What do you think about global warming?
and i cant spell curious right...at least i dont think so.
Answer:
There are a lot of common topics that the skeptics keep recycling. Some of these were put into a television show that first aired in Britain and is now going to be shown in Australia. The "points" that were made in this TV show were contested in this article:
http://www.amos.org.au/bamos_ggws_new.pd...
It pretty much covers the scientific validity of all the major points that people who want to ignore reality try to envoke to fight their case. It is pretty interesting actually because they show the famous "little ice age" temperature recordings... but the one that the skeptics pull out is just one location of many, but when you put all the different locations on the graph you can see that not all areas cooled like the place that was choosen, and that not all became as hot directly before as the one that was choosen. In fact, if you average all of the locations there is a disturbing trend near the end of the graph where all of these locations are up in temperature, therefore, no locations are balancing the temperature out for the average. Here is another version of the temperature graph that shows multiple locations: http://www.lowimpactliving.com/images/de... but the one in the article is better because each temperature location is independently shown where as this one shows the average and standard deviation. Another graph that they pointed out as quite comical was the "solar" graph and how the solar/global temperature seemed to go in concert with each other. If you look a little closer you'll notice that the solar data cuts out at 1975... hmmm, the reason why is becuse the Earth's temperature data has gone up since 1975, where as the solar data would suggest that we should have been cooling since 1975. It is amazing how you can make a case for anything if you are willing to lie. Anyways, once put up to peer review the skeptics cases have no substance every time. Don't get me wrong, it is good to question, that is part of science, but as of yet, all the scenarios that the skeptics have derived evidence from have either been misrepresented (which is unfortunately bad science and wastes time) or else the empirical evidence has proven them incorrect. Enjoy the article!
I think humans had better get real serious about it real soon.
EnragedParrot is bang on about the swindle.
I think it's one of the most important issues ever faced by the human race. And you can spell better than you think.
And 21 yo, the video you suggested is a propaganda piece, don't bother with it. It's pathetic even if you don't accept global warming theory. Even a few minutes search on the Internet will make this painfully obvious.
people n the government should take action nothing is imposible ..
natural. as the suns activity increases, so does the temperature.
AL gore says that as co2 rises and the temperature follows. hes is right except the other way around. co2 rises as temperature rises, in fact, co2 levels lag behind temperature by about 800 years.
Science has proven (as much as science is ever proven) that global warming is real and mostly caused by us. The most important thing is for you to look at what the scientists say, not what people here (including me) say.
The proof involves large amounts of data and calculations, far too much for here. But here's a simple picture, including the sun, volcanoes, and other things. It shows the basic facts. Until about 50 years ago climate was determined by natural things, like changes in the sun. About 1960 our rapidly increasing production of greenhouse gases, mostly from burning fossil fuels, overwhelmed nature, and is causing things to warm fast, with serious consequences.

Almost all of the world's scientists agree about this, because of the scientific data. Don't be fooled by the debates on FunQA.com. There are only a (very) few skeptical scientists. Many are driven by politics, not science. Most all of their "scientific" arguments are answered here:

Good website for more information, with lots of scientific data and pictures, and links to more detailed discussions and data:

By the way, the swindle movie is wrong.
"The science might be bunkum, the research discredited. But all that counts for Channel 4 is generating controversy."
http://environment.guardian.co.uk/climat...
Gore's movie may be a little over dramatic, but it has the basic science right. This movie does not.
Channel 4 itself undercuts the movie in a funny way. If you go to their website on the movie you find links to real global warming information. They also say "Confused now? Ask the Expert." The link for questions goes to a respected mainstream scientist who supports (mostly) human responsibility for global warming.
It's caused by human beings alright.The CO2 given out by cars,air-conditioners,factorie... etc are causing the temperature to rise and it gets worse in recent decade.The Kyoto Treaty which the US refused to sign is supposed to agree on controlling the amount of CO2 produced by the committee nations. So Global Warming is very much the result of humans' greed and selfishness ,Nothing else.
Well, you did spell curious right, and since you are, take a look at this:

It may take awhile, but it'll give you an idea of what's going on behind the scenes.
And you can treat the environment in the right way without having to believe in Global Warming and without having people that this world is going to hell...
you spell it like I spell it so you're ok.
I think global warming is with us and will be with us for quite a long time.
