I see a lot of people say

Question

AGW

What does this stand for? (I get global warming-what is the A for?)

Answer 1

It means against global warming. Trust me, I have a shirt that says AGW and then the definition.

Answer 2

Anthropogenic Global Warming. The word anthropogenic means - Man Made.

Answer 3

AGW- Anthropogenic (Man made) Global Warming

Don't listen to people saying AGW stands for "Anti-Global Warming" or "Against Global Warming". They are wrong.

Answer 4

Against Global Warming - short for the silly idea that humans can control the earth's climate.

Answer 5

anthropogenic global warming - it means man-made global warming.

They are four types of global warming or anti-global warming people:

1) AGW believers - it's happening, it's bad, and we're causing it.

2) Then there's people like me - It's happening, it's not bad, and we're not causing it; it's natural

3) It's not happening.

4) It's happening, it's bad, and we're not causing it. (Those people are really rare, though)

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

AGW means Anthropogenic Global Warming.

The Greek roots of anthropogenic are:

Anthropo-, means "human, human origin"

-genic, means "arising from"

AGW is global warming that is caused by human activities.

Answer 7

Anti- global warming but i could be wrong. i think its for someone who doesnt believe that global warming is man made.

Answer 8

Anthropogenic Global Warming

All planets naturally cool and warm on long cycles.

Anthropogenic ("man-made") warming is a recent phenomenon wherein the planet warms faster than normal and the cause of this increase is human activity
