@popcorn3penguin: you are right and wrong. Very wrong. Yes, there have been series of small climat shifts over the past cupple thousand years. The one we are in now is different. There is 10 times as much co2 in the atmosphere as there ever has been in history. And this warming period is so much larger then past ones. Crazy big. And the funny thing is, this all started at the time of the industrial rev. Rigt when we first started pumping co2 into he atmosphere. And no, it wasn't created by a confused man. It was created by scientist that know alot more about the earth then you do(no offense. But they do). If you look at level of carbon dioxide levels in ice coare samples he greates concentration is over he past 200 years. Greater then it has ever been over thousands of years. And yu do realize that some people that work for oil companies lie about global warming being a hoax. The companies pay them. The same hing happened when they were doing reasurch on the hazards of smoking. Scientest that were paid would say it is fine but when studies came back, it was too late. Thousands of ppl died or were going to because of tobacco. The same thin will happen with global warming. NYC will be under water and then everybody all say oh I guess it is real. But by then it will be too late.

hey! Winters getting colder are a result of global warming. (ahem, cough, cough) because the world is getting warmer, the winters seem colder, its actually always that cold (unless u happen to live in alaska or hawaii those are exeptions) :smileyindifferent:

It's true. Global Warming is true, but we don't have solid proof. Yet.

TO AUTHOR OF THREAD: you might want to lay off the Jesse Ventura a little ;). Global warming is indeed real and a very very serious issue. Although it is in some way, part of the earth’s natural cycle. The cycle of the planet getting warmer and then colder, the problem is that a process that should take a few hundred years, though now it could now take decades. Sure there is snow in Florida but I once received snow in May, these weather rarities do happen. But it is solid scientific fact that the large amounts of carbon emissions are having a very big impact on the environmental health of our wonderful planet and that unless we change this world will be a scary place in 20 years.

Of course it's real! I learned in science that they may have cold fronts in Florida, but there is global warming, especially, ESCPECIALLY, in the polar ice caps.

The overall temperature of the earth hasn't changed very much over the past 100 years. Although I do think that if humans continue to emit more and more CO2 (carbon dioxide) we will have problems, things are being done like using renewable energy. Basically, at this point we don't have much effect on the overall temperature of the earth.

global warming DOES EXIST!!!!!!! I have seen a video made by scientists about global warning. what will happen is a serious issue. THE POLAR ICE CAPS ARE SHRINKING FASTER THAN RECORDED BEFORE!!!!!!! GLACIERS ARE DISSAPEARING!!!!!!!! sorry about the caps lock! @popcorn3penguin, did you know that FLORIDA will be UNDERWATER soon if global warming progresses?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! No offence to anyone:) -crazycobra :)

Hi, this is ghostie. Global warming exists. If you want proof go to the north pole.

~ghostie, who loves to skii :D

Yes, global warming is real. The carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is trapping in the heat of the sun (look up the "greenhouse effect") and making some parts of the world hotter. This heat then melts the ice caps in the north pole (and the antarctic ice sheet- great photos of that), turning them to water and making the ocean levels rise, which causes many people's homes and lands to be flooded. Have you heard about the flooding around the cheaspeake bay? However, flooding isn't the only problem. Around 100 years ago (1913 ish) the average temparature during the summer was like 75 degrees fareinhiehgt. Now (at least in my state Maryland) the average summer temparature is like 90- 95 degrees.

@popcorn3penguin, did you know that the coastal U.S. getting colder is actually a sign of global warming? The polar ice caps are melting at an unbeliveably fast rate, and that water is disrupting the current that carries warm water (and air) to the east coast. This causes the whole east coast to cool down considerably.

dude, YOU'RE kidding me, right? global warming is real, and there may be climate change, but take a look at the Artic. Poor polar bears!! I love those guys! When a polar bear's fur turns yellowish, it means its climate is too warm. There are too many yellow polar bears!! I speak for the Earth and its creatures.

Global Warming is a huge problem that is effecting earth in many bad ways. Global Warming is not just real but putting many species on the line, including humans. It's really funny that humans are harming themselves! Humans are building factories that are polluting the air and helping the cause of Global Warming. Sure there is snow in Florida, I live in California and we have snow in in higher mountain villages, but there's less, almost none of it, because of GLOBAL WARMING!!!!

Global Warming is real! Did none of you pay attention in sceince! What does this topic have to do with Saveing the Planet. HMM? Global Warming can be cold just because it has the word "warm" in it does not mean it is just in the high temperture. We now know it as Climate Change.

Global warming is real and it could destroy the human species!!! I believe that gas and oil and stuff like that is what is destroying the earth. Since I am only in 5th grade global warming is really scary to me

Before you start insulting people who know that Global Warming is real and really a serious threat to everyone, hear us out. It is not Global Warming; it is CLIMATE CHANGE. That means that some places might get a little colder. Second, snow is UNUSUAL in Florida. It is not UNHEARD OF. So snow is possible. Snow is possible anywhere at any time that it gets to thirty-two degrees or lower and there is even a slim chance of precipitation. When I saw what you said, I thought, YOU'RE kidding us. Global Warming is a serious threat to everyone and everything on Earth. There's already a hole in the ozone over Antarctica. If we're not careful, we could destroy so much of the ozone that we have have next to no protection from the dangerous ultraviolet rays from the sun.
