Global warming is real right? I mean the green house effect is real but there is so much controversy about if its man made or not, and even if it is man made will it kill us all. I think that it is man made and it will kill us all, but i want your opinion.
Global Warming is mostly a natural process, we are just speeding it up a bit (or a lot). Most of the bad stuff you see in the media is actually just a big beat-up of what will/could happen.

Once again, there is absolutely no proof that man has left a big enough carbon footprint on this earth to "speed up" any process. In addition, the majority of climatologist and environmental scientist agree that the earth is now in a cooling period.
Please people, read the legitimate articles, better yet, get online and look up some valid science journals on current climate.
Yes, but the Peer Review Process, especially on work of such a large scale, generally tends to work
You're right. And you know what? The majority of scientists are AGAINST the idea that the planet is in danger from a global warming. You just only hear about the people wanting attention and crying global warming (No reference to Al Gore)

I can just as easily assert that a majority of climatologists and environmental scientists are for the idea that global warming is in fact a danger to mankind.
Wistress, I'm curious as to what type of work you did as an environmental scientist, and what organizations you have worked for, as well as whether or not your claim covers the scientists you have worked with, or whether you seek to speak for the entire global community.

All the required readings in my environmental science class this last quarter were from legitimate science journals, and while they are a rather small sample, all seemed to make the same claim: that global warming is happening, and that mankind is greatly contributing.
First of all global warming is fake writers just needed somthing to write about,and to make money. they proved it on the discovery channel. (yes i like the discovery channel)
and i forgot to say weather change is natural not man made one or two degrees wont kill us its natural sometimes we even get global cooling. not a big deal. (adds to above post)

Proof?
Scentific peer review processes gets rid of the biased extremes of the pro CC lobby (Al Gore etc) and the oil company anti CC lobby. The aggregate of scientific opinion is that CC is real and man made. It's only the extent of the effects which are up for debate in the unbiased scientific community.

I am not speaking for the global community; I am speaking from my own research and my colleagues research. In addition, I also read all data that has to do with climate. The people who believe that climate change is due to humans are the people that don't read the studies about solar variations (and more recently found, sunspots) being the cause of climate change. To quote one article, "Increased solar radiation coming from slight changes in the Earthâs rotation, not greenhouse-gas levels, were to blame."
As for my work, I research the effect of greenhouse gases on our atmosphere, in doing so I have to measure the effects of natural elements as well. I, of course, am not going to state my place of work on a public games forum; but I can tell you that I have worked for the government and for private companies as well.

Believe me, I believed the same thing when I was in college, due to the low amount of current data they provided us with. However it is fact that the earth has not become any warmer since 1997 (MITâs Richard Lindzen says that âthere has been no warming since 1997 and no statistically significant warming since 1995.â), unlike all the climate models I was shown in college which "forecasted" a much bleaker scenario then what actually has happened.
Let me state this, a climate is the average of the weather over 30 years, now we have had 8 Ice ages already, and the climate does this regardless of what we do, so Climate change is a natural phenomonon(did I spell it right?), the only thing we have done is sped up the 1000 year process be about, umm, 10 or 20 years.
If this is wrong, I have an excuse, I am only in grade 10 in canada, not to be offencive, but thats around grade 11 or 12 in america, anyway, Im not properly educated in this field, so there are some parts that are wrong and omitted

That is pretty true though, it has only pretty much sped up the natural process..

Physically impossible.
Not if that is my job, let me be more specific, I read the data that is valid and written in English.
People have to remember that Science is not about a majority rule. If everyone but 1 person says the earth is flat, which one would be correct?
Exactly. Just because anthropogenic "global warming" has been hyped up by the media, activist groups, and scientist working for certain departments and agendas of the government. It doesn't mean it's true. 450 million years ago CO2 levels were ten times above today's CO2 levels, at that time, we were within the coldest period the earth has had in half a billion years.
Don't get me wrong, I still believe in using clean renewable energy sources, but not at the cost of the economy of underdeveloped nations.
are you kidding? underdeveloped nations economies can be better controlled before they get too complex. the standard of living is relative. you don't know what your missing if your neighbor doesn't own more than you.
your position also doesn't allow the initiation of regulations in a developed nation, because all the producers will go to the underdeveloped nations who are deregulated, and thus, cheaper. so you must regulate everyone, especially INDIA, which is considered underdeveloped but with more people living in it than china, all of whom are demanding cars, computers, and air conditioning. so your point to save underdeveloped nations of their responsibility is very irresponsible.
