Is it true that global warming is happening ? Does that mean this summer is going to be hotter or colder??????

Yes, but there will be just a couple of degrees difference. You may not be able to tell the difference but a couple of degrees means that the polar ice caps and glaciers are melting which will cause severe problems for the world.Is it true that global warming is happening ? Does that mean this summer is going to be hotter or colder??????
Some of the answers you got from know-nothings is positively frightening. If we don't do something about global warming, the world will be damaged beyond repair.

Is it true that global warming is happening ? Does that mean this summer is going to be hotter or colder??????
Yes, various animals and insects are moving further north to cooler climates...They are more sensitive to climate changes that we apes are....I say apes because of some ofthe totally dumb answers you got and will get.
Right now it has been one of the coldest winters ever and u believe that global warming is happening. There data is not there.
This is science. Opinions don't prove anything. ';logical'; arguments don't prove anything. The data is what's important and the scientific data says global warming is happening and it's mostly caused by us.





Very short version:

The best summary of the data available:

Scientists have seen much stranger things than global warming (like Einstein's relativity or quantum mechanics) proved to be true by data. So the data, not ';logical'; arguments, is what they go by. The data is why why the vast majority of scientists agree that it's real and mostly caused by us. Data about that here:

If you want to know more, here's the best website (warning - it's very big) with lots of data:

';climate science from climate scientists';





You can't predict short term weather like you can predict long term climate. Look at the first graph. The trend upwards is clear, but things jump around year to year. While summers in the past ten years have included the warmest in recorded history (1998 and 2005) this summers weather could be anything.
when ';they'; speak of Global Warming it is in the terms of .03 degrees per year....in 192? it went up .05...........tempertures change. Look what happened to the dinosaur
My tomato plants in memphis Tn. are all dead from the cold we just had, so are all the peach blossoms. So you tell me.
Global warming and cooling are normal cycles for the Earth. This stuff happens. And has been for eons. And before you listen to the ';four letter word'; rants by idiots like Dirty Sanchez ask him where the human colony is on Mars because Mars is warming also.





All of mans transportation needs produce less than 4% of the green house gasses. Range animals more than 18% and you don't want to hear about volcanos.





Some people have been taught what to think and have no idea how to think. And anyone who listens to the inventor of the Internet for anything scientific is far beyond help by anyone really using science.
global warming mans unusual and exstreme weather ,could be colder or hotter,heavier downpours but less frequently, ,more storms ,huricanes ,tsunamis.





where i am we are having Earth quackes ,that have never started here before ,near Acapulco ,and very strongs ones ,we had about 10 in the last 2 days ,4 of them 7 on the righter scale ,they only last a couple of secconds ,
global warming is bullshit,if you look at the temp.records over the last 70 or 80 years its only 2 or 3 degrees higher now than it was back then.
hotter
Yes, it happens every few decades, and is not caused by man. The temperature rises about a degree/100 years.
Oh My GOD I am sooooo sick of you pcs. of **** saying Humans have nothing to do with Global Warming...!!!!!





Wake the **** up!!! Global Warming IS REAL and YES assholes we ARE the cause of it!!!!





Sorry about that just had to address the **** bags that also asnswered this question. But anyways it depends on where you live.
It has been cooling since 1998. That is why they are calling it now climate change. If the evidence does not fit the hypothesis, change the hypothesis. Why do some people take the word of environmentalists are gospel, without questioning it is beyond me.
Yes, it is happening. Summers on average are getting hotter. But this is an average of many years. One year could be slightly cooler, but if it happens, it will maybe cooler by 0.2-1.5F max.
I remember watching the news in 1998 during those Florida everglades fires. Al Gore went there for a photo-op. With the fires in the background, he screamed into the camera, ';It's Global Warming!';





He's been a scam artist for a long time.
summer will be hotter, but most of the temperature changes will be during the night and winter.
