Answer 2

the name is self-explanatory!!

it will only take effect in a long long time if it exists, the supposed charts to prove the rising temperatures show that it's only risen a TINY bit.

the earth goes through different heat waves.. for instance in the 70s they were saying the ice age was coming.. that didn't happen now did it?

This is another interesting fact the biggest greenhouse gas cause is ROTTING TREES!

Interesting fact number 2: the temperature is rising on mars, humans aren't causing anything on mars!!

Al Gore just wanted to be famous and win awards.

This is just a funny quote by a careless person, "so, who cares if my kids never see a polar bear. I never saw a dinosaur, you don't see me crying about it"

(some people say the arctics will melt and all the polar bears are dying)

Answer 3

Global warming is Al Gores 100 Million dollar profit myth

Answer 4

global warming is when the earth becomes warmer. there is a barier around earth that lets out heat rays. but car exaust  makes the barier thicker not letting out the uv rays causeing the earth to slowly get hotter

Answer 5

a fraud.

Answer 6

Some gases ("greenhouse gases") let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving. That's the "greenhouse effect", and it's a natural thing, mostly caused by water vapor.  It's like putting a blanket on the Earth.

Man is making excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That causes the delicate natural balance to go out of whack and the Earth warms. That's global warming.

It won't be a Hollywood movie style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. But it will be very bad. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.

Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.

Really good website for more information here:

Lots of numerical scientific data proving it real here:

Proof that most scientists think it's real and mostly caused by us here:

Answer 7

Bob has a good answer, backed up with sources. Do research on (credible) websites, geared toward science and education, not politics, etc. Look at the science before you decide whether its really some big hoax.

There is a long list of interesting articles here: http://www.livescience.com/globalwarming...

Here is an article on the scientific opinion, with links to skeptics also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_... (Wikipedia, I know, but this one was well referenced, and a good list)

Some think it's a "liberal" scam by Al Gore and others. And while its true that you may not feel any warming (you shouldn't really be, actually), it's happening over time. And although warming and cooling cycles are natural, this increase shouldn't be happening at all as fast. So, likely, man is to blame, due to his output of carbon dioxide. However, no matter how much of it is true, it's a whole lot better to take a precautionary approach than ignore it. The possible effects could be devastating to both humans and the environment.

Answer 8

It is Emission of Poisnous gas into the Earths Atmosphere

Answer 9

well as you can see global warming is caused when pla bears take nice HOT stinky s***s on the polar ice caps. that is what is melting them. You can do an expirement at your house just take an ice cube and p**s all over it

Answer 10

An excuse for good old Ally boy to get lots of money and a peace prize.

It's never even been tested outside of Gore's research lab, so technically, it's still just a theory.

But, Al likes to contradict the theory by riding in hummers all over and riding in jets, then using up all our fossil fuels in his campains INSIDE BUILDINGS by wasting electricity. OH! And, he wastes land with his five homes. ^_^ He's a great man, though. -sarcasm-

Answer 11

It is a liberal scam.

Answer 12

Taking a scientific approach, I researched several scientific databases. After reading the NASA data where they talk about how the surface temperature of all nine planets in the solar system is rising in direct relationship to their distance from the sun (except Jupiter which is also warming from it's own internal heat), and how they measured that - I don't worry about global warming anymore.

I can't change the heat output of the sun nor the solar cycles, nor can I change the surface temperatures of the other planets. These things are simply beyond my power to even influence.

Answer 13

Well, some pplz say its a lie, to get scientistz to invertigate for money, but i thib global warming is real!!! Its the result of when polluting our planet occurz...Anywayzz why do think its warmer thiz year, than other years, global warming, obvisoly, thats lol my theory at least...
