IS this evidence of Global Warming?

[LiGHT]

(July 2) -- Amanda Byrd's iconic photo of two polar bears perched atop a fragile-looking ice formation off Alaska is back in the news as the global warming debate flares up.
Former Vice President Al Gore and other environmentalists have used the image as a symbol of climate change's threat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYmQsMqCul8 is one example. Those on the other side have also pointed to the "stranded polar bears" picture, arguing that it's been taken out of context.
A meeting of polar bear experts in Copenhagen this week put renewed focus on the message of the photo.

there is no need for more evidence, global warming has been here for ages

This photo isn't proof and it wasn't meant as proof.

ya idc for that vid... i really dont believe in global warming either .. well i kinda do but ya i dont believe that us humans are causing it the earth just goest though natural cycles

[Silverfist64]

I believe global warming is naturally occuring....i mean seriously...the earth has gone through several ice ages and planetary droughts. Not to mention, ive seen An Inconvienant Truth and it shouldnt be mandatory. America is about having your own beliefs and making school children watch and "learn from" the movie is pushing ideas not of their own upon them. Plus the movie just sucks.

Global warming is natural but we are catalysing it.

[ThatDude93]

I agree with Sapphire

[Antares]

Global warming is natural but we are catalysing it.

Agreed.

But this pic was sad.

I think it kinda sums up one part of global warming.

Extinction.

Well, there's no denial that the earth at least has been warming for the past few decades. However, there is growing skepticism that humans have much to do with it. For instance, many people will be surprised to find that the average global temperature has actually fallen 9 of the past 11 years. Considering the methods that current scientists are using to project global warming, namely the accelerating accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, this cooling trend should not be happening.

Global warming is a problem, yes, however it is not yet one that anyone completely understands.

Well, the highest temperatures recorded have occured in the last like 16 years if I remember correctly. We're definitely doing our part in global warming. And they have found drowned polar bears from not being able to find sturdy surfaces.
