I think global warming is real. Mankind has a definite impact on the environment, from the toxic cleaners we use in our homes daily, the large amount co2 emmissions generated daily and a host of other contaminants. How can it not effect the enviroment! I recall back in the early 60's when I picketed Ford factories and other factories to clean up thier emissions. Luckily we have come along way since. Additionlly I recall when when the Cleveland's Cuyahoga River burst into flames from all the toxins in it and Lake Erie was once dead. I did a lens about the first Earth Day in 1970 with some interesting facts, and what we can do to sustain our environment. I hope you can visit.
PS I gave you five stars

I think if nothing is done now in 70 or 80 some years New York and a lot of other cities will be under 30 or so feet of water. People that deny Global warming really need to wake up and get a clue. Do you know how really bad it's going to be?

I live in Washington State and the weather is really getting strange. We had snow in April. We also had for the most part a mild winter and they have been getting more mild over the last 20 years at a rate that really shouldn't be happening if things were all good.

global warming can be avoided if proper step are taken

Man is an insignificant wart on the belly of the earth, and has no control over waht happens here. Just look at Colorado winters where the roads get closed when Mother Nature decides to dump 2 feet of snow.

Global Warming due to man's carbon emission is nothing butter hype and bullspit. People need to know the truth, but to get there, we need real facts, not statistics made up by a wanna-be presidential candidate.

The climate models we use today were written over 30 years ago, in FORTRAN! You cannot even find a comercially available FORTRAN compiler to rebuild the code, and it is all 8-bit, we get better resolution and accuracy from our Excel spreadsheets!

Stop the lies, before it costs us trillions of dollars in wasted beurocracy. . .

Sunspots have a very DIRECT impact on the earth- even those in airplanes are in danger when sunspots are active. There isn't a thing we can do about it either, except watch the aurora borealis when it arrives.

We will just have to try - and we will be stopped by mother nature when the oil and natural gass resources run out.

Forget about emmissions.

Do solar and wind power to get away from the turmoil and dependence on the middle east.

I don't thing we're going to unless there is no other choice- our entire economy is based on high usage of fossil fuels and consuming everything we can get our hands on. It won't be until it actually collapses for everyone on the planet that we'll change, because there won't be any other way.

Ice age is upon.

Fact 1: Water vapor is a far more potent and far more abundant greenhouse gas than CO2. The CO2 contribution is trivial. People assume it's bad with very little evidence to support their assumption.

Fact 2: CO2 follows a diminishing curve. The means the 2nd unit of CO2 increase has less effect than the 1st. The third is even lower. For example, 100 units of CO2 increases temp by 1 degree, the next 100 increases it by half degree, the next by a quarter, and so on.

Fact 3: According to NASA the warmest years were before 1950 and the last few years have shown a flat temperature scale. So the spike seems to have little effect.

Fact 4: According to ice cores the historic temperature records show temperatures increasing 800-1200 years before CO2 increased.

Global warming, arctic meltdown, pollution are certainly happening as you read this but the question is: What are we going to do about it?

The problem with projections into the future is that they are based on bad data, poorly written models that are incomplete, and bias from the lastest politically correct sicentists to prove the point.

And these guys are brainwashing all the students in engineering, so it is a self perpetuating problem.

These cooling and warming trends have gone on for mellenia.

The "Medieval Climate Optimum" records temperatures ~2 degrees warmer than now. Do you suppose industry back then was the cause?

Global warming is due primarily to solar cycles that alternately cause decreases or increases in solar wind.

Strong solar winds stave off streams off cosmic rays that would otherwise slam into the ocean's surface, releasing vast quantities of water vapour (the most important of the greenhouse gases) and CO2.

Al Gore and his henchmen just want to empty our wallets of our hard earned money. A serious side-effect of all this: We leave Africa in poverty by denying them the tools needed for development.

Dr. S. Fred Singer (Professor Emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia states, "There is no dispute at all about the fact that even if punctiliously observed, (the Kyoto Protocol) would have an imperceptible effect on future temperatures - 1/20th of a degree by 2050."

Great debate topic. I've added your lens to the Earth Hour 2008 lens, to get everyone to turn out the lights for one hour 8:00 pm on March 29, 2008 in an effort to raise awareness about climate change.

I think this has more to do with dramatic climate swings, super cold storms, higher heat, dryer summers, snow in unusual places, floods, tornados, hurricanes.
