Describe Global Warming?

ok i just dont get it! and it isnt getting warmer it is getting colder!

Answer:
Raising my taxes just for an lie.

I do not believe in Global Warming.
There are many signs of global warming such as icebergs shrinking and maybe even my extra hemorrhoids
First of all, it is getting warmer. Global warming is happening because our ozone layer has a massive hole in it over the the Antarctic. The ozone layer's purpose is to protect the Earth from dangerous sun rays which would be devastating to us but are perfect for developing life the way they work now. Anyway, carbon dioxide is exuded by cars and people. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are what are destroying the ozone layer. For billions of years, trees and plants have absorbed carbon dioxide and used it to produce oxygen. This cycle has worked for this long, but due to things like overconsumption, we have less trees and plants to absorb the carbon dioxide. Entire forests are being destroyed and replaced with urban developments and farmland. Anyway, the with the hole in the ozone layer, it's causing the sun rays to come to Earth and build up, making the Earth hotter and hotter. The most extreme problem with this is that as the hole is over the Antarctic, the sun rays hit it and melt the polar ice caps. All this melting means the global water level is going to rise. In time, many populated areas will be flooded.
When you say it is getting colder, you are only partially correct - at some point, our planet is going to revert to a cold state known as an ice age. This has happened before, but it shouldn't be for a long time. Our constant exuding of carbon dioxide is leading to a quicker ice age.

In closing, we are all doomed. Go watch An Inconvenient Truth.
Not sure what you're talking about, but the planet is warming a lot:

And humans are causing most of the current warming.

We know from ice core samples that historically when global warming occurred, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations also increased, but not until about 800 years later.

Many global warming deniers think this is evidence that CO2 can’t cause global warming. In fact, that’s the very first argument in the terrible Great Global Warming Swindle. On the contrary, this is actually evidence that human greenhouse gas emissions are currently causing global warming. Compare the following global temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration plots from 1960-Present:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/image:mauna...

As you can see they’re both rising – not with an 800 year delay, but at the same time. If CO2 wasn’t causing global warming as was the case in the past, then why is there no 800 year delay?

This only proves a correlation between CO2 and global warming and not a causality. The reason we’ve concluded that greenhouse gas emissions are causing global warming (or more accurately, accelerating it) is because natural causes can’t account for the increase in global warming over the past 40-50 years. They account for most of the warming prior to that, but climate models have determined that greenhouse gases are responsible for about 80-90% of the recent global warming:

The very first inputs into climate models were solar, volcanic, and sunspot contributions, but they simply couldn’t account for the recent acceleration in global warming. Thus climate scientists have concluded that humans are the primary cause.
Are you kidding me.Have you been living in Russia or something? Locked in your house?Where have you been?
Ask Algore. He's sell you a carbon credit at the same time.
Well... I heard that scientists are trying to find a way to stop cows from farting because that is what is causing the global warming!
Though the years, the Earth gets warmer and warmer of course you'll still have cooler days because it's not that bad yet, but if we don't help it at all, we will just get warmer and warmer and we'll relize it, but if we still just let it go the Earth will get hotter and hotter until it burns up (it probley won't burn up it our life times tho). One day We I was clicking though chances it showed the ground be all brown and some type fire type (it looked kinda like lava to me tho) and the show said "Massive of fires" or something like that and it also said something else, but I forget it tho. I showed on the screen and said "2050" so I guess that's their prediction of 2050 if Global Warming gets worse. I turned the channel because I didn't wanna worry about that. If we help Global Warming some it won't come as early as 2050 (if that's right), but no one know the future for sure so we don't know if that's REALLY going to happen or not. This is what I think, if Global Warming continus, the Earth will end up looking like the ice age, but with fire. I also think that Global Cooling started the ice age, it kept on getting colder and colder until it froze, but some people said it was some type of comet that hit the Earth and wiped out the dinosours. I think that the ice age was the dinosours "end of the world" witch was probley eighter caused by Global Cooling or a comet. So I think if Global Warming continus that burning will be our "end of the world" witch if it does happen, it won't happen in our life time, not for a LOOOONG time. That's my thought.


Bye bye.
global warming is where the earth's temperature rises. this will effect the north pole's ice. how many ice are there in north pole, lots of them. when the temperature of earth rises, the ice will melt and become water. it will increase the depth of seawater and its not impossible one day it will flood every continent in the world. nothing will survive. there are no high grounds for us to stay. so think about it and help preserve mother nature..
Global Warming is the effect of greenhouse effect. Greenhouse effect is cause by many deadly gases. This deadly gases destroy the Ozone Layer, if the Ozone Layer is gone Ultra Violet Rays will enter the earth. Ultra Violet Rays come from the sun, Ultra Violet Rays is the cause of skin cancer. Your surroundings will become hot
Global warming may be a blessing or a curse, depending on whether you are currently too warm or too cold. I live in California, and the climate here is just perfect! But if I lived in Wisconsin, I would probably like it to be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. If I lived in Florida, I would defintely want it to be much cooler in the summer.
Overall, the planet will take care of itself.
Ok if you want a good explaination here it is

Global Warming is the warming of the earths atmosphere due to infrared light that is kept in our atmosphere. Infrared light is absorbed by chemicals such as CO2 instead of reflected by the earths surface into space. Some of this CO2 absorbtion is natural but when CO2 is added by buring fossil fuels, more heat is trapped in, warming the earth. The earth is NOT getting colder anytime soon, trust me on that.
