  This is just not correct. Global temperature has increased 0.7 degC in the past 160 years, and dropped over the past 10 years. Checking over the past 2,000 years, this is normal. Drought in Australia - I checked rainfall patterns for the past 100 years, and long term, a slight increase in rainfall. Droughts hit about every 20 years - nothing unusual there. The IPCC summary is written by politicains - they don't carry out research (see their website). They claim this is reviewed bt 2,000 scientists - perhaps, but what they don't tell us is that they don't agree with it. Sorry, no matter how har I look, I just can't find any substantiated change in long term weather patterns.

  Wow, everyone wants a simple answer to a complex question. Ok, here it is ...yes, and no. Yes, global warming is real. It is documented that the temps have risen one degree in 150 years. That comes out to .007 degrees per year. The real questions are, is this increase natural or man-made? Can we actually change this trend, or is this just like us trying to change the path of a hurricane? We know there have been fluctuations in average temperatures as long as the Earth has existed. At the same time, we owe it to future generations to care for our planet. I believe we need to explore new energy sources, reduce consumption of resources, and, most importantly, DON'T PANIC! This planet is bigger than all of us, and will be here long after we are gone.

  Here the simplest answer you can get.Only god can controll when the earth is gonna end.
  the Earth has been here forever when it ends it ends,but we can start helping by recycling and saving natural resources.that was 4 every one.I'm not saying that us helping the Earth is gonna be trash free like in a day it takes time,but we can still do if we work together,and try to save the Earth. If you agree plaese type me a nice message.If not type me saying why you dont like it.

  Ashlee, I am a Christian, but your comment is just embarrassing. First work on your vocabulary, then we'll discuss your theological arguments. I admire your faith, but there are ways to argue properly. Stay away from the Bible argument you made. Ever hear of Harry Potter? Star Wars? The Lord of the Rings? They come from a genre of fiction. That's when people write stuff that isn't real, and make it into a book. People are going to take what you said and laugh at it and say "Yeah, it's a book... of fiction." You need to stop threatening people with Hell (very unlike Jesus) and you need to not sound so condescending (very unlike Jesus). And you might want to think about your "internal" life.

  Most of the bible wasn't written by Christians, period. The Old Testament is taken from the Jewish scripture the Torah .. are you aware of this? I guess it wouldn't be correct for a Christian to initially comment on such a matter in the way he/she did. Approach this topic logically. Your out-dated way of close minded thinking, by following word for word one written book in a literal manner is obscene. The church over time has acknowledged errors in its beliefs which have been scientifically proven. For one it was accepted by the church that the earth is the center of the universe and that all things revolve around it in perfect circle. This was discredited by science and the church's opinion was reversed on the matter. They conceded that in fact, the earth is not the center of the universe or our solar system. I guess everything written (thousands of years ago I mind you) hasn't turned out to be true. Here's another blow to such faith: There are two types of water on earth, H20 and HDO. aka Regular water and Heavy Water. Heavy water, or HDO contains a hydrogen atom that has an extra neutron. This type of hydrogen is called deuterium. Scientists were able to send a space probe to tail Halley's comet, and a few other comets whose names slip me. They collected water vapor from the comet's trail and found that the HDO levels were 10 times greater than the concentration of HDO on earth. It couldn't have only come from comets... blah blah blah long story short they were able to analyze debris in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and found higher concentrations of H20... Every time you take a sip of water, you're drinking liquid that's 14 billion years old. Wow, science can be interesting huh?

  nice science lesson, you can't say the "the Church" as part of your argument because it does not pertain to all Christians, it was the catholic church that said the sun revolved around the earth, which, coincidently is not mentioned in the bible and has nothing do do with the Christan faith (much like the forum :p) the bible does, however, mention that the earth is spherical. ooo creepy.

  I was hoping to actually learn something other than the standard generic statements. What are the real facts? The article states "Scientists have also discovered a correlation between these temperatures and the level of carbon dioxide (and more recently methane gas) in the atmosphere." but it doesn't say what the statistical correlation was (.37 or .87 or -.5), nor does it mention what was actually correlated.

  I agree with rayne. we are in big trouble with global warming. once the average temp rises above 2 degrees celcius, around 12 degrees F, it is almost if not impossible to reverse the effects of global warming. Storms are getting stronger, sea levels are rising. there is so much proof that global warming is in effect. i will garauntee that the president will make a national address on the topic. take my word. remember this.

  Global warming is real even if it is a little over exaggerated. its still somthing we need to take seriously.. but maybe its just all part of the cycle of like dinosaurs.. although that sucks cuz that means we are dead. There is actual evidence that says the eath is warming up extremely. like go watch an inconvenient truth lol..
  
  And if you are over fifteen years old, i am 17, then you have actually seen the effects of GW in your life time because summers used to be at most 30 degrees (i live in canada by the way) and now they are reaching scorching tempuratures of 45! thats outrageous! if there is somthing we can do to save our race, why not try it?

  Wasn't that movie sued because of false "facts" about global warming? Research the case on that issue.
  
