If you are still questioning whether global warming is really happening, you are standing alone.

If you think it might be a good thing for some people, read this post:

A Good Side to Global Warming?

If you think warming on Mars "proves" that the warming on earth is caused by changes in the Sun or anything but human activity, read this:

Extraterrestrial Global Warming

Finally, don't confuse weather with climate. If you think we're experiencing a short term blip, read this:

Brrr… this is global warming?

Global warming may well negatively affect some people but it will also positively affect many people. I would love a longer growing season. I wouldn't mind the winters being a bit less harsh. From my personal perspective global warming is good. The reality is that our planet has gone many cycles of warmer and cooler periods than it is now. The plants and animals adapt. Perhaps people won't but I bet they will. Some species will die off. Some will evolve. Some will thrive. That's the natural order of things and we are a part of that. There is the whole question of is global warming really happening, is it caused by people or is it caused by a warming cycle in the sun (Mars is also undergoing global warming - don't blame humans for that), is this just a temporary blip (I've seen warmer years around here), would we be going into an ice age as they used to predict if it weren't for the global warming, etc. It is all rather complex. On the CO2 reducing the nutrients, I read that article and I am very dubious of it. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. All that said, I'm all for reducing pollution. That is a separate issue and it is unfortunate that people confuse the two. Time will tell. Adapt.
