Jacinta Moitoso: Yes, but not because of human activity.Someone want to make money out of it.
Jacinta Moitoso: Global warming isn't the debatable issue. Anthropogenic global warming is debatable. I don't know what grade you are in, but I think it's important they start teaching the difference with the two. I hear too many people speak of "global warming" like it's all a scam. Global warming is simply an average increase in temperature on the planet for an extended period of time. There are many factors that cause temperature fluctuations, and the science behind the "cycles" the earth actually go through has little left to debate, especially if it exists or not. Now anthropogenic global warming is a bit more controversial. I would say that it is futile to argue that humans have NO affect on global warming, but it's a relatively new science theory, so there will be controversy just like any new theory for a while. I think the real debate is HOW MUCH is the cu! rrent warming caused directly or indirectly from humans. Most people that think it's a conspiracy or totally a lie usually don't have much knowledge in science, and mostly have political bias and motives... Most people that are educated in science, even if they question that we are a major factor in the current global warming, do understand that we contribute to it to some degree....Show more
Hilde Heskett: If warmer temps are being recorded for the global average decade after decade, I think that means it's warming. I mean if someone sticks a thermometer in a glass full of water and ice cubes, if it says 32 degrees do they go, "LIAR!!"?
Keven Drumgole: There is no data to say that it is. Did you know In 2007, the UK High Court ruled âInconvenient Truthâ contained âNine Key Scientificâ errors?â The judge ruled it, a "political film" not a science film!. They lied to us.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/3310137...Climategate emails document ! researchers âhiding data,ââadding temps,âtheir hate fo! r dissenters.

The researchers admitted changing the data, and they MOVED THE WEATHER STATIONS IN RUSSIA & CHINA!! How can the data be valid? (There is another scientist, Fred Singer, PhD who invented the satellite temp sensors; he said the satellite readings were incorrect.) The people who think GW is happening are l! ooking at made up data! There is no proof GW is happening. The debate is over, Global Warming was a hoax. Even the commies agree....Show more
Luke Gacusan: No reasonable person denies that global warming is real - the temperature measurements tell us the earth is warming.
Dulcie Edis: "Global warming" has been changed to "global climate change". It is real.The debate needs to occur as to whether Man did it (but just a waste of emotions), whether anything can be done to moderate it (is it too late), whether we can switch to canabalism to replace all the food sources we have pushed to extinction (Soylent Green), or whether religions will let us finally control population size (or is Agent Smith correct, and we must remain a virus)....Show more
Samara Siewers: well i think it is real because didn't you recently notice that the temperature is getting hotter in the summer slightly? it is because of the fumes we burn in power plants and in cars. those fumes d! amage some part of the atmosphere called the ozone layer that protect u! s the the suns violent rays. think for a minute all those rays of heat what does heat do? melt ice, in antartica making the polar bears in-dangered of being extinct cause loss of land
Connie Dickirson: Its a hoax, we are beginning a 30 year cooling trend due to a change in ocean currents. Its called climate change and its not man made, the Earth never had a set climate, climate has always been constantly changing, infact thats why we have seasons. Al Gore admitted he just wanted to throw himself back into the politcal ring,
Tatiana Evanosky: The ozone layer protects us from UV rays, which cause skin cancer. It doesn't affect heat in any way, and isn't in any way damaged by CO2. Also, I think that "man-made global warming" is a myth, as some areas of the world are becoming colder. But I do believe that the Earth's climate is changing IN CERTAIN AREAS

Kip Ockenfels: no definitive UNBIASED data proves global warming and that is the problem, the data that is available is cherry picked and biased and therefore unreliable.this is an accepted fact now that the facts have come to light.so yes maybe w are in a warming period but it is a natural cycle and not due to man's activities on earth at all.studies of the sun in detail, now taking place , will i believe reveal data that is more pertinent thant t! he co2 hypothesis and al gore's cash induced obsession that has created a new false world religion.like the fears of cooling in the 70's the fear of warming will also evaporate as the fad it is ....Show more
Robt Heemstra: GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT REAL! If you listen to the news, they have proven the scientists to be lying to make money and stuff. And honestly, we got 12 inches of snow in Dallas, TX! Oh yeah, I call it global warming. Lol!
Kizzy Hett: Global Warming is real, but Anthropogenic (human caused) global warming is an unproven theory. Global warming is a natural reoccurring event which swings back to cooling as this wiki chart clearly shows.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:0Master_Past_200...Al Gore's version of global warming is clearly flawed.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaNcQ4Wj7bQ
Tommy Durrenberger: Yes. Sorry, you automatically lose the debate. There's no question global warming is real. That's like having to argue that gravity isn't re! al. You can see it for yourself in the global temperature data from NA! SA here:http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/Fig.A2.lr...Are you sure you have to argue it's not real, or do you have to argue that the warming is natural? It's not, but at least you can come up with some arguments for that. There's no arguing that the planet isn't warming.http://www.ecohuddle.com/wiki/global-warming-and-c...You could make an argument like Travelin' and say "my weather has been cold therefore the planet isn't warming". But you'd look kind of foolish making that argument, since your local weather covers a fraction of a percent of the planet over a very short period of time. It's basically one-one millionth of the data used in the NASA graph I linked above. But if you really have to argue global warming isn't real, that's probably the best you can do....Show more
Willa Holte: You are sunk. The debated question is too simple. The other side can simply show measurements from a variety of sources showing that the earth is warming. The most dama! ging will be the satellite measurements from UAH that show we are setting daily records for the warmest ever recorded -- these are independent from the IPCC so any of the meaningless political attacks on the IPCC won't work.To discount this simple factual information, you'll have to go to very complex explanations of climatology including the affects of El Ninos. As you get into the complicated science, your audience will not be able to understand and the other side will then present the fact that there is not one single active published climate researcher who believes your side. You audience will have to decide who is more credible on complicated nuances of paleoclimatology: every scientist in the world .. or you.Perhaps you could get the subject changed to something more reasonable: perhaps whether global warming is happening more rapidly or more slowly than was predicted by the IPCC in 2007. On that side you'll still be outgunned but the number of scientists and num! ber of studies and observations that it is happening faster than was pr! edicted just three years ago, but at least you can draw on the hyphotheses of a few credible scientists such as Roy Spencer at UAH (University of Alabama Huntsville).If you are stuck with the subject as it is, you can go to http://skepticalscience.com/ and read of how easily the opposition can knock down your every arguement and cite actual research that disproves your point. If they have discovered that site or one like it, you'll have trouble competing with those arguements. The science behind global warming is now very well developed and the conclusions are very well supported....Show more
Dexter Gold: Don't consider some thing you learn and simplest one million/two of what you spot. Of path, Global warming is truly. The final Ice age has long gone away, has it now not? So, we need to have international warming. Do humans give a contribution to international warming? Probably a few small quantity, finally we ARE Warm and we breath in oxygen and breath out CO2, we! need to be aspect of the hindrance. What is Al Gore going to do approximately it? Kill a entire lot of humans? Invariably that's what Socialists do once they take manipulate of a nation.
