are methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and a host of other trace gases. They occur naturally in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases act like a blanket for infrared radiation, retaining radiative energy near the surface that would otherwise escape directly to space. An increase in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and of other greenhouse gases augments the natural greenhouse effect; it increases the radiative energy available to Earth’s surface and to the lower atmosphere. Unless compensated for by other processes, the increase in radiative energy available to the surface and the lower atmosphere leads to warming. This we know.

Usually it would have snowed by Thanksgiving where I live, but it's like Spring outside... 67F degrees at nighttime no less. This is extremely unusual.

I'm a skeptic, but short term and local changes in the weather don't mean anything. Climate changes on a scale of centuries to millennia.

A better answer is, if you believe in it, why don't you want the solutions that work:

"If man-made global warming was taken seriously by its supporters they would advocate genuine solutions such as adding small amounts of iron to the oceans to cause the microscopic plants to multiply and absorb the carbon dioxide back into the biosphere whence it originally came.

A solution both practical and inexpensive.

Failing that, they would advocate replacing the base load electrical power generation with mass produced nuclear power plants as one of the quickest, cheapest and most effective means of reducing carbon emissions.

If its supporters don't take it seriously, why should anyone else?"

Global warming is a scientific fact. What is disputed is the cause of global warming.

Who thinks global warming is real? Suckers!

Even the UN doesn't admit to AGW.

What you are referring to is weather. That has little to do with climate.

At least that is what you greenies said when it was record cold for our area a few years ago. Tell your logic to the British who are undergoing an unusual cold spell. Remember all those parkas in the stands at the last Olympics last Summer?

plz visit this site , i can clear ur concepts about global warming
