Does global warmng exist?

Question

Does global warmng exist?

Answer 1

No.  If you think about it and do the research, it just doesn't add up. Not to mention everytime anything happens, it's blamed on Global Warming or tried to be used as "proof." The hurricaines! The earthquakes! The polar bears!

Not to mention that Al Gore used "The Day After Tomorrow" for the footage in his movie. And now burns more energy in his home than most Americans. Then continues to make money off of the scheme. No coincidence there.

Not only that, but there is no goal of Global Warming other than to make people scared. If after all that we've done to make things greener and more eco -friendly, why haven't we heard of any progress? It's only we're all doomed, you must do everything to stop it, and so on.

Answer 2

Absolutely.  It's been suspected since the 1970's, based on many observations; but in the last decade or so, multiple lines of evidence prove that the world's average temperature is rising at a rate that is faster than at any other time in human history.

Even the U.S. government (notoriously slow at admitting scientific findings that contradict the administration's political agenda) has finally come around; see this government website: (http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ )

Answer 3

Yes it does exist but the only question is to what extent. the goovernment sometimes makes things seem very horrible when its not too bad or it is not happening at all. they do this by using old images and videos dated decades ago for some info, but who knows ur guess is as good as mine

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

It does exist.

For those who said NO. Please explain what the increase of the average global temperature is? Why are glaciers retreating and polar ice melting?

Global Warming does exist and it doesn't mean it was done just by humans. True our use of fossil fuels will aid in the process but the process is a natural occurrence.

No matter what it was going to happen. It's happened before.

Answer 6

yes!Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and its projected continuation.

The average global air temperature near the Earth's surface increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the hundred years ending in 2005.[1] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gas concentrations"[1] via an enhanced 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.[2][3]

These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least thirty scientific societies and academies of science,[4] including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.[5][6][7] While individual scientists have voiced disagreement with some findings of the IPCC,[8] the overwhelming majority of scientists working on climate change agree with the IPCC's main conclusions.[9][10]

Climate model projections summarized by the IPCC indicate that average global surface temperature will likely rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century.[1] This range of values results from the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions as well as models with differing climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a thousand years even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized. The delay in reaching equilibrium is a result of the large heat capacity of the oceans.[1]

Increasing global temperature is expected to cause sea level to rise, an increase in the intensity of extreme weather events, and significant changes to the amount and pattern of precipitation. Other expected effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, modifications of trade routes, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.

Remaining scientific uncertainties include the amount of warming expected in the future, and how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but there is ongoing political and public debate worldwide regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences

Answer 7

No way. The government made up that story just to keep people busy.

Answer 8

yes!!  go and ask Al Gore

Answer 9

Global warming / cooling is a >>natural<< phenomenon. There is absolutely no way we can stop it from happening. Even if our civilization totally stopped all industries world wide and never fired up any fossil fuel-burning engine the current cycle will continue.

We >>might<< be able to slow its effects down and make the current cycle less severe, but nothing we do now or later is going to stop it.

Answer 10

sadly yeah it does exist! =(

Answer 11

Of course it does there is alot of evidence for it. If it is as exteme as people say it is is the debate
