2012 was the hottest year on record in the continental U.S.. 99% of species that have lived on Earth are now extinct. Global sea level rose 17 centimeters in the last century. The 20 warmest years in recorded history have all occurred since 1981. The polar ice caps are melting at unprecedented levels. Between 150 and 200 species become extinct each day. There is much more evidence to support this. Global warming is not just someone's "own pretentious ass trying to commend yourself for being environmentally aware", with all due respect. Global warming activists are simply knowledgeable people who are trying to save our planet from certain destruction.

Okay so some people say that burning fossil fuels(which produces ozone) are the problem but ozone doesn't just keep heat in it also keeps heat out so in theory it should be a balanced system.

That is a possibility. However, most evidence indicates that it has been brought on by human activity, in particular, the excessive carbon released into the atmosphere through automobiles, industry, and other sources,as well as rampant deforestation, which destroys the one of the planet's largest carbon reservoirs, thus allowing previously unheard of amounts of CO2 to enter the atmosphere. In the likely event that global warming is caused by human activity, it's best to take preventative measures. If it's natural, then you're right - there's nothing we can do about it. But it makes a lot more sense to run on the assumption that it is man-made and potential save ourselves and our planet than to do nothing on the assumption that it is a natural cycle.

I'm sure humans caused the ice age, too. Oh wait, you mean that was a natural event of extreme climate change? OH WOW!

"There are at least 15 definitive studies by world renown scientists that proves man made global warming."

Erm... no.

No. No. No. No scientist has ever said that. No scientist will EVER SAY SOMETHING WAS PROVEN. All it takes is one experiment with different results to disprove a claim. They say "this supports this conclusion" or "there is evidence that this is true" but never a definitive.

I kinda worded the quote wrong.
"There are at least 15 deeply researched separate lines of evidence that all confirm man-made global warming."

Here, look at this.

Reddit as a fact source? And saying something is confirmed is still a definitive. A scientist didn't write that. And if he did, whoever was reporting on it wrote it wrong.

I'm gonna say the same thing to you that I said to the other guy. Unless you've dedicated your life to research, I have no reason to believe you over others who have.

I could find similar studies that say otherwise. We simply don't have a large enough timeline of study to come to ANY conclusions. There's no way we could come to any conclusions in 20 years.

I'd listen to you if you were a climatologist. But we're just average joe's who really don't know shit.

I'm just here listening to what Al Gore says. I support him.

I cereally think Al Gore is a nutjob.
