got to be some!! we have leveled half the worlds forest, and more falls everyday, we spew billions of tons of co2 into the atmosphere along with all kinds of other pollutants,, we are polluting most of the water on this planet we are stripping the land, air,and oceans of organic life and we keep making more humans and machines that keep accelerating the process.. i say yes got to be some, but how much?? don't know..

I don't know if it exists, but if I had to pick one I would go with "probably not." I don't think humans are significant enough to dramatically change the global climate in the way that some people are predicting. The climate will change; it will warm and it will cool, despite what humans do. That being said, destroying forests and pumping toxic chemicals into the air is eventually going to have a negative impact on our health, so certain pollution controls and environmental standards are still needed.

There was so much passion about Global Warming 5 years ago.

Maybe the thrill is gone.

I wanted to vote, Joe, but failed to find hell no as a choice so I just voted no.

When I think about how seriously the EPA wanted to charge farmers for cow farts because of all that gas they expel I have to think about wondering how many dinosaurs were on this Earth once. Huge animals and ruminants (plant eaters) just like cows. I wonder what it sounded like when very any of them farted in one area.

IPCC was never anything but another attempt by some global dreamers of a chance to take over. How far behind are our plants these days from keeping up with replenishment of oxygen. Also, how do they exist without all that CO2 that is so important to them.

One freaking day? That tells us nothing. There have been more than 27 years of consecutive months with temperatures above the 20th century average....That does tell us that the climate is warming..

You are quite gullible.

Thermometers placed near AC units and fudged data doesn't prove anything.

And even if the earth is warming, that's nothing new. It's been happening for centuries. It wii continue to cool and warm long after we are dead.

When I fire up Al Gore's science fiction movie, I'm momentarily convinced that it exists. When I pull my head from out of my posterior, I realize that it's all a money making ruse
