Do you belive in Global Warming or Global Cooling
Personally I believe in global cooling. I have seen more of the affects of global cooling than global warming.

Here's the thing, over the past however years that scientists have mapped out the average temperature has gone up. It's a question of whether it's a natural climate change or if it's a man made warming.

I had never heard of "global cooling"...so I looked it up. A 1970s theory that never had scientific support? That's why I've never heard of it until now I guess.

I believe in Global warming BUT.....
I dont think it is as much because of us as a lot of people make it out to be. I think it is just a natural occurance.

Speaking of "Global Warming" all I know is wherever Al Gore goes to preach his gospel the temps start dropping and the snow starts falling! If they are ALL so insistent on man causing this "problem" why don't we EXILE AL GORE to the North Pole! Perhaps it can stop the ice caps from melting! Problem Solved!

I believe he won an Oscar for his ability to "preach his gospel"?

He won but HE SHOULD STOP jetting around the world on his private plane (you believers know that it causes CO2, right?!). Right now he is part of the problem (an environmental group did an audit on his supposed carbon-free lifestyle and he actually emits MORE CO2 than the Average American does). So if he wants to be a part of the solution he should just go up to the North Pole and live out the rest of his life there! He can preach all he wants from his place up there!

I hate when people have strong opinions when in reality they have no idea. I have absolutely no idea if there is such a thing as human caused global warming. Though it does appear that the Earth is warming.

Come on now folks...there is no such thing as global warming. If anything, we are simply still coming out of the last ice age. Another thing that Al Gore won't tell you is that last year there was more ice than ever recorded at the South Pole.

The global average temperature has continued on its upward trend. Many scientists agree that we need to cap CO2 concentrations at 350PPM to stabalize the climate. As you may know, water vapor is the most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere at over 90%. The skeptics would say that CO2 has increased after temperature on the long-term graph. That may have been accurate in the past, but now humans are destabalizing that previous infered trend and making it irrelevent. CO2 is now exponentially increasing so it in turn increases temperatures.
