  1. In some cases we can feel global warming.  In the past 30 years the global temp went up about 1.6 degrees.  It does not seem like a lot but it is enough to melt the ice caps, alter the chemical composition in our oceans and increased acid rain caused by carbonic and sulfuric acid.  http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-dMWGRys6a...  I put my research on my profile with links at the end of it I strongly suggest you to read the wesjones1 link written by Elizabeth Kolbert the artical is long but very informative.


  2. what do u mean ?

    fell 'globaj warming' ?

    can u please explain this phenomena ...................

  3. bcos its "globaj warming"

  4. We will feel it slowly, not in an instant.

    All the countries where the weather is different than 2 years back, are feeling it...

  5. i tell you now i'm feeling it i live kinda under the hole in the ozone ( tasmania) and here you can get sun burned on a cloudy day, because we have higher uv levels then what we used to.

  6. b'coz sun's heat itself is so hot that it becomes difficult to differentiate

    well, if you would have observed since your childhood summers are becoming more hotter.

    that's how global warming works . by slowly increasing its impact

  7. It depends where you are from. Firstly will be the average temparature on earth who is raising every year and which will cause the melting of the ice around the poles making the sea level grow...in time you will fell it.

    If you really want to know about it...an entertaining method would be to watch "An Inconvenient Truth"- it is a movie;)

  8. 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" 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.

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

    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. 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.

    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.
