Theoretically, global warming is man-made because it is due to human activities that global warming is happening in the first place. Our factories and vehicles which emit exhaust into the atmosphere has created that extra layer of greenhouse gasses which simply added on to the exisiting layer of greenhouse gasses, resulting in even more energy from the sun being trapped ultimately leading to global warming.

Hmm, kay.

Do you realize that the Earth has been considerably warmer in the past? I'm talking about the medieval times. Wait, let's go back further. Remember when the Chinese were first exploring the earth? Did you know they sailed through the northern passage? The very same northern passage that is covered in ice today. We can't sail through without sending in ice breakers, and I sure as hell can guarantee that the ancient Chinese didn't have the current ice breakers that we have in our Navy.

You know the Senate, right? Well they recently released a bunch of papers basically saying that everything that they had said about global warming in the past was a crock of shit, as they had overlooked and not listened to many many prominent meteorologists, and instead had listened to scientists with very skewed information. Many of these scientists that had said it's our fault for global warming are taking back what they said as they did not have sufficient evidence, and they were making things up. All of this is cited, I can find these papers later if you want.

Do you have any citations that are credible that say it's a man-made problem? If so, I'd love to see and then respond with even more credible sources.

Do you know how long they have been able to record temperatures? About 100 years. Clearly long enough to know that the Earth has exponentially heated up, and it's clearly caused by the Human race. The earth is 6.5 Billion years old.

Do you know where they place the thermometers they use? Weather channel stations. Do you know where these stations are? In the middles of big cities. Big cities are going to be warmer than in the middle of nowhere. Clearly the earth is covered by big cities and it's incredibly representative of the entire earth.

Do you know how accurate the thermometers they use are? Within a couple of degrees. That means they're not precise. Do you know how much the earth has "warmed" up by? A couple of degrees. It's a good thing those thermometers are precise.

Truth.

I'm not arguing that the earth isn't getting warmer, rather that the doomsday ideals behind it are stupid. It's not caused by humans, either. Recently, a report was put out by some scientist (I'll find it later) saying that the earth may actually be cooling, now.

Oh, I definately know that theres Global warming going around in this world. I thought you were going to ask if it was man made or not. Well, I always thought that its a natural process of the Earth. Overheating to clean out the planet and then life continuing afterwards. I'm not saying that we're the reason why the Earth is dying but we are contributing to its death.

I dont know where i stand with global warming

I always think the media or the news is just trying to scare us thats why its there... so we sit at home and watch whats going on in society and go into a panic...

but I dont see enough stuff on global warming on the news... I rarely watch the news but when I do I dont see anything about it...

I think that the world goes through it stages of dramatic weather changes... such as ices ages or whatever... so if this is happening I think its only natural

Global warming is real buttt it scientifically it will not effect us for like 2,000 years and by then the world will be eaten by the sun. So i shall not worry about it. Of coarse its going to get a couple degrees higher each year because the earth is moving toward the sun a little bit more each year, but the temp. approx every 7 years declines or get higher and as of right now we are in the decline. Thats what i think.

I really don't think that global warming has much to do with human activity on the earth.

Global warming is real.
However, I strongly disagree with the way it's being campaigned. The media is making it seem like this sudden change happened within a year or 2 when really, it's slowly been building itself up for many, many years.
The "Go-Green" thing is a recent trend and the whole thing seems to be exaggerated.
Yes, the earth is heating up and could lead to truly catastrophic events.
No, our generation will not live to see that day and I doubt our grand children or even several generations after that will.
But yes, we should do something about it.. I just don't think "scaring" people into it by exaggerating things is an honest method.

Are you kidding? Global Warming is very real. If we didn't have global warming, then the planet would be too cold to survive on.

I definitely believe that global warming exists. People who think it doesn't have probably been somewhat brainwashed (for lack of a better word). I've read that there's been evidence of global warming ever since factories started growing in great numbers during the Industrial Revolution, and temperatures nowadays are significantly warmer than they're supposed to be. They have been for the past several years. Global warming is not a lie.


"For lack of a better word?" Just use a different word. You believe that someone who disagrees with you on global warming is brainwashed and I bet you think people who disagree with you on anything are brainwashed. Just because someone has a differing opinion from you does not mean they are "brainwashed" or even "ignorant" (which I bet you use that word too) so just don't use that word because it just shows your "stupidity."

Oh and to reply to the actual question: if or if not global warming is happening, I could care less.

this is called a debate thread for a reason.
frankly, if you don't believe at least that global warming is happening, you're either stupid as f*ck, brainwashed to shit, or ignorant as hell.

I usually disagree with Nate, but this isn't even an issue that's debatable. It's like saying that I don't believe there's salt in the ocean. It's been proven. The exact cause is what's debatable.
