What is global-warming?

Question

what is an easy way to explain to a kid.

what is a children's definition

Answer 1

Global warming AND cooling are both determined by the activities of the Sun. The Sun puts out more heat sometimes and less heat other times.

Man has nothing to do with the Earth's temperatures..... even scientists and Al Gore (who studied religion in college) are not able to prove that man affects the temperature.

Don't worry about the global warming stories or movies that you see.  They are all made up by people who want to take money from you and your parents and put it in their own pockets.

Answer 2

When you are walking down the street, do you ever see smoke from cars exhaust pipes or chimneys or cigarettes or other things burning?

Well, some of the smoke that comes from burning things floats up into the sky and acts like a blanket around the Earth keeping the heat in just like a blanket on you at night keeps your heat in.

The more things we burn, the more blankets we add.

If we burn too many things then the blankets get too hot.

Answer 3

Simply put: Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earth, due to green house gasses (exhaust/smoke) trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Answer 4

Global warming is the biggest scam ever to be perpetrated on mankind dwarfing even the dangerous illusions of communism and fascism because this pseudo science has deranged proponents globally.  This pseudo science has already had deadly consequences on humanity with the potential to inflict even more harm on humanity and the environment.  

The perpetrators of this fraud have enriched themselves in the process.  Al Gore is now a billionaire thanks to this great lie, yet he himself hypocritically does not subscribe to the global warming craze.  His home uses more energy in one month than 40 houses use in a year; he uses a private jet to travel around espousing this bs; and his fleet of limos idle with the air conditioner on while waiting hours for him while he gives speeches.  The American people need to wake up and see global warming for the fraud it really is before it totally destroys us as a nation and a people.  And now congress wants to reintroduce the ‘Climate Security Act. Anyone who votes for Demoncrats deserve what they get because the Demons are pushing this gobal warming insanity.   In case you haven’t heard about the 'Climate Security Act' the Demons want to enact here is Walter Williams on the subject:

“If you’re bothered by skyrocketing food and energy prices, wait until Congress re-introduces its environmentalist-inspired Climate Security Act, so-called ‘Cap and Trade.’ Cap and Trade is deceptively peddled as a free-market solution to the yet-to-be-settled issue of manmade climate change. Under its provisions, companies would be able to emit greenhouse gases only if they had a government allowance. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that a 15 percent cut in emissions would raise the annual average household’s energy costs by $1,300. Since energy is an input to everything we use, we can expect everything to become more costly, resulting in a reduction in economic growth. There’s a hateful side to Cap and Trade that’s revealed by asking the question: How will it be decided who received how much allowance to emit greenhouse gases? Congress could sell the allowances and/or give them away to favorite constituents. You can bet the rent money that a new army of lobbyists, with special pleadings, will descend on Washington to lobby Congress. And you can be sure that campaign contributions and favoritism will play an important role in the decision of who received what amount of allowances. Much worse than that is the massive control government would have over our economy and our lives... The thirst to wield massive control over our economy helps explain the near religious belief in manmade global warming and the attacks on scientists and others who offer contradictory evidence.” —Walter Williams

Answer 5

Global warming is like that monster under your bed. You know it isn't real, but it sure would be scary if it were.

Answer 6

Well kids, see it is a little fairy tale that the television people made up that tells us we are meant to change everything we do because of the world warming up. But kids see, what the television people didn't tell us is that it happens naturally, and we can't stop it. TV people made up this evil monster called CO2, that apparently is killing the earth because there is too much of it. But you see kids, carbon dioxide comes from the water in the ocean as earth naturally heats up.
