global warming: myth or reality?

Are we gonna wait for something to happen to us before we could say "oh yea its true". I believe its true, If there's something we can do to prevent it, do it now ^_^

Hi well this is my forum topic entitled "global warming: myth or reality" for i think that was true if the global warming in this earth will be than by over population and over waste of nature. I think if the global warming will happen many people will no longer to survive here in this earth. Well that's why we must protect our mother earth and conserve the use of nature and protect the nature. I hope somebody will discover a device that will stop the global warming in this earth. By the way the thing that i will do to stop this global warming is to plant trees and i will start a program that will teach the people to conserve nature and not to abuse the nature. . . Well this is the end of my response to your topic! Thank you very much! Happy posting to all and happy earnings too. . . Godbless us all. . . Please let's protect our nature!

Both, Some of this is man made speeding it up, and others is just because we are entering into a part of the galaxy with more hydrogen in general that makes all the sun and stars burn slightly hotter, and as more hydrogen enters into our atmosphere more changes on the way with this as well. Most of the facts I do not doubt. But global warming or not the loss of resources is gonna force the world to change... One solution I been trying to get people to look at that I found is called The Air Car, it is a car that runs on compressed air... Does not burn it just runs on it. clean air goes in clean air comes out... - DNatureofDTrain

I think that the "facts" as they're called are subject to interpretation. I think that this planet is so vast that for humans to conclusively say "We're doing X," is the epitome of hubris. Is there some kind of transformation occurring on the planet? Most definitely. It's been that way from the birth of the blue-green marble. But how can we know conclusively that we're the ones responsible for the change? We're basing things on previous models. Normally, this is a good idea and extremely accurate. But the planet has been known to go through massive and sudden changes in its environment before. There was the great deluge (think Noah), the Ice Age where the ice advanced a FOOT a WEEK. Think about that. A foot a week. That's incredibly fast. Most of the planet would be have progressively uninhabitable for humans in a short span of time. Is there a strong probability that humanity is impacting the environment in a negative fashion? Yes. That goes without question. We are a huge influence on the world around us. But I hazard to say that good old Mother Earth is one tough old broad. If we stray too far, she'll bring us right back in line. We don't determine her fate, she determines ours. So, the key here is to act responsibly and not fly off half-cocked. A mere fifty years ago, scientists were advocating warming the planet up to stave off a second Ice Age. Well, why were their "facts," any more right or wrong then the doom and gloom proponents of global warming?

I definitely think global warming is real. If you study into the Earth's history you will see that the earth has gone through many cycles of warming and cooling. It's just what the earth does. The issue with it now though, is that we are accelerating the earth's natural cycle, so there really is no way to predict what could happen next based on the past, because this is something the earth hasn't seen before.
