Global Warming is caused by increasing amounts of carbon dioxide causing a higher average temperature globally, certain areas may actually cool down due to changes in weather patterns. Global warming causes many other things other than just an increase in temperature. Many places will experience less rain, for example.

Regardless, it is an undeniable fact that the globe is warming. Scientists have mountains of evidence to prove that it is occurring. Satellites and ground measurements show conclusively that average temperatures are in fact rising. But perhaps the most conclusive evidence comes in the form of glaciers. Look at the history of any glacier and you will see that they have receded over the century. These images are commonly available; just type "glacial retreat global warming" into Google images.

Some people, however, claim that global warming is false and that scientists have been conspiring with liberal hippies for more government. This theory, like many conspiracy theories is total garbage. Science, of all institutions is the last institution capable of conspiracy or cover up. Any scientist who revises a theory, any scientist who institutes a paradigm shift successfully is automatically rewarded with power, money, and even fame. People like Watson and Crick, Einstein, Maxwell, Newton, Galileo and Coppernicus who institute a paradigm shift within science are the driving force of great scientific discoveries. It is every scientist's dream to institute a paradigm shift. So to claim that scientists would somehow engage in a cover-up is crazy. It goes against the founding principle of science.

But really, you don't need to be a scientist to see that global warming is occurring. My parents, for example, are avid mountain climbers, and in their trips with me they have noticed how the glaciers have retreated visually even to the untrained eye.

What evidence is there that global warming is a myth?

There is no evidence that global warming is a myth.

How did the deployment of nuclear weapons effect global warming?

I am pretty sure the deployment of nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not affect global warming. There is no evidence to suggest that the deployment of nuclear weapons in the second World War affected global warming in any way.


Do you realize global warming is a myth?

The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that global warming is real and primarily caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels. The evidence for climate change is supported by data from temperature records, melting ice caps, and shifting weather patterns. It is important to rely on scientific evidence and expert consensus when evaluating issues like global warming.


Do evolutionists believe in global warming?

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.
