As I look among the many, many pages of open discussions, I have noticed that many people have been talking about global warming. Do you believe in it, or do you think that it's a fiction invented by the liberal establishment??
I'm not trying to offend anybody, but I'm interested in all your thoughts on this topic.
Once again, Don't take offense to this. I'm just looking for opinions. I am in no way trying to offend anybody of any party.

I have my own theory on global warming and have had this theory in my head for quite a few years now. The earth in in a phase where the orbit around the sun is decreasing year by year by a small amount, which means that the earth is getting nearer and nearer to the sun. It's that simple and is proved by the fact that the ice caps in the polar regions are disapearing. Rain is caused by the sun warming up the oceans and the clouds formed then travelling and depositing large amounts of water on the land which causes severe flooding.

OK. But may I ask you, how do you explain the previous ice ages?

global warming is a sad, no, a fatal truth. its not just inconvenient. inconvenience is like having to line up or having to wait for that package to arrive. when its the planet's life thats on the line, its not merely an inconvenience but a threat to all our lives.
global warming can defeat donald trump, unless he can pioneer the first space colony.
global warming is also called greenhouse effect. greenhouse gasses trap the heat from sun and bounces it over and over to the earth's surface. think about you and me and the whole world in an oven. this bouncing or reradiation of heat causes skin cancer and polar ice cap melting among others. skin cancer because skin is not supposed to receive too much uv rays from the sun. if the polar ice caps melt, the water level will rise and some islands will be modern-day atlantis'.
what are greenhouse gases? 1) water vapor. too much heat evaporates too much water from the seas, lakes etc and turns them into water vapor which traps more heat. very vicous cycle. this is also the most abundant greenhouse gas. 2) carbon dioxide. this is a by product of burning. when we smoke, burn garbage, use coal, we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. plants use carbon dioxide but we have been releasing more carbon dioxide than the plants can use. not to mention we have been killing plants. 3)methane. this is a fuel also known as fart. no kidding. its a natural gas that is emitted by planting rice or raising cattle. 4) tropospheric ozone. i know i know the ozone layer is supposed to prevent global warming. there are two kinds of ozone though. the one up above, which we call ozone layer acts as the earth's umbrella and the one lower which is the bad guy acts as a sauna suit. air pollution causes ozone to be produced lower in the atmosphere, definitely not where its needed. 5) nitrous oxide. this comes from nitrogen based fertilizer. 6) chloroflourocarbons or cfc's. this is synthesized meaning nature had nothing to do with it. hairspay, airconditioning units, solvents all contain cfc's unless stated otherwise in their labels. these cfc's can go to the level of the good ozone and uv rays convert them into something that attacks the good ozone thus creating a hole in the ozone layer, 7) carbon monoxide and other gases that make haste the formation for tropospheric ozone. carbon monoxide is usually from car emissions.
the earth looks like a sunny-side up egg when seen from space. its a circle with too many greenhouse gasses surrounding it. its like a child in the midst of a burning building. and no one is paying real attention to its cries.

yeah,it is a thoughtful factor of late.we,the creations of earth sooner/later will no longer live here because of this terrible thing.you cant appropiately prevent it because there are so many things in different countries which are causing global warming.let us try to do our part(something to prevent it) and leave the rest to nature.

I just finished a Jhn Chrichton book about global warming which had a very thick bibliography to back up his work of fiction. I came away from the book sceptical about global warming as a phenomena. I think it is more of a climatic pattern and we are just seing things on a human rather than geological-geographical scale.

I believe that there is such thing as global warming and it is not in any way a fiction. Scientists are doing immense research about it and they have scientific facts to back their findings. So I believe global warming does exist.
