well enough my ranting is global warming a hoax or the real deal take a look at at least 1 link before u make up ur mind, i suggest the one from NASA.

http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/ClimateTimeMachine/climateTimeMachine.cfm

Fist iceless summer in the north pole possibly 2. if that link doesnt help i have them talking about it on cnn.com. if u want me to put it up. and i mean north greenland will also melt cause that's part of the pole..at least 3 feet of water world wide maybe more millions displaced, staving for lack of food. stick your head in the sand, and when there is blood, its on you

Answer 1

In my view global warming is real. Even if it is not going to affect us today, it will badly affect our future generations . So, we should take immediate steps to solve this universal problem.

Answer 2

Just want to say to a commenter that cattle and the methane they produce is part of "our fault" since we grow them.

I advised my relatives in Tampa to move...

Answer 3

darling its real, we should all try to help not contrubute to it, recycling its good to do also get a solar powered car.

Answer 4

There's many controversies on both sides but mainly what we're advertised with these days is the fact that is does exist. Most people don't seem to see the other side with actual facts that it doesn't exist. I'm gonna have to say it's actually unable to be determined at the moment because of both facts of the 10,000 years of increasing then decreasing climate as well as the facts about carbon in in our atmosphere. I honestly think it's both put together since this probably is a natural cycle of the earth but us humans are just increasing the intensity of this cycle.

Answer 5

My, My how idiotic to think we will have mastered Space travel in the next 50 years. We have'nt even managed to put a man back on the moon in the last 40 years.

So typical of people to be concerned only for themselves and not for the next generation.

Greenland was never called greenland because of how green it was, It was named Greenland to get people to want too move there. The same guy (Lief Erricson or Eric the Red, I think, I forget which at the moment) previously discovered Iceland and after having named it "Iceland", found that very few people wanted to immigrate to it. That's why he named his next discovery Greenland. It was trickery. How simplistic, Does that mean you think America was so named because hundreds of years ago America was "A merry place".. Maybe Rotterdam was named so because hundreds of years ago a "Rotten Dam" was discovered  there. LOL get real.

Actually, Most Reputable Scientist came to their conclusion that Global Warming "is real" long before Al Gore even had an opinion on the subject, so that is a moot point.

Someone apparently has been brainswashed by the Bushites, He's probably still looking for those invisible weapons of mass destruction too.

and no, I'm not a democrat. I'm an independent. I don't let any political party draw my conclusions for me

Some people will never learn until it's to late.

Answer 6

global warming is real.and you know global warming is increasing day by day only because of human activities.increasing of pollution day by day with which the temperature is increasing which is cause the mountains very much.andglaciers are melting at a great speed.

Answer 7

UM LOOK AT WHATS HAPPENING TO OUR WORLD!!! goodbye polar bears im gonna miss u! =|

Answer 8

There's plenty of scientific data collected from over the years that proves it's real   Anyone who still believes its a hoax needs to read more, or at least reliable quality information.  I mean are we faking years of thermostat readings? c'mon...we have scientist from all over the world reporting the same results.  People who think it's a hoax don't trust anyone so they're blind to everything.  REALITY FOLKS!

Answer 9

First link is KEWL... love that shot.. of course what they did NOT say is that that is a 20 FOOT sea level rise... ipcc only predicts INCHES in the next century.. so how long is it going to get 20 feet?!? 20 to thirty CENTURIES??

Second link is again fun to watch.. nice time lapse photo of sea level rise over the last decade... ever wonder why they dont' show it over the last 2 centuries.. instead of the last 2 decades... reason is there is that they don't like the way the graph looks.. it is a VERY subtle increase.. they pick dates of little or no change (1850) to begin their curve.. then pick the nearest date of maximum change to end it... and instead of data fitting ALL data.. they FIRMLY place the beginning and end dates. then fit a curve that mediates the data points in between.. thus ensuring the curve they WANT you to see.

you say it is the first ice less summer of the north pole ever but we really don't know that.. remember until the advent of satellites we had ZERO means of monitoring the ice covered areas... also we don't KNOW this one will be ice less. it is simply a theory

Global warming alarmists amaze me... if i asked you if you believed in god.. you would say provide to you reproduceable FACTS that demonstrate a god and you will believe.. but you accept global warming with NO reproduceable facts.. touting theory as if it were fact.

