Scientific Proof of Global Warming
Despite any confusion that you might be facing, the facts on global warming are not up for debate.
It is true that there are some natural causes of global warming. However, there is no doubt amongst the world’s leading experts that the current dangerous warming trend is primarily caused by humans.

Proof From the Experts
Human activities are most likely causing global warming according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. The results of this report are significant since the IPCC is the leading group of scientist that evaluate climate change-related research.
There’s no reason for you to doubt the scientists. There are some people who will attempt to confuse you by claiming that the idea that humans cause climate change is “just a theory” and therefore shouldn’t be taken seriously. But this is a dangerous misrepresentation of how scientists use the word ‘theory’. (If you are interested, you can quickly learn how to stop the spread of this kind of misinformation using these innovative tactics).
The evidence is overwhelming in its support of the theory that humans cause climate change. The most important piece of evidence for you to understand is the direct correlation between the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and global average temperatures. As carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased, so has the average temperature on Earth. In fact, many of the activities you do every day contribute to this problem.
You need to understand
the basics of scientific theories
You’re probably used to using the word ‘theory’ to indicate that you are uncertain about something. When scientists use the word ‘theory’, they mean it in a different way than you are probably used to using it in casual conversation.
Scientific theories are like facts. Scientific theories are well-tested and generally believed to be true by the scientific community. You don’t doubt the scientific ‘theory’ of gravity because the evidence so overwhelmingly supports it, and popular culture has come to accept it as a fact. However, scientists wouldn’t consider gravity’s existence a fact because they always leave open the possibility that new evidence will lead to a new theory.
Global warming is as accepted as gravity in the sense that human-caused global warming has been researched extensively and almost all scientists believe it is happening.
Are Catastrophic Effects
Around the Corner?
There are many dangerous effects from global warming that have the potential to cause the extinction of humanity. Fortunately, there is still time to reduce these effects, but you must take action.
You should start by making sure that everyone has access to good information. That is why it is critically important that you learn to share this proof before it’s too late.

Al Gore is right. Have any of you seen the movie “Inconvenient Truth?” Probably not.
just look AT VENUS!!!!
IT’s hotter THEN MERCURY!!
THE MAIN RASON WHY IT”S SO HOT IS BECAUSE OF IT’s Atmosphere.
co2 cause global warming
This is ridiculous. God’s said in His Word that the world will end when Jesus Christ comes back and not before. I cannot believe that God who made, formed and created man to breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide would want the world to end before its time. If scientist would just corroborate what the Word of God says you wouldn’t have all these ridiculous guesses which is what a “theory” is. I wonder what their theory will be when they stand before the judgment seat of God Almighty. No theories then cause the judgment of God is just
I am a member of the “choir” that believes that we humans “are” big contributors to global warming and we better stop now or very very soon.
Problem is, many others don’t want to believe it because they enjoy what they do and are too lazy and selfish to do otherwise, even a the perile to their children and grandchildren.
I try to convence relatives and friends but they typically say some scientist are not convienced that human activity contributes very much to the globnal warmning problem and that it is a natural situation beyound our control. This is like smokers and alcoholics that are in denial and are hooked.
Having a list of the percentage of scientist that agree or disagree on the human to global warming debate would help us in the “choir” to back up our claim that humans are causing global warming and need to stop and how soon. I know there are many (30, 50, 75, 99%???)scientist who know the truth is, but a comprhensive list would give us sorely needed ammo to make our case as solid as possible.
Does this list exist and if not, could one be made?
Thanks for your work and help, and best of luck to all of us who care and future generations.
On this page I see:
“It is true that there are some natural causes of global warming. However, there is no doubt amongst the world’s leading experts that the current dangerous warming trend is primarily caused by humans.”
And then I see:
“Human activities are most likely causing global warming according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report.”
“is primarily” and “most likely” are opposing statements which means:
We do not know. So, how can any government base sound policy on inconclusive science?
In addition, is there any scientific data, not emotional or images, that directly correlates “climate change” to “human activities”? There is none.
Cimate change always occurs. To blame it on the human race and to ignore nuclear power reeks of politics, i.e., I’d rather worry about nuclear waste that get incinerated by too much solar energy.
Look up the scientific community’s view on the relationship between correlation and causation. The two concepts are not interchangeable. The only instance where correlation=causation is when appropriate controls of other confounding variables are taken into account. When you can find a study that rules out these variables as causes of global warming then I will say you have given me proof of global warming.
I guess I have a comment or a question. What exactly is the theory? It sounds like the theory states that with more carbon dioxide in the air the warmer the temperature becomes. Ok, if that is true then why did the temperature drop last year. I find it hard to believe that we have put less carbons in the air especially since population continues to increase. I don’t want to be ignorant but the facts of global warming are just not making sense. Is it that the communications are not very good right now? I keep trying to read about it and I just can’t seem to find anything that actually makes sense…scientifically.
We just want the facts! Proof! So far not one shred have I seen from any source. When you have actual facts please let me know. 1 degree in ocean water does not make a fact! Temps fluctuate and are normal.
Of course we should recycle and keep air clean. But I see more products made in the course of so called global warming and not improvement. Stop pollution and government corruption that’s all we ask.
I’m a scientist, and I’m not convinced. I need to see the actual data analysis, not what you’re writing here. In fact, I’m disappointed in this site because the above article sounds more like a chain letter, effectively saying, don’t doubt us, and make sure you quash any independent thought by your friends “before it’s too late.”
