Well I%26#039;ll have to go thru your points 1 by 1.
%26quot;Global Warming is Not Real, what do you think?%26quot;
Of course it%26#039;s real.
%26quot;There are just as many Scientists who say it is not real, as those who say it is.%26quot;
False. Almost all climate scientists agree that humans are the primary cause of the current warming (and they certainly all agree the warming is real). Proof:
http://www.logicalscience.com/consensus/...
%26quot;There are Magazine Articles from the 70%26#039;s that say the Earth is getting colder.%26quot;
Right. The Earth was getting (very slightly) colder in 1970. This is because human and volcanic aerosol emissions at the time were blocking sunlight, causing global dimming and cooling. At that point many countries passed Clean Air Acts, stopped emitting so much sulfur, and so the cooling stopped.

%26quot;How come Al Gore wasn%26#039;t worried about Global Warming when he was Vice President?%26quot;
He was. However, over the past decade we%26#039;ve learned a ton more about global warming, and now are certain it%26#039;s a problem we%26#039;re causing which will have nasty consequences if we don%26#039;t do something about it. Clinton and Gore should have pushed Kyoto harder, but at the time they wussed out.

The wiki article is just easily checkable facts, not opinions.
%26quot;The fact that the community overwhelmingly supports the consensus is evidenced by picking up any copy of Journal of Climate or similar, any scientific program at the meetings, or simply going to talk to scientists. I challenge you, if you think there is some un-reported division, show me the hundreds of abstracts that support your view - you won%26#039;t be able to. You can argue whether the consensus is correct, or what it really implies, but you can%26#039;t credibly argue it doesn%26#039;t exist.%26quot;

Global cooling in the 70s was just a few guys with no data, who got more attention in the media than they deserved. Just like the %26quot;skeptics%26quot;. Proof.

We%26#039;re not just coming out of an Ice Age. Climate had been relatively stable for thousands of years, before we messed it up. Proof.
http://environment.newscientist.com/chan...
http://www.globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Ima...
%26quot;We humans have built a remarkable socioeconomic system during perhaps the only time when it could be built, when climate was sufficiently stable to allow us to develop the agricultural infrastructure required to maintain an advanced society.%26quot;

No, global warming is not real. It is a loose string of speculation and half truths. The latest scare tactic to extract money and control.

Global warming is real, but not in the sense that Al Gore wants everyone to believe. The planet is warming, that much is true, and it%26#039;s a measurable increase in temperature. There are few scientists who dispute that.
What many scientists do NOT believe is that the increase is cause by the activities of humans and that it is somehow damaging the planet. There are mountains of evidence that the global climate is cyclical. Warming trends have occured in the past and will continue to occur well after humans have died off.
What Al Gore convieniently ignores is that not all glaciers are melting. Some are actually growing. He also ignores the effects of deforestation on glaciers mountainous ice capse. Gore is full of it. -
You have posted no facts and only opinions and as such your statement is totally meaningless. You have asked for only opinions and by the same definition my answer would be meaningless.
I notice that this however has not stopped other people looking out of the kitchen window and saying confidently that the earth is going through a cycle. (LOL where did they get this information?) It is hilarious that they feel able to disscuss the cycles of a 6 BILLION year old planet as though they where here at the begining and have been keeping notes ever since. There are no links and the only people that have posted any information are who you would call the %26#039;warmers%26#039;.
What do I think? I dont think it is very important what I think. I am only one of 6.6 BILLION. However there is a large majority that disagree with you.Large majorities around the world believe that human activity causes global warming and that strong action must be taken, sooner rather than later, in developing as well as developed countries, according to a BBC World Service poll of 22,000 people in 21 countries.
An average of eight in ten (79%) say that “human activity, including industry and transportation, is a significant cause of climate change.”
Nine out of ten say that action is necessary to address global warming. A substantial majority (65%) choose the strongest position, saying that “it is necessary to take major steps starting very soon.” In no country does more than one in three disagree with the view that “human activity, including industry and transportation, is a significant cause of climate change.” In all except one country, two-thirds or more endorse this view. The one exception is India where 47 percent attribute climate change to human activity, 21 percent disagree and 33 percent do not answer.
In 13 of 21 countries, at least twice as many call for “major steps starting very soon” as think “modest steps over the coming years” will suffice. In no country does a majority say that no steps are necessary and on average less than one in ten say this.
A key growing economy with a large majority in favor of significant action is China. Seventy percent of urban Chinese respondents believe major steps are needed quickly to address climate change.
I think they last paragraph is very hopefull. There are over a billion Chinese and it seems as though they feel that things need to be improved.
I have not posted any links as I feel that you would neither read nor understand them. You seem to already have made your mind up so I am not going to try to change it for you.
