Is global warming a hoax?

Is the world heating up by the release of all the greenhouse gases constantly polluting the atmosphere

Yes

The hoax is making you think you can stop the warming by paying more taxes and giving up more of your freedom. If it really is warming, nothing is going to stop it.

Side: Yes

In a way I would say yes. Though, the temperatures are rising, that doesn't necessarily mean global warming. It just means that the seasons are changing or that the weather is changing.

Side: Yes

interesting that in the winter time it's "climate change"and then in the summer time it's "global warming"

Climate change is the long-term alteration in climate as a result of global warming. Actually, it can involve parts of the planet becoming colder. For example, if the sea temperature rises enough for warm currents like the North Atlantic Drift to be diverted, the temperature in Britain would become lower.

Global warming is the process of greenhouse gases filling the atmosphere and trapping heat (an extreme example of global warming is Venus).

Your assertion that it's "climate change" in winter and "global warming" in summer is inaccurate.

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=global%20warming,climate%20change

Google Trends shows that people tended not to search much for either term in July last year. "Climate change" had a noticeable spike in Google searches at the end of May / beginning of June (around the time Trump announced he was pulling out of the Paris Agreement). "Global warming" did not.

There are no statistics available to decide what keywords are actually in the news at specific times of year, so there is no evidence to support a seasonal inclination towards one term over the other.

Side: No

The general term "global warming" is not a hoax. Neither is global cooling. The hoax is those telling us what exactly is causing it, telling us it isn't normal, and pretending like if they are right that we could stop it.

Side: Yes

Global warming is certainly not a hoax look at the records about temperature rise and sea level rising.It is an obvious fact that it exists and besides if it is genuinely a hoax schools wouldn't be teaching this to their students(elementary,middle school, and high school of course).

The public school systems in the West have taught everything from "Jesus is God", to Jews are inherently evil, to the Earth is flat. If you disagree with any of those 3, then your claim is nonsense. The school system, as of late, has become a political brainwashing tool for the left.

Well, over 190 countries say it is NOT a hoax, and are doing whatever they can to slow it. The U.S. (at least its "President", along with Syria and one insignificant African country are "smart enough"(?) to see it as the hoax THEY say it is! Funny how most of the worlds "brains" are in a devestated war zone, another insignificant country, .... and those who watch FAUX News in the U.S., and, of course, their "President" whose mentallity is being questioned by the rest of the world!

Now, What was the question??????

Just out of curiosity, how many of those 190 countries would have supported the Paris agreement if they had to send billions of dollars to other countries instead of inheriting billions.

If 189 countries told Uganda that they had to send billions of dollars to them I seriously doubt Uganda would have agreed to it. You can insert any country you please, but when you are bribed to agree with some thing it holds no value to me what they say. If the USA and China said we will cut our emissions to zero and save the planet, but every country on Earth has to send us as much money as possible, you will not find one country supporting global warming.

Put a million dollars in front of me to say I saw Bigfoot and produce phony evidence to back it up and I will. Money talks, and just about every country is going to benefit from this hoax financially.

Lol. Yes brother. Climate science is a hoax because scientists can't see into the future. Their lack of fortune-telling ability completely discredits their research. Ahahahaha!

You people are fucking insane. After the tobacco industry spent billions convincing people that tobacco research was a hoax, you are now going to fall for exactly the same shit from the fossil fuel industry are you? Jolly good.

It thought it was clear, wasn't it?

Our global temperature is going up faster than it ever has before and we, in part, are contributing to it. Just because it snows doesn't mean the Earth overall isn't hot.

Keep in mind that 97% of climate scientists (the guys that study this for a living) agree that "Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities." (1)

I don't know why some people feel the need to fight so aggressively against this. Even if global warming wasn't happening, what is wrong with taking care of the planet? What is wrong with recycling? What is wrong with using alternative energy?

None of this is harming anyone, and is actually helping a lot of people (animals and plants too.)

Sorry, but numerous scientists in that group of 97% have come out and said they do not belong on that list. There are so many flaws in that finding it is a joke.

The planet has been around for 4.5 billion years, I can assure you there is nothing wrong with it. It has been through much worse than humans and has always come out of every disaster without any problems. The planet is fine.

Wrong, but temperatures have risen MUCH faster many times in the past. Do your home work.

The planet has been through much worse, and come out fine on the other side, but the life has not. Just look at the Permian mass extinction, when 90% of life on earth died out. The Permian extinction is thought to have been mainly caused by volcanic eruptions, and their emission of CO2, which lead to global warming and ocean acidification, etc. Other similar events have happened. Yes, climate change has happened in the past, but the results were terrible for living things. In the words of George Carlin, the planet is fine, but the people are fucked.

Sorry, but you are making up a completely false version of reality again. The "list" was not built from speaking to scientists. It was built from reading their peer-reviewed studies of climate.

It has been through much worse than humans

No it hasn't. Not since it cooled, anyway.

Do your home work.

This pretty much tells me why you think it might be a hoax, greenhouse gasses are not necessarily pollutants, and these gasses trap heat, for all those who think It's a hoax, go to a nursery in a place where the temperature is low throughout the year, you might have even noticed, these houses made of glass, in which plants are kept.. these are called greenhouses and contain greenhouse gasses to trap heat and provide essential temperature for those plants to grow.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide has spiked since humans have been on this planet: https://climate.nasa.gov/system/contentpages/mainimages/203_co2-graph-021116.jpeg

Temperatures have warmed around 1.53 degrees Fahrenheit (0.85 degrees Celsius) since 1880: https://www2.ucar.edu/climate/faq/how-much-has-global-temperature-risen-last-100-years

Add to this the melting glaciers, the loss of Arctic sea ice and rising sea level (https://skepticalscience.com/evidence-for-global-warming.htm)

This is how we know global warming is happening.

Hello a:

Now, I'm not a scientist. I'm just a guy who looks around.. Given what I see, I don't think it is. Here's why..

Years ago, we used to throw our trash on the ground.. I guess we did that because we thought we had SOOOO much ground, that it couldn't hurt anything.. But, it does.. Then we started throwing our trash into the ocean, I guess because we thought it was SOOOO big, that it wouldn't hurt anything.. But it does. Now, we're throwing our trash into the atmosphere, I guess because we think it's SOOO big, that it couldn't hurt anything.. But, of course, it does.
