Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming (global climate destruction caused by human emissions of greenhouse gasses). Many people consider that Global Warming is the greatest environmental threat of the 21. st. Century. . However, during the 80s and early 90s scientists argued about the causes and effects of global warming. . What are the threats?. What are the facts?. What is best to do?. Objectives. Examine in a thorough, yet understandable way, the theory of man made global warming. Analyze its plausibility. Review other factors, besides CO2, that may also impact the climate.. Ned Bair .

Global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth's climate. . .

Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C during the 100 years ending in 2005.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in greenhouse gas concentrations"via an enhanced greenhouse effect. .
