%26quot;sudden or gradual?%26quot; is %26quot;relative%26quot;.in the life time of a tadpole, it%26#039;s very gradual.
in the length of time that the earth has existed, it%26#039;s almost instantaneous.
the problem in Darfur is thought to be caused by global warming induced drought, causing people to move to where there was some food. For them, it was pretty sudden -- sudden being a few years of little rain, and insufficient crops.
all of the species alive today have evolved to live in the location and climate where they%26#039;re found. as temperatures increase, and rainfall changes, many of them will need to move.
where there are small localized populations, which frequently happens with insects and the like, there already have been many extinctions, and there will be more, because the change has been too rapid for them to find suitable new habitats.
if we compare what%26#039;s currently happening to the more typical 100,000 year ice age cycle, it%26#039;s very rapid. 60% 3 Votes

* There is no %26quot;scientific consensus%26quot; on global warming
* Climate is always changing – with or without man
* The Medieval Warm Period was significantly warmer than temperatures today – and was a golden age for agriculture, innovation, and lifespan
* Most of Antarctica is actually getting colder
* Hurricanes are not getting worse – our tendency to build houses in their path is getting greater
* Many big businesses lobby for global warming policies that will increase their profits – and our costs
* The media only recently abandoned the %26quot;global cooling%26quot; scare
* The real agenda behind the %26quot;global warming%26quot; scare? A massive expansion of government control over the economy and our lives 0% 0 Votes -

70 MILLION TONS!!! of CO2 is pumped into our appleskin thin atmosphere by MAN -EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE CAUSE!
NASA says GW is man-made. NASA sent us to the moon! But some dont even believe that. Some of these morons still believe the earth is flat in fact.
Go to school, get educated. The Trillion dollar Fossil fuel industry Sheisters are everywhere trying to confuse you with their %26quot;snake oil%26quot;. Get educated. GW is real.
Dont believe the crackpots. Most are over 60 and dont CARE if the earth boils because THEYLL BE DEAD ANYWAY in 20 years. If youre young, you should be very concerned about GWarming. 0% 0 Votes -
Global Warming gradually happen... as nature always do.
From factories that exhaust smokes which contains greenhouse gases... Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causes greenhouse effect... That causes climatic changes of today.
In short, it is a %26quot;domino effect%26quot;... 20% 1 Vote -

%26gt; By Walter E. Williams - Now that another Earth Day has come and gone,
%26gt; let%26#039;s look at some environmentalists%26#039; predictions they would prefer we

%26gt; At the first Earth Day celebration, in 1969, environmentalist Nigel
