I live in Georgia and the most simplest minded people who live here know that everyday it seems to be getting hotter and hotter. This past winter we didnt even have a winter it was probably one of the warmest winters to date.

I think (with some support)....
Ocean circulation is very important and affects climate greatly.
CO2 amplifies any solar changes.
CO2 levels are higher, not so much due to emissions, as to our degradation of the planet's natural systems that absorb CO2.
Soot is also a major problem (causing melting of the glaciers and polar ices).
Desertification is another major aspect of human induced climate change (ongoing for thousands of years now).
Appreciate every year that we have the remnants of our old climate. Soon you'll be able to say, "I remember when...."

Fact, it will happen. But we can change it.

You're getting ahead of yourself there. Global warming/cooling has been happening for the 4.5 billion years of Earth's existence, and not once has there been a major change from one climate to another during the time of a human lifespan.

Although most people consider it fact, most meteorologists do not. There have been warm periods before the industrial age. Even as recently as the 1930s. There has been warmer times and colder times in the middle ages. The weather is just to variable to call global warming a proven fact. Did you know that solar storms can change the heat output of the sun? This could have a much larger warming effect than anything humans can do. In recent years solar storms have increased the suns heat output. And it will likely decline again. No one can know for sure.

No, volcanic activities emit a substantial amount of CO2. Humans are not the leading cause, but obviously, if they keep increasing the amount of CO2 emission, this is going to be a problem at some point. Simple math.

Global warming:fact or fictrion -on a background of changing parameters Ms there was break Ms and divergence of Continents, have proceeded 10 cycles of III natural phenomenon, DM- prove , that further change thickness Ms (firm cork of planet) was the reason, that processes of this phenomenon temporarily have stopped; as thickness Ms varies for given time -this question is solved elementary: deep sensing elements of temperatures on Continents; but the status the Dynamic model meanwhile is not solved, and consequently discussion on this question proceed from year to year

Re: global warming: fact or fiction?
The world is getting hotter but what's the cause? Can humans really have such a big impact? I haven't really read anything about it, all I hear is what I'm told so I don't know what to believe and I think this is true for most people.

Re: global warming: fact or fiction?
As terrible as it is, I ca never get myself to care enough to go really research the facts. I feel like this subject would take me years of study to get a grip on. And ... I ... just can't get myself to do it.

Re: global warming: fact or fiction?
Climate change is a fact, but climate worming… we will have to wait and see, because nobody really knows. All the scientific talk is just speculation, because there is not enough data.
