The evidence indicates it is real, and that human activity is the primary (though not necessarily sole) cause. I'm not convinced enough Americans accept that Global Warming is real to effect necessary changes. Some groups who proposed business oriented solutions (such as cap and trade) have since backpedaled, and if America accepts global warming is real the country is doing next to nothing about it.
Not necessarily, as belief in evolution and belief in global warming don't really have anything to do with each other. That said, a person who believes in evolution is probably more likely to believe in global warming, as they tend to listen to what scientists say, and scientists are the biggest advocates for global warming being real.
Yes, most people accept that global warming is happening. They understand that the ten hottest years on record have all happened since 1995. They are beginning to experience more extreme weather events that are the result of climate change.
Opinion: No, I do not. Opinion: I do believe that we are experiencing global warming. And even though it may not feel any warmer to you (or to me) it is still true that the glaciers are melting. And it is true that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased considerably since the start of the Industrial Revolution, and continue to increase. Coincidence? I think not. But decide for yourself. Opinion: Correlation does not prove causation. And if it did, it would, in fact, disprove the theory of anthropogenic global warming, since CO2 has been going up every year, while annual average temperatures have not. Opinion: Yes, global warming is happening and most countries are not doing enough to stop it. Heat records are being broken every year all over the world!
People are free to choose whether to believe that global warming is real, and no one says that they must believe the scientific evidence for global warming. However, those who wish to be informed would note that there is a strong scientific consensus that this is the case. Also, people who accept the reality that global warming is happening are the people who will be able to provide the leadership needed to solve the problem.
The concept of Global Warming being real or not is hardly a party issue. The concept has moved away from the science and moved into a very political arena. Both sides take a similar view on Global Warming. They ignore the science and claim that the debate is over. It almost seems like the Democrat party's stand on global warming is that global warming is caused by Republicans. If you want it colder vote for Democrats. If you want it warmer vote for Republicans. This, of course, is not their official position.
People think of it as a Democrat issue because the Democrats are the ones who are talking about it.Many people in the United States consider it a "Democrat issue" because the Democratic party, spearheaded by Al Gore, have embraced the concept that global warming is important.The idea that Democrats are the only people that accept the issue of global warming has always mystified me. There are certainly people on both sides of politics that believe the theory is valid.
Not necessarily, but possibly if there will be those who continue to not make an effort to understand and accept those unlike themselves. The same is for the rest of the world.
In rhetoric, that is called "begging the question". It means that you already accept that something is true and you are trying to force an answer from another person that would make them agree with you. Either way you answer the question means that you accept that the concept of global warming is true. Global warming is not proved to be factual and probably exists only as a method to frighten young children into convincing their parents to give the government more control over their private life, money and business. The earth warms and cools. We have too little data to make a prediction about how man is affecting the climate and what data we do have is now suspect because of bad science. When I was a kid, we had a ice age scare. And, no, an ice age didn't happen.
A: There is no one skeptics' view on global warming. Some examples are:Some skeptics say the world is not warming at all. In fact a few even say that the world is cooling, although this flies in the face of meteorological records.Some say that if the world is warming, that is great. They think that global warming means warmer winters and more agricultural production, with no ill effects.Some say that if the world is warming, they realise that there will be winners and losers, but we expect to be among the winners. Losers could include inhabitants of Pacific Islan nations and Bangladesh, and perhaps some of our own coastal communities, but a lot of winners will live in richer nations.Some say that if the world is warming, there is nothing we can do about it. Variations on this include denying that atmospheric carbon dioxide is contributing to global warming, or that we are too powerless to stop rising levels.Some accept that global warming is real and that greenhouse gases are contributing to it, but say that rising greenhouse gas levels are not the result of human activity.Some claim that the short-term economic cost of halting global warming is more important than the long-term cost of climate change. A variation on this is to say that the evidence for global warming is still unconvincing to some, so why pay a cost now for a future benefit that might not materialise.A:Some think it isn't happening at all. They claim that more recent temperature readings are tainted by the Urban Heat Island effect.Others think even if it is happening, humans bear very little, if any, of the responsibility for it.They also point to NATURAL cycles of the Earth, the Sun, and our solar system's movement through the galaxy.Others think that, whether it is caused by humans or not, the results are not nearly as bad as predicted.
The science of global warming is not a hoax. No scientist has anything to gain by creating a hoax. In fact, any evidence that a research scientist has engaged in this would be career-destroying. The only employment open to trained scientists who value propaganda over research is in some sections of industry, but it is unlikely that any business would seek to create belief in global warming. As to whether global warming is real, the facts speak for themselves. The average global temperature is rising and has been doing so since the Industrial Revolution. The years 1998, 2005 and 2010 are regarded as the equal warmest years on record. The past decade was the warmest since instrumental measurements began in 1850, and the ten warmest years since 1850 have now all occurred since 1998.
The present phase of global warming, even though rapid by comparison with previous, natural climate change events, is nevertheless so slow that the ordinary person can be unaware that it is occurring. Certainly, the last ten years have been the warmest since instrumental readings began in 1850, but no one has such a long experience and no one can be sure that recent temperatures have been warmer on average than they were a few decades ago. There is good reason for some people not to believe that global warming is really happening unless they actively seek to be informed by climate experts. And there are always some who push misinformation in the hope of convincing the general public that global warming is not really happening. On the other hand, some believe in the reality of global warming because they have taken the trouble to be informed of the clear consensus among climate scientists that it is happening. They are aware that polar sea ice is melting and that sea levels are rising. These are people who may not understand the details of the science, but they accept the advice of scientists.
that its just a scare to get people to buy expensive eco friendly stuff. Or if it is real, then were not really in trouble. There has to be a way to get rid of the water that is melting from ice caps. Why dont we give some water to the desert?A:Some opinions are that global warming is real, and others say it is not real. This is debateable. I know a lot of information on this subject, and I would have to say that this crisis is real, and happening. The clues lead up to this matter. With the carbon emmisions and the greenhouse gases and CO2. (methane is another alternative greenhouse gas, if you didn't know.) I am in college, and I have to do a project on the greenhouse gases, with global warming in the mix.
