[QUOTE=Hlleonard;508576]Is global warming real?.........yes
Can we stop it?...................no
Do we add to the problem?...yes
The worst contributor to global warming is likely mother nature as Mr. Fisher said... I don't know how anybody that has been an adult for 40 or 50 years can deny that we contribute to the problem, we use to see smog alert, blue haze that you could actually see in this part of the country, we don't see much of that anymore so we must have made changes to our way of doing business somewhere and it seems to have made a difference... I don't know how much money we should spend on the problem but the money we have spent has given us some return it seems.[/QUOTE]
Is it real? I'm not convinced it is. I think it's cyclic and a convenient truth for people to get what they want.

I believe that is correct but I don't think we can deny the climate is warmer than in the past, when we see the ice not where it use to be and we see ocean levels above where they use to be but it is unlikely we can do much about it... I do believe as I said, our atmosphere is better than it was 50 or 60 years ago due to government regulations requiring our cars to be cleaner and other things such as some chemicals we don't produce anymore due to them being harmful to us and the things around us.

I think it's real, and it's a combination of an upturn in the natural cycle and human activity that is causing it. What I really question are the future predictions of how bad it's going to get. Those range from wildly exaggerated (Al Gore) to overly dismissive (your average Republican), and my belief is the truth is somewhere in between, I just have no way of determining where.