  I don't believe global warming is as big of an issue as people are trying to make it out to be. Can we affect our earth's atmosphere? I think so, yes. Is there enough evidence to prove the large claims of global warming true? I'd say no. The affects we have aren't large enough to cause the damage it seems like so many want to believe.
  
  The earth has had MUCH hotter times than what we're going through. And aren't we actually overdue for an ice age, I don't know the details but I remember hearing claims of that too? It is natural for the earth's climate to go through cyclical changes. Just like the inconvenient truth was doing, I think there is a lot of contorted "truth".

  Try 4,500,000,000 years old, or 4.5 billion years old.
  On a separate note though, I must say I do believe in climate change, people simply cannot: 1) Drive millions and millions of cars, planes, etc. around. And 2) Cut down trees which absord alot of the CO2 and expect it will not have any effect (even tiny) on anything. One would think talking on the scale of the earth, even a tiny amount of change would have extreme effects.
  Also, didn't we see problems over the '08 Olympic Games where Beijing (I think) had problems with the blanket of smog hanging around?
  None of this was based on evidence like most people's opinions but it was just a sensible thought.

  Though your observations might look reasonable at face-value, the problem with them is that they are not based on evidence, as you pointed out (which was good of you) in your last sentence.
  
  Your first statement about cars polluting the Earth is correct, but the amount of carbon emissions resulting from them is not nearly enough to cause any change in the climate, at least not on the level of 'Global Warming'. Cities, such as Beijing, are obviously going to be quite a bit polluted due to the amount of emissions there, but if you put in perspective with the rest of the mass of the Earth, it becomes a lot smaller.
  
  Your second claim, however, is redundant. Though I certainly don't support the mass deforesting that occurs, though much of it is for economical reasons, their loss will not majorly affect the Earth. Photoplankton on the surfaces of water bodies like lakes and oceans are responsible for 99% of the CO2 production that occurs on the Earth. Trees are responsible for less than 1% of it.

  Yes, the Earth is warming, but it is part of a natural warming pattern that is temporary (as in a few centuries or less) and it is certainly not due to man-made emissions. The actual statistics, if anyone had cared to look at them, prove this fact.
  
  In addition, the Earth is not warming as fast as this article might suggest. These incidents of high temperatures, long summers, and melting ice caps are clearly only showing one side of the story. For a local example, here in Chicago for nearly a month and a half straight the temperature was less than 20 degrees in the winter, and it was in the negatives for a few weeks straight.
  
  In summary, people should do more research before they write or read articles like these.

  Let's start all over again. Okay?
  For those of you that believe in God, he is real.
  For those of you that don't, God still may be real but it doesn't matter to you.
  For those of you that haven't decided yet, it doesn't matter to you yet.
  So what was the original question? Oh yeah,,,
  Is Global Warming Real?
  Personally, and regardless, it doesn't hurt anyone or anything to keep your carbon footprint to a minimum. Waist has never been a good idea. Weather or not we are damaging our planet. And weather or not it’s reversible if we are. It’s still and always is going to be up to every individual to have a mindset to make things better for the next generation.
  The real question is, are we capable?
  The real answer is, in this world everything comes to an end eventually.
  If someone wants to quote the Bible, “Futile, all is futile.”
  I am here to enjoy the ride and to help keep others as safe as possible in the process.
  This works and could be pleasing to everyone no matter what.
  It’s also referred to as, “Wishful Thinking.”…
  So good luck and or God bless……….

  Global Warming is real, sure but it is not caused by HUMANS its caused by the GLOBE we all live on. It will destroy and rebuild itself millions of times after we are gone, just as it has done millions of times before we came here.

  #1 As a Christian, I am amazed at some of the Christians who have commented on this post. I apologize to those who are offended by such people. This is not the kind of offense Jesus had in mind.
  
  #2 With regards to global warming, I don't think it's really happening. I'm skeptical. There are many reasons. First, I've heard that many who are pushing this "cap and trade" bill stand to profit if it is put into effect. Second, Al Gore is one of those. Third, we've had a rather cool Spring and early Summer here in Nebraska. It's also been wet. It seems like we go through cycles. Fourth, I've heard many in the Northeast complain about the lack of a Spring. This is curious as well. Fifth, there are some that have acutally come out and said what the real agenda is here: redistribution of wealth. Now, you can make the argument that this is a good thing. Still, I believe in private property, and I think that the Bible backs me up on this, as well as the US Constitution.
  
  Whether Global Warming is true or not is not a religious issue. I do happen to believe, however, that God made this world, and that it will remain until Jesus returns, just as He promised. He died for my sins, and yours, and grants eternal salvation to all who believe His Word. He says, "A time is coming and is now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Man and those that hear will live." John 5. It's about His Word and His Promises. That's what Christianity is about. One can believe Global Warming is true and Christianity is true at the same time. I, however, do not. Thanks for reading.

  if CO2 raises temperature then why isn't Mars burning up? it has an atmosphere of 95% CO2.
  we only have .3% CO2. global warming is a scam but legislation will be passed on it and not for any scientific reason, after the dems took office they bought stock in the companies that will make money off of things like cap and trade, its interesting to research that. as they say follow the money.
