Do people really belive in global warming and why?

Question

Why do people belive in global warming? Is it because its really going to happen or is it just a theory off of the movie the day after tomorrow?

Answer 1

Because there is no reason not to believe it. There is as much evidence suggesting that global warming exists as there is evidence that smoking can cause cancer. Neither is proven and much evidence can be put forward to argue against both.

Answer 2

When every mainstream scientific organization (10's of thousands of scientists) states man is contributing to climate change (unnatural) it's not a difficult choice to make.

Answer 3

Because some learned scientist tells us it's happening!

I mean, really, it's in all the museums. GLOBAL WARMING IS HAPPENING NOW!!!

No, it's not really happening.

Did you know that, while cars are giving off stuff that warms the environment, they also give off stuff that COOLS the environment. :D

Answer 4

It's actually happening mate

why do you think that there are more dangerous tropical storms forming, harsher temperatures, and since the ocean's temperature is increasing, the north and south poles are melting, (before and after pics here http://www.livescience.com/environment/0...

Answer 5

You will see many misinformed people/children here parroting opinions without becoming informed.

Are you willing to become informed?

Read this web page with great graph:

World temperatures falling while CO2 keeps rising.

This 10 years of recorded temperatures pretty well disproves the CO2 greenhouse 'Theory'.

It's the Sun's activity!

Answer 6

watch The Inconvienent Truth by Al Gore.

Answer 7

You can't be that old. If you were over thirty you would know global warming is a real issue. It's the Republicans that won't admit it. Of course both Bush and Cheney have oil interests and it would make them look bad to admit that Global warming is truly happening.

Answer 8

Because its happening- a proven fact.   What isn't proven completely is that we are causing it.   How do people still not understand this????

Answer 9

-cont- to  Richard's answer-  all of which would lose an unprecedented amount of funding if they were to expose AGW as the hoax it is.

Answer 10

I believe in global warming because it's a scientific fact. If you haven't seen An Iconvienient Truth, you should!

Answer 11

Watch Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek and your brains in your head.  The movie is so full of inaccuracies that it can no longer be shown to school children in England without the teacher first pointing out the inconvenient lies.

While you're at it, ponder why Al Gore thinks that 'going green' is just for the little people, but doesn't apply to hot shots like himself.  He uses more electricity in one month at his home than I use in mine all year.  But I'M the one who is supposed to make changes?

The latest debacle in this movie?  The glacier calving scenes?  They're all fake.  They are taken - without permission mind you - from the fake movie about global warming.

Look, this stuff is all cyclical and related to sun spots.  Although you haven't heard it anywhere but on Paul Harvey's newscast, we have reversed 100 years of global warming in the last year.  Why?  Because we have had exactly no sun spots in the past year.  Why?  Because we are at the bottom of an 11 year sun spot cycle.  What we really need to be gearing up for is a cold spell.

It is interesting to wonder exactly what we humans have been doing the last year that has resulted in such a reversal.

While we're on the subject, how, exactly have we also caused global warming on Mars?

Never, never forget the number one cause of global warming.

The sun.

Answer 12

no its not a theory.. because of us using aerosols etc, were polluting the air, wich ruins the ozone layer, wich inturn makes the place hotter, wich then melts the ice caps and will eventually lead to the flooding of the earth.

Answer 13

Anyone, like our friend Richard above, that is willing to predict 4 billion years of climate based on less than 100 years of legitimate study cannot be considered accurate.
