sciencetists are people like you ...don't listen to them..if you got atruck fill up with petrol then drive free like I do
I personally believe it's a normal earth climate-cycle - lots of views here:
I believe that global warming is true, but not for the reasons that some people...coughalgorecough...think. it is a natural occurance, and we just have to adapt to it like the rest of the world. people are part of nature too -- we were not put here by something, or flew in from another planet, and we are just as much of a cause of global warming as anything else is.

I believe its true
I believe glomal warming is true!!
how is it not true if scientists have worked it out?
I personally think it is some superior being(from another galaxy) who has altered Earth to warm every so often to prevent another ice age...I know its probably not true and is science fictiony, but it is kinda cool if you think about it
I feel like the first person is right its a natural process of earth and within the next 10000 years we'll have another ice age
I dont think its true.
its a scam.
It's a natrural part of earth just like we went through the ice age expect now we are edmitting way to much carbon dixode in the atmosphere so in away we have started global warming or impacted the cycle of how the earth will be in 20 years
The earth does go through natural cycles of cold and warm. These can just be repeating patterns, or they can be triggered by catastrophic events like a meteor strike or major volcanic erruptions. What we see now, which has never been seen before, is the fact that a species on earth now has enough power to trigger one of these catastrophic events. That means us...
So, while some of what we see happening to the climate is part of natural cycles, we are now adding to the problem at a remarkable rate - the natural rate of change would be much slower and less dramatic.
Maybe you'd argue that it's not a problem. Try that on the inhabitants of Tuvalu - it's the first island in the Pacific which is actually beginning to go under water as the sea level rises. Others are going to go under too, but it's happening to the Tuvalans right now. Many of the younger people are leaving, but older people feel they have nowhere else to go and are just appealing to the world to pay attention and change their carbon emmissions now.
And if you're American and don't believe in global warming, I suggest you find out what the rest of the world is thinking - unfortunately, the US has become a bit isolated in its thinking on this. The rest of the world is much more aware of the problem and taking it more seriously.
Strangely enough this huge list of 'Opposers' is not restricted to ONLY Americans:

I believe it's true just because it's a scientific fact. It's hard to fight against what science has proven true, although I'm sure it's been done before. I do as hell hope that it's not true, though.
Ok...levels of CO2 are increasing every year, CO2 is a greenhouse gas which warms the atmosphere, hence Global warming is occurring at an accelerated rate. Sure the Earth has natural cycles of warming & cooling... BUT... never before in Earth's history have so much of our forests been decimated, and never before have we polluted as much as we do now. For those who think it's just a NATURAL cycle...think again!!! There is nothing NATURAL about the impact humans are having on this planet. It's a scam?? Oh please!!! I wish it was. If under-developed countries like India & China polluted at the same rate the US did, we would be in even bigger trouble...we need to set an example of what should be done, for too long the oil companies have had a strangle hold on the development of low emission cars or ZERO emission cars...unfortunately MONEY is power & too many politicians are linked to big business. It's 2008...WHERE IS ALL THE ELECTRIC & HYDROGEN MOTOR VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY??? ...in the hands of the people that make BILLIONS polluting the atmosphere, they want you to believe its all a scam...WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
I believe that it is true and that we are living in denial. I also believe that there is a tipping point coming in this century, a point in time after which it will be VERY difficult to counter the effects that have built up. I admit that I'm fatalistic about it in many ways. I think that in the very long run, the only thing that will preserve humanity is a diaspora from the planet.
Whoa, I must have had some dark dreams last night.
true or not
I think we should still try to preserve energy and try not to pollute as much
lts clean up earth a bit
Unfortunately, flossheal, the rest of the world is not in league on the issue of global warming. The environmental standards of most developing countries are horrid, and the CO2 levels of those countries are climbing rapidly. How can you get upset at us for not wanting to agree to a protocol that doesn't even include the world's biggest polluter (not us...it's China). Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan, also have policies similar to the US, as they have failed to stabilize their emissions. In fact, of all the industrialized nations, only Germany and the UK have significantly reduced their emissions. If I were you, I'd be more worried about Spain and Portugal to your south...together their emissions have risen almost 100% since 1990.
The truth is, there is opposition to Kyoto and the theory of global warming all over the world, including France (check out Claude Allegre, a physicist and former education minister). So enough of this 'America is ruining our world' crap that people keep throwing at us. Learn a few more facts before you get all preachy.
I do not believe its true... even though there are evidents to global warming... I think that rather then worry about global warming we should more so worry about the next ICE AGE. The earth has the power to adapt and change which is what Darwin believes in.
Fact: The Kyoto agreement is now superceeded by the Bali Agreement (Dec 2007).
America is not ruining our world. But if you look at the locations of those who say they believe in Global Warming, a lot of them are the minority of Fun Advisors who live outside the US. So I'm not blaming the US for global warming (check my comments above if you doubt me) but I am challenging individual Americans to check for themselves what the rest of the world believes. This question is about what we believe, not what we do.
Sorry - my answer above began in a rather bad tempered way. I apologise.
