what is the real reason for global warming?

the ozone lair is thining faster than it can renue its self so the sun is not reflected as much therefore the earth is graduly warmer year after year and they keep upgradeing sunblock for this reason the suns ultraviolet rays are more intense than they use to be so we are experiencing more cases of skin cancer although some cases can be attrubuted to taning beds as well.

the global warming theory is driven by politics, not science

Global warming is the term used to describe how the average temperature of the planet is going up. No one denies that the temperature is, in fact, going up. Therefore, no one denies that global warming is a fact.\n\nHowever, according to studies of Antarctic ice, the average temperature of the planet has been rising for 6,000 years, which is well before the Industrial Revolution of 150 years ago. This proves that global warming is not caused by man. In that time, however, the rate of temperature rise has increased, which means that the actions of humanity probably has worsened the situation.\n\nThe critical facts about global warming are these:\n\nWhat are the effects of global warming going to be, and how can we prepare for them? Currently, no model of global atmospheric projection has shown itself to accurately predict to any degree the general weather patterns of the Earth (such as the number and ferocity of hurricanes). Until we come up with an accurate way of predicting the effects of global warming, preparing for them will be difficult and based upon conjectures, which are a difficult sell to taxpayers.\n\nWhat can be done to limit the effect of humanity on global warming in the future WITHOUT putting a major damper on economic growth and development, especially in developing nations? For example, all nations could agree to stop driving vehicles that use internal combustion engines, but to do so at once would devastate the economies of many nations. However, other options, such as diverting tax funds to subsidize the development of alternative-energy propulsion for vehicles, would accelerate the advent of such earth-friendly technology.\n\nAll in all, because of the massive stakes involved when discussing global warming (and the subsequent misinformation flying around about it), many people are confused as to the facts about it. I was hoping to be as informative and unbiased as possible.\n\nPlease let me know what you think!

The radiations emitted from the sun and also the earth are usually blocked by layers of atmospheric gases and prevent them from escaping into space.This causes 'GLOBAL WARMING'-due to the reflected radiations.This is also known as 'GREEN HOUSE EFFECT'.

Global warming is the opposite of global cooling.  The Earth has gone through at least 3 episodes of cooling/warming.  Where I am sitting now was once under about 1000 feet of ice.  The Earth warmed up enough to melt all that ice -- and this was way before there were any cars or industry (or even people).  Global warming is NOT caused by people living their lives and producing things. People may have an effect on the rate, but we are not the CAUSE. BTW, the ozone layer hole, which expands and contracts, has no direct effect on global cooling/warming.

many different factors, one being us. Humans speed the natural process of global warming, just like an ice age, the earth every few million years goes through a process of warming, but greenhouse gases and other things that humans do have been speeding up the process. However, we are not the ones that cause it, since it's a natural cycle, so basically this was bound to happen. This has nothing to do with the end of the world or anything crazy like that. Some theories suggest that this will bring another ice age (a lot of water evaporates and creates a thick layer of clouds, preventing the sun from reaching the surface...the temperature gets colder and an ice age occurs. We will probably not live to see these events since they happen over a Long period of time.

Good...global warming is a very serious issue\n\nhere are few very helpful site that will take you on a tour to contempory issues in global warming, answers all the global warming related questions\n\nyou will love it\nThis is informative site about global warming..\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming\n\nthis one is government's site telling government's actions on Global Warming\n\nhttp://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html

There is enough evidence as it is. It is happening, and the reasons may be natural (interglacials, etc) or man-made (which would be, ultimately, "natural" too), but that doesn't matter because the effects are altering the world right now. \nI think the people who always advocate for "more evidence" and "further consideration" instead of real action about pollution issues are those interested in their immediate benefits. I guess they want to buy more time to continue earning their profits, or maybe they think that anything we can do is useless. \nThe Kyoto protocol has been around for a while now, and guess which countries have been refusing to compromise?

First you hqve to believe thqt global warming is in fact happening. Second, if it is (it's still a theory, not a fact), what are teh causes. the earth spins like a top. Tops wobble. The last "wobble" in the earth caused the ice age. The next could be an incerase in ambient atmospheric temperature returning the earth to a more tropical cliamte such as the one the dinosaurs thrived in.\n\nWith that in mind, recycling doesn't do anything one way or the other for global warming. It does, however, keep us from filling the earth with needless waste and enables our natural resources to last longer. Rmember, plastics are a petroleum product (oil, gasoline, etc).

Global warming caused by humans is a myth.  It has been debunked by scientist after scientist.  The reason the earth is in a "warming cycle" (the temp on earth has risen 1 degree in the last 100 years..1 DEGREE) is because the sun is hotter.  \n\nThe environment is the new "religion" of the left, both in America and abroad. They don't believe in God and hate America.

Did you mean Global Warming?\nGlobal warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. The term is also used for the scientific theory of anthropogenic global warming, which attributes much of the recently observed and projected global warming to a human-induced intensification of the greenhouse effect.\n\nFor more info go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Warming

through trees and the process of photosyntesis..\n\nglobal warming occurs because of the excess of certain gases, CO2 and others, in the atmosphere. photosyntesis can help recycle those gases by turning them into oxygen. By cutting down trees there's less ways to get rid of those gases and so they keep accumulating in the atmosphere causing an increase in global warming.\n\nhope that helps

global warming is a designer cause like so many of the other causes that are being puffed up at your local Starbucks as we speak. Of coarse we want to be smart and clean about how we live.  Try punching in global warming and you will see that the real science institutions i.e. MIT. Cal Tech. etc. have this cause under junk science.  real scientist, I don't mean phd's who are looking for easy research money, will laugh at this notion that your weed wacker is warming the planet.

Global warming has two main applications. The first is that there are certain gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, warming planets. This is known to take place on Venus, Earth, and the gas giants. Earth is the hospitable place that it is because of global warming.\n\nThis takes place because of greenhouse gases, which allow radiation from the sun to pass through the atmosphere and warm the surface of the earth. The surface then re-radiates this energy back towards space in the infrared spectrum. This energy would escape and our planet would be as cold as the moon, were it not for the greenhouse gases (mainly CO2, ozone, methane, and water vapor). They absorb the infrared energy and radiate it back to earth, increasing the overall amount of radiation hitting the earth's surface, keeping it warm day and night.\n\nThat this takes place is clear and indisputable. There is simply too little energy coming from the sun to account for our planet's temperature. The controversial point is when global warming is applied to the current rise in average global temperature that has taken place over the past 50 so years. Most scientists believe that warming of the planet is due to increases in greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, mainly due to human activities on earth.

well, scientists and meteorologists theorise that because of global warming, the ocean's waters are getting warmer and causing more hurricanes and tropical storms to spawn. also, the earth is the warmest it's been in over 2000 years. all you need to know, WE BEAT THE RECORD! :P
