Well, is it or is not Global Warming?
Answer:
You cant be taht black and white. Certainly the world is being adversely affected by the mounting affects of globabl warming but it isn't so black and white you can blame hot weather or a tornado for "global warming"
Is what global warming?
The vast majority of scientists agree that the planet is, on average, getting warmer.
There is less agreement (though still the majority) if humanity is the cause.
For any particular event (such as, say, a hurricane), its hard to say if Global Warming increased or decreased its probability - but on average, it certainly has increased the number of catastrophic events.
It's Global Warming! The whole earth is changing, due to both human and natural ceases...
Global temperatures are getting warmer, you cannot deny that. The question is whether man made greenhouse gasses are responsible.
Get prepared to move to high ground.
Definitely yes. On PBS last night was a program about the penguins in Antarctica. A lot of the ice cap is melted and the sea water is warmer than ever. This global warming could be a prelude to another ice age. From what I learned the Earth experienced global warming for many decades and later an ice age took over. Many generations will have come to pass before this happens again. There is nothing to worry about now. Is man contributing to global warming? Of course.
It is.
there certainly is global warming, its happened many times through earth history
the real questions are how much human activity contributes to the current global warming, if it is dangerous to us and the rest of life, and if there is anything we can do about it
Definately. If you have the time, and you don't like boring movies, rent An Inconvenient Truth. It explains everything.
That would depend very much on what you're referring to.
Is the climate changing because of global warming - yes it almost certainly is.
Is any one weather event caused by global warming - maybe, maybe not, although GW will likely be a contributory factor to many weather events.
Global warming and climate change are complex issues, maybe if you added some further info it would help people answer your specific question(s).
