God gave man free will– with the means to destroy OR create. Humans control their destiny.
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.

God is and illusion, don't play yourselves, and yes we shouldn't panic. panicing solves nothing.
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.
I love global warming, I live in Cleveland and hope to have lake front property in the next 5 to 10 years, although my winters are getting more brutal and summers shorter I dont know if I can stand it here that long. GW cant come fast enough for me keep up the roderic it keeps me all warn and fuzzy inside.

the earth was warmer the the artic was tropical, dont you think the earth is just continuing in its cycle and getting warm againa/
have some faith, God didn't put us on this earth to either freeze or burn over, he has a plan. all this stuff happening is just a sign that he is coming soon, the Bible says that there will be earth quakes and other things in various places so dont be scared, it's all in God's plan! im a christian just to let you know! he he…
God controls our destiny.
NO he is not he is real how can people write a Enormous book ( the bible if you even know what that is) on someone that is just an allusion?!?!?!?!?! if you dont believe in him……well we all know were your going to spend internal life……
how do you know this for sure just becasue you read a bible thats man made and could put his own thought in?

golble warming is real yo, this stuff has to stop, i'm sick of polar bears dieing because of use.
I believe in global warming of not being a hoax, but I also believe strongly in the fact that the global warming crisis has been severly over exaggerated. Is the following facts above the absolute truth that global warming is real, or is it just a possible theory that needs further information?
WHo cares about global warming?
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.
I dont care it is just a buch of *****
Wonderful article, just added the site to my favorites. Thanks so much.
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?
“like go watch an inconvenient truth lol…”
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”.
not quite. if a man decides to go and kill another man just for fun, is that what god had planed for that mans destiny??i think god has a pathway set for us, but we can either choose to go on that path or steer away from it.
I think your taking isolated events that have been happening for hundreds of years and bringing them forward as Doomy gloom talk to scare people into voting democrat. Floods, fires and hot summers have been happening FOREVER! People are just now taking them and using them as examples to support global warming.
fuck global warmiing whow fucking cares i care about fucking men
yeah I kinda belive in Global Warming,but for christ sakes the Earth is 30,000,000 yrs. old I think sooner or later the Earth is gonna give out,and die just like a human would,and besides I want to recycle,but my city doesn't have a recycle program
ok 1 you cant just judge someone because of thier vocab.,and 2 you need to stop acting like something your not if you got a problem with what I am saying to you NOT MY PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your totally wrong wembly what kind of name is that wembly is wimpy your a momma's baby
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.
I second that
what does that mean.Big head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
get your facts straight big head the earth is 4.5 trillion to 4.6 trillion years old so I BET YOUR FEELIN PLAYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry about that last comment my sister did that oh and thx 4 agreeing with me YOU ROCK OUT LOUD you were agreeing with me right
Yes yes the world whahaha is ending just as I planned you stupid humans dont know what us aliens are fixin to do to you well the swine flu (hint) might kill whoever read this so die you evil humans die I say Die whahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! zzap FIRE I JUST KILLED A DAY WALKER MY CUZIN IS A VAMPIRE SHE'S gonna suck all the humans blood so aliens and vampires can take OVER THE WORLD WHAHAHA
baylea. seriously.
1. WHAT DOES GOD HAVE TO DO WITH THIS, REALLY? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT IF HE EXISTS OR NOT; thats not what this article is about… i am a strong christian, but that doesnt affect my views on global warming…
2. you cant tell someone they cant judge someone based on their vocabulary and then go and criticize their name…
honestly, im starting to get mad at your comments.
you mess something up yourself, and then you change your argument to make yourself sound superior.
good job. seriously. first intelligent comment ive seen on this post that isnt biased. you took the facts, and you are easily the smartest on these posts
either everyone is saying it exists and we are all going to melt, or people are saying the world is cooling and we are going to freeze.
why cant it just stay normal?
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.
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.
yeah I can its a free country I could make fun of your name but im not because your nice
I starting to get mad at you 1 because that person smiling jack is my bff and i was picking with him neel you retard god get your facts straight before you go of telling me what to do FAT HEAD
