Is Global Warming Real? In my class we had a discussion the other day, on whether or not Global Warming is real. Now I%26#039;m not sure what to believe. So is it real, or not?

For those that say it is real, do you have proof of it being real?.?

ScienceDaily (Dec. 13, 2007) — The decade of 1998-2007 is the warmest on record, according to data sources obtained by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The global mean surface temperature for 2007 is currently estimated at 0.41°C/0.74°F above the 1961-1990 annual average of 14.00°C/57.20°F...


...Since the start of the 20th century, the global average surface temperature has risen by 0.74°C. But this rise has not been continuous. The linear warming trend over the last 50 years (0.13°C per decade) is nearly twice that for the last 100 years...

...2007 global temperatures have been averaged separately for both hemispheres. Surface temperatures for the northern hemisphere are likely to be the second warmest on record, at 0.63°C above the 30-year mean (1961-90) of 14.6°C/58.3°F. The southern hemisphere temperature is 0.20°C higher than the 30-year average of 13.4°C/56.1°F, making it the ninth warmest in the instrumental record since 1850.

January 2007 was the warmest January in the global average temperature record at 12.7°C/54.9°F, compared to the 1961-1990 January long-term average of 12.1°C/53.8°F...

This is a peer reviewed research project that is supported by over 19,000 scientists (willing to wager a far greater number than those supporting Gore and his twisted and altered research).

Next try reading an article from Gore%26#039;s %26quot;co-winner%26quot; of the Nobel and his thoughts regarding Gore%26#039;s faulty and corrupted info.

The earth is warming and has been for more than 10,000 yrs. That is why we are no longer in an ice age. What causes it is the question to answer. Are humans so powerful that they can change warming patterns over the entire world or are they simply egotistical fools trying to believe they are God? 0% 0 Votes

hell ya!!! an international board of scientists have confirmed it... what is being debated is whether it is a natural occurance of if it is caused by human impact.... personally i believe it is humans... CO2 emmissions maybe? but maybe its a combination of the too... but as for it being real? its proven 0% 0 Votes

its absolutely real, and if you don%26#039;t take action now,
our generation will not see beautiful cities like Venice, New York City, Los Angeles, and other cities off of shores ever again
and besides that, beautiful animals will die and the world will pretty much go hay wire 0% 0 Votes

Uh it%26#039;s real... MY proof(there also are scientific websites.. documentaries.. look for Al
Gore%26#039;s.. it%26#039;s really good.) would be the fact the my cousin had to leave the entire island he was living on because it was literally being evacuated..(I don%26#039;t know the exact name.. I%26#039;ll have to ask him tomorrow.)

So anyways.. the reason it%26#039;s being evacuated is because so many ICEBERGS are melting and it%26#039;s rising the ocean waters to the point where the island is really starting to flood.. do you know how bad that is?

Icebergs everywhere are melting because of the big UNDENIABLE scientifically proven hole in the ozone layer..(the thing the protects us from the heat of the sun and it%26#039;s dangerous UVR.) and the sun has more access to icebergs and the heat is starting to melt the icebergs pretty fast.

It really pisses me off to see that people don%26#039;t beleive this is happening... and that it%26#039;s real.. that attitude is exactly what is going to destroy this planet. You people seem to not pay much attention to the news etc..

As for the we don%26#039;t know our own climate and why it%26#039;s doing this etc. or whatever.. scientists know very well why this is happening. Years ago there was NOT EVEN CLOSE to the amount of extreme weather cases as thier are these days.

It will only get worse.. the longer people are ignorant to the fact that it%26#039;s as real as you are.. the more chance this can never be reversed.. and what will happen.. is your HOMES will be underwater because of all the icebergs melting.

Do any of you know exactly how much of the earth%26#039;s surface is covered by frozen water? a lot.. so what will happen when all that melts? Which WILL happen eventually one day. IN MY LIFETIME(I%26#039;m 17) possibly, but definately in my childs lifetime. There will be tons of land covered by water..

Edited to add: Oh lovely:) thumbs down for scientific research. I notice all the peole pulling up SCIENTIFIC information are getting thumbs down lol. What is this world comming too:\ I%26#039;d like you to find one LEGITIMATE source that is saying GW is bullshit. Since you seem to know it all, right? 0% 0 Votes

Al Gore is the one who drumed this one up. If you believe in Mr Gore its real, but if you know hes a fraud (like most of us) then you know its not.
