Global warming, yes or no?

No

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's somewhere in between A and B. So, A and a half?

I don't "believe" yes or no. It's a fact.

It's a fact that humans haven't caused it!

Perhaps, and if so it's to such a small degree that it's not worth worrying about.

im unsure what sort of cycle the earth is going through right now

but whatever it is humans did not cause it to any great extent

we're definately not helping it any.

YES!!!

Yes. There's evidence that we have caused it. It is regularly provided by scientists. The evidence that it is just part of the Earth's natural state, however is NEVER brought up by those who try to chalk warming up to nature.

30 years of hard evidence pretty much necessitates that the anti-CO2 crowd have to prove themselves now. The warming advocates have argued for it against everyone for a long time. Now's your turn if you want to change the popular opinion.

Warming: Yes

Man as the cause and not cyclical: NO

is the climate changing? - yes

global warming caused by humans? no - perhaps a small percent < 5% overall.

Al Gore cried last year when there was not another hurricane Katrina. He is also crying again this year that there have been no hurricanes so far this year. William Gray who has made a career out of forecasting hurricanes thinks that Gore is an opportunistic fear monger. There is no scientific method going on here this is all science generated by political types. Basically what has happened is that a conclusion has been generated and then evidence is found to support the conclusion. Gray, on the other hand insists that there are too many OTHER variables in our dynamic atmosphere to say that CO2 is the cause. The head of NASA just got a political smack down because he did not tow the party line. Gray, also states that we were likely at a peak in 05/06 and we would likely see a cooling trend over the next few years.

A survey: the perfect way to decide on the correct answer to any complicated factual question. What do you do when you want to know if you have cancer? Poll your friends!

The most recent answer of the world's leading experts on the question is that there is a 90% chance that "yes" is the correct answer.

Any opining that the letsrun crowd might engage in is irrelevant.

We've certainly contributed, but I agree that the increased temperatures have more to do with natural climate change than our factories and cars pumping carbon dioxide into the air.

Wow, yet another climate scientist who posts on letsrun! Thanks for your expert opinion!

I polled 10,000 random CO2 molecules as to their creation and 27% came from burned fossil fuels..

yes....

yes humans do cause global warming... like al gore for example cause hes the one who made it up. As for it actually existing......

Do you really think with all the crap we burn and put into the air we only change our planet less then 5%? You are living in a box my man.

The institutions that have the money want to keep it. This means investing in "alternative" fuels is a waste. In the long run it is smart, but lets not fool ourselves, we are Americans and want our money NOW! This means they want to maintain the structures they have already built until they are no longer able to be used. Have you heard the term slum lord? Same principle here.

We change our environment that is a fact. Am I going to stop driving to work to make money? No. My contribution: I used to drive all over to run the best trails. Now I run from home 5 of the 7 days a week...but that's mostly because I'm "retired" from competitive running.

Between making money, driving the nice car or saving the planet...99.99999% will f*ck the environment every time. The only time change will happen is if it endangers our way of life (as in cost $50 a gallon).

I might ride my bike to work then...
