    Well, I will start off my answer by saying that I do, in fact, "believe" in Global Warming. I do not know where to start, so I will start with some facts.
    1. In the last 900 (and change) articles written by qualified scientists, 0% disagreed with global warming, and 0% disagreed with human caused global warming.
    2. Global Warming is cause by the atmosphere becoming thicker. As humans emit CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) into the atmosphere, it thickens. Because of this, more heat gets trapped into the atmosphere, thus making it hotter.

    More on the CO2 effects on the heat of the Earth:
    The sun emits radiation and the Earth absorbs some. Then, the earth reflects some of the radiation into Outer Space. The problem is that because of CO2, more of the radiation cannot leave the Earth. This means that more heat stays inside the Earth

    We do also know that humans are causing global warming. In the last 650Million years, the CO2 parts per million has NEVER been above 300. This includes ice ages and the intervals of time between them. Today, with our industrialized nations spitting out CO2 by the ton, we have a lot more than 300. To be exact, we have about 382 CO2 parts per million

    We can know this because of research. Scientists study ice that has been around for a long time (let's say, Antarctica). The ice traps air bubbles, and from that, we can know accurate measures from far back.

    For those of you who are disbelieving that CO2 causes global warming, take this fact. Within the last 650Million years, the CO2 levels have ALWAYS been codjacent with the rise and fall in temperatures. And, just pointing out the obvious, 650Million years is quite a large sample size.

    Global Warming is quite a scary happening to our World, and we must, as a society of humans, take action against it. The temperatures could get drastically higher, and many scientists believe that in the next ten years, the damage can become irreversible.

    • Wait, quick comment here:

      You said that when carbon dioxide is emitted, the atmosphere gets thicker. To the best of my knowledge, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has gone up roughly 100 parts per million since we started generating CO2. That would be an increase in the atmospheric thickness of about .01%. Forgive me if I do not feel the need to panic quite yet.

      As a quick side note, I don't feel that you have the accuracy to determine cause and effect in a 650 million year sample. Did the CO2 cause the warming, or did the Earth warm and release trapped CO2 in the process?
