Do you believe in global warming/climate change?

Do you believe that global warming/climate change is a serious problem for the earth or do you think that it's part of the earths natural environmental cycle. Myself, I beleive that human actions are drastically changing the environment for the worse and the human race will eventually be extinct due to this.

I think it's real. I won't say if I think it's us or a natural cycle, because I don't know.

I do know that if it continues, and I don't think we have seen any evidence to the contrary, that life will change dramatically as well. We might have to abandon all our costal cities, have different season times and strengths, and see a lot of species die off.

It is definately real. However CO2 may not have such a largte effect on it as previously thought. However it has always been known that there are other gasses with a far greater effect on the atmospheric termperature and global warmign than CO2.

Yes, that is true, imo, but people can still believe it or not believe it as they see fit.

It's very real. I saw on my local weather forecast that we'll be experiencing the effects of it the day after tomorrow.

And just to let everyone know the term 'global warming' does not mean that eventually the planet will become like Venus. What it does mean is that our climate will be thrown into flux.

Do I believe that natural global warming and cooling would have happened with or without humans? Yes. Do I believe that it is possible that we have sped up the warming process? Yes.

Do I believe that it will make us go extinct? Definitely not.

This, pretty much. ^

After watching Al Gores documentary 'An Inconvenient Truth' yes it make me believe in it

Yes. Whether it's anthropogenic (ie caused by humans) is irrelevant -- there is no reason why we can not/should not do our best as a species to cut down on pollutants.

Yeah, pretty much this, too. ^ :P

i believe in climate change, however i do not believe what so ever that humans have caused it, climate change is a natural and good thing and destroying our economies for a "popular science" is ridiculous

Yes, global warming is occurring, and yes, it's going to make our lives more difficult if it continues.

When i was young our x-masses were always snowy, but nowadays we celebrate x-mas without any snow ... so yes i do believe.

I did, until I did a reseach report on it. Also, it's been getting so much colder every year. This summer, there has been like 3 days that were in the 90's, and last summer, like everyday was atleast 90.

You cant look at it like that, climate change isnt something that is noticable one summer to the next,

The climate change causes more Storms among other thing, so what your saying is basicly, Hmm, there are more storms now and bad wheater and it isnt hotter then last summer so that must mean that there isnt any global warming.

I think it is a natural cycle, humans may or may not be speeding it up. Look at the ice ages. Were humans around then? No. Did the climate rapidly change? Yes.

I love mountains. Recently on a trip I was in a place where a 100 years ago there supposedly was a huge glacier...there was practically nothing left. It was a very sad sight to see.

That's true. I mean I think it's changing, but not nearly as fast as people say it to be.

Do I believe in man-made global warming? Absolutely not. Do I believe that pollution needs to be reduced on this planet? Absolutely! I do beilieve that it is nothing more than climate change, something that man has no say in, this whole belief in man-made warming is fueling the initiative by a group of banksters to tax every breath we take, eventually a global carbon tax is coming.

I find it funny that the past few years have been exceptionally cool where I am living. This year is actually cooler than the last by a long shot. Last week alone we had 3 or 4 days that it was very near cool, this is not the norm in the mid-west of america at the same time there really hasn't been much as far as horrible tornado destruction, which I would've expected listening to Gore and his minions, *shrugs* I would say believe what you will .

I only know that if we don't do something about it,we will be pretty screwed
