Global warming, what is also referred to as climate change, is a natural phenomenon that is neither preventable nor a threat to our existence as the global warming alarmists would like for you to believe. On the contrary, what is far more dangerous to our existence are the measures and efforts that are being suggested to stop a threat that is hypothetical at best. Looking at it from another standpoint, God created the heavens and the earth and all of us. And it is God that has absolute control over everything. If there is a danger from global warming then we would be wise to seek God's mercy and forgiveness for our shortcomings and trust him to heal the environment rather than foolishly believe that we can ultimately control the elements. Check out these websites. They'll give you the facts about "global warming." http://www.ourcivilisation.com/aginatur.moregw.htm http://www.co2science.org/index.php http://www.worldclimatereport.com/ http://pmcms.smartgreenusa.com/

"Global warming" refers to the increase of the Earth's average surface temperature, due to a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape into the air and that these gases are causing most of the warming. Another cause is deforestation (cutting down trees). Trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air. There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. It’s already too late to stop global warming completely. If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that become extinct (disappear completely) because they can’t move to new homes. There may be more storms and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming. I hope that helps you a little x

Well, i think the meaning is in the word itself. Because of the heat that traps inside the earth the ice in north and south pole melt down, resulting to high tides. Because of that, lower elevated land countries such as kiribati, is now sinking and prone to be erase in the map. . Moreover, the change in climate is also the effect of global warming, right now if you could notice. .its more colder and warmer than before.
