i think global warming is real because one people be cleaning up the earth in which people should already do.I really do think global warming is real because the earth is showing many signs of warming.In 2009`s summer the climate never showed any sign of cooling down.

It's causing plenty of damage to EVERYTHING that's alive. Ocean acidification destroys coral reefs, in turn destroying the habitats of millions of species of fish. Deforestation, while also increasing CO2, also destroys tons of wildlife habitats. Desertification increases, and eventually Africa becomes a dust bowl. Islands are swallowed up. If plants are killed in some places by global warming, then there is no way to guarantee that life will exist after humans have died through global warming. After all, plants use the CO2, but after their gone or they have reached a point where they can no longer stem the increase in CO2, then life will either have to adapt and be based off of CO2 instead of oxygen, or we become like Mars or Venus.

Yes, I think it is true. But, the truth about the Earth warming up is that it's bloated. It'll fart in the near future; watch out!

Yes global warming is real, but I don't think it is caused by humans - it is just the natural cycle of the Earth.

You have only to look at the devastation all around us to realize that the earth is undergoing major climate change. It's a common misconception that global warming refers only to hotter temperatures. Some of the signs of global warming are increased storms, including tornadoes and hurricanes, more severe winters, and melting of polar ice caps. In the last few months, we have experienced all of these and more. The only question is how we're going to stop global warming, not whether or not it exists.

Global warming and cooling has been going on ever since the Earth was created. And both warming and cooling have advantages to certain lifeforms, and also disadvantages.Even if global warming is (or was) happening, and even if it continues (or resumes), it is not caused by humans. It could not have been human emissions of carbon dioxide, because we were not burning fossil fuels at any of those times.

Most climatologists agree that global warming is real and dangerous. They also agree that it is caused by greenhouse gasses from factories. Global warming in the past was caused naturally, but this time is is mostly because of greenhouse gasses. Global Warming could see the increasing in the tropical rainforests

The most commonly discussed measure of global warming is the trend in globally averaged temperature near the Earth's surface.Global mean surface temperature difference relative to the 1961–1990 average.Measure of global warming is the trend in globally averaged temperature near the Earth's surface. Global warming is a non-renewable source because it burn fossil fuels. And it pollutes sources like palnts ,animals,and the weather.

Global warming is happening. According to the United States Environmental Protection agency brochure entitled, Frequently Asked Questions About Global Warming and Climate Change: Back to Basics, "Scientists have observed a warming trend beginning around the late 1800s. The most rapid warming has occurred in recent decades. Most of this recent warming is very likely the result of human activities." Also according to the US EPA, "Many human activities release “greenhouse gases” into the atmosphere. The levels of these gases are increasing at a faster rate than at any time in hundreds of thousands of years." The earth really is getting hotter. Stated by the Natural Resources Defense Council's website, "Although local temperatures fluctuate naturally, over the past 50 years the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history

I think Global Warming is fake because some people say's thats carbon dioxide causes global warming.Global warming has a average temperature which can effect the climate. Global Warming can rise to a sea level depending on how hot is. Its being trying to mess the world for a long time.Global Warming is a Hoax.People says that Humans cause global warming because by polluting the earth.They thinks this because of the animals and the temperature.

Some people think that the current warnings our caused by greenhouse gases from human actives has caused global warming. Global warming could cause weather patterns and conditions to change, creating storms in new places and allowing super storms and hurricanes to appear.

Global warming could cause sea levels to rise if the polar ice caps melt. This may also lead to a temperature increase in the oceans and seas. This would have a massive effect on marine life and in turn the land animals that depend on it to survive. Many fish species may migrate or even die off because warmer water temperatures.

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that trap radiation from the sun and keep it from being released back into space. This is causing the temperatures in many places on Earth to rise by a few degrees. This may not seem like much, but in colder regions like Alaska, Canada, the North Pole, Nova Scotia, and others, this temperature difference has a big effect

global warming cant be real because if global warming was real we would not have snow in Detroit or Antarctica and in Antarctica has alto of ice glatures......

Global warming due to humans is fake. Global temperatures have been rising since the last ice age, but within range. The fundamental claim of MMGB (man-made global warming) comes down to claim that carbon dioxide released by humans into the atmosphere is causing the temperature to rise drastically. Although carbon dioxide levels have been increasing, is humans the ones to blame for this? Carbon dioxide makes up about half of a percent of the atmosphere and only 3 percent of greenhouse gases. Most of the rest (95%) is water vapor. Activity due to humans only produce 8 gigatons of carbon dioxide a year out of the 180 gigatons produced. The more likely explanation for the increase in co2 is the oceans. Oceans emit about 80 gigatons of co2 a year. Warmer water can't hold as much co2 as colder water. Therefore when the temperature of the ocean increases, the global co2 in the atmosphere increases as well. Temperatures have steadily been increasing since the last ice age. Ocean temperatures are well within normal range, so there is nothing to worry about. Furthermore, carbon dioxide levels in the past have been much higher, as much as 15x higher then today. If carbon dioxide was controlling the climate, you would expect to see temperatures during those periods very high. Temperatures during those periods have been about the same (if not colder) then today. In conclusion, humans are not the main producer of carbon dioxide, the oceans are. Warmer climates can cause higher concentrations of co2 in the atmosphere, not vice-versa. And co2 levels in the past have been much higher than today. Global warming due to humans is fake. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

People claim global warming is happening because we're having the worst drought in years, the largest forest fires, the hottest temperature and the most the destructive storms. Lies lies and that right more lies. First off a good quantiy of the western part of america is a desert and they're pumping water into it to grow food. What do expect to happen when you try to grow food where you can't and beside this whole drought is just probably a cycle of the event the Dust Bowl. Secondly these huge forest fire are suppose to happen i took a class in Environmental Science and the book clearly said the when such an environment reaches its climax a forest fire will eventually occur to recycle nutrients. So global warming has nothing to do with forest fires they'd been happening and will continue to. Finally the heat and storms it should be know by now the earth goes through several weather and temperature patterns such as El Nino(or whatever they call it). Interestly enough most people seem to forget that the earth's orbit is not round. It's elliptical so there will be times where the earth will be much closer to sun and alot farther especially during the Equinox. Beside if global warming was caused by burning fossil fuels wouldn't all the plankton and other micro-organism suck up all that co2 and deposit it at the bottom of the ocean. Honestly i don't think that fossil fuels even come from ancient organisms because if so why does coal the oldest form of all fossil fuels contain traces of carbon 14? That would only mean that coal is only about 50,000 years old. Also fossil fuels have been found to contain large amounts of trace elements such as germanuim and mercury. What plant or animal you know that has every existed to intake germanuim or mercury? In addition volcanoes are known to have large reservoirs of petro-fuels. It is fact that 86% the emmisions released from mud volcanoes is methane. I think someone is pulling a curtain in front our face with this global warming nonsense.

Dispute me if you can.