Pa'd historian one note.. you can't proof to me that people don't live on Pluto does that mean that it is true?!?!

the burden of proof is on those PURPORTING a theory NOT on those skeptics who find it hard to believe.

Answer 10

THE EARTH WILL SURVIVE NO MATTER WHAT WE DO TO IT, ITS BEEN THROUGH ALOT WORSE BEFORE.... WE JUST MIGHT NOT SURVIVE! the global time machine link was pretty cool... great visualization... If I showed you a picture of a unicorn would you believe they are real?

global warming is happening, its been happening since the last ice age about 10,000 years ago...  YEah its all our fault even though we've only been burning fossil fuels for a little over 100 years, we've caused all of global warming in that time. And the fact that glaciers have been melting and receeding for 10,000 years, way before man was doing anything. We have contributed to the problem but its not as much our fault as it is the earth itself, and think about how much methane cattle produce every year. and other animals. I saw something last night about how cattle produce about 1/5 of the worlds green house gases. 1/5! just from live stock...

And to Julie D down at the bottom, most of the cattle in the world live in India with over 250 million head of cattle (which they think are sacride) and will never do anything to change the way they live, most of the heat and light produced in that country (India) comes from burning cow poo... I am dead serious! look it up... in rural India not major cities...

Answer 11

Theirs no proof that its real..

Answer 12

Maybe its a natural cycle? Every 10,000 years this happens? Who knows?

Answer 13

If I could make $100 million like Al Gore has I'd say it's real but since his power bill is 20 times that of the average American, I'd say it's a hoax.

Did you ever notice that the environmentalists who cry the loudest live in the urban areas of this country that create most of the pollution and use the most fossil fuels?

Damned Hypocrites.

Answer 14

Right now I would say its s theroy there is no proof.

Answer 15

it is real. i'm telling you. people who deny don't really have any proof that can prove it is fake

Answer 16

There is no proof that it is not real. haa

There is certainly a natural 12,000 year cycle, but what scientist are seeing today. The breadth and depth of the warming and the speed at which it is happening has not been seen in the fossil record for over a 'Million" years. I don't think it's realistic to think that can be attributed to a 12 thousand year cycle

So people can bury their head in the sand if they want too. But denial of whats happening won't make it stop.

It's definitely happening and it is real.

Big business is spending millions in publicity and Washington lobbyist every year to convince people and especially our politicians that it's not happening.

So if it is really just a hoax, why spend all that money convincing people?

Answer 17

My  My,  You sound like you're in a panic-state over this global warming thing, and you apparently have been thoroughly brainwashed by Al Gore and the "Greenies".    Just to put your mind at ease:

Most reputable scientists disregard Al Gore's version of global warming and his catastrophic predictions for our world as we know it.  

The Earth goes thru normal heating and cooling cycles which last over millions of years, and scientists say we might even be heading into another cooling cycle (ice age).  

But not to worry, by that time we will be long gone and humans will have mastered space travel and will be able to inhabit many other heavenly bodies which are more accomodating to us.  

BTW, you mention Greenland, which is a very cold country and mostly covered with ice in our recent history.  Well, it's called Greenland because hundreds of years ago it was a warmer and green country supporting much vegetation.  So, can you see how things change?

Al Gore , and his false diatribe concerning his global warming theory is but one more way for him to manipulate the population for his own gain.  He has become a multi-millionaire with fund raisers and speeches.  He has found a cause to lead him to untold wealth and power  with the help of the "Greenies" who will follow him anywhere with undying and unquestioning devotion.  

Just ask him to give up his private jet as he jet sets across the nation spreading his lies.  Also ask him to give up his energy-consuming 10,000 square foot mansion.

He demands we cut back and sacrifice while he goes on in total disregard.   Something is wrong with this picture.
