Global warming exists.

*****REBUTTALS***** "Signs that the Earth is warming are recorded all over the globe. The easiest way to see increasing temperatures is through the thermometer records kept over the past century and a half. Around the world, the Earth's average temperature has risen more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the last century, and about twice that in parts of the Arctic.This doesn't mean that temperatures haven't fluctuated among regions of the globe or between seasons and times of day. But if you average out the temperature all over the world over the course of a year, you see that temperatures have been creeping upward." First off, ma'am, your source is just an article. It does not present any real statistics, or give any scientific measure on how global warming is real. While I have provided sources that explain in vast detail, and have the numbers to dis-prove global warming. I have even posted stats showing that Global cooling is actually happening."Scientists say global warming is real.Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that most of it is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels. These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all major industrialized nations."You still have yet to prove how this is a phenomena. You must prove to me how this is an actual super-ficial occurrence, that has not happened in the past. You must also find a source and evidence to prove this, which you have not done, thus your claim is baseless and false."I went onto this website(the one you gave to me) and I found this:http://climvis.ncdc.noaa.gov......The trend(temperature) is going up."Look at the lines closely this time. The straight line sets the average temperature as un changed. Also notice how drastic the lows become. This is proof that global warming is not occurring. "There is an error in this image... If this year, 2012, is not even over yet how can it be on the graph? Another error with this argument is that we are not debating snow but we are debating temperature. This has no point to even argue about.This shows that the temperature is rising. Also it came off of the website that just said it was decreasing. This website has false information because of this. "First of scientist can predict whether patters for the following months easily, based on results. Your claim that we can't do this just seems absurd.Also snow plays a huge part in temperature. If there is more snow fall, how is global warming occurring? ****MY CASE**** Now this is the easy part. Contention 1: Global Cooling.This point is dropped. My opponent has not been able to show proof that global cooling is not occurring, and has not posted any evidence to global warming actually occurring. Please extend. Contention 2: "Global Warming" Has happened before.My opponent has also not been able to prove or dis-prove that "Global warming" is not a common occurrence. By his terms, and by mine own, we see that global warming is supposed to be a significant event. My opponent has yet to prove how this is currently not another earth cycle. He has not even attempted to respond to this argument anyways, so Please Extend.****CONCLUSION****My opponent has hopelessly dropped my entire case, and fails to provide actual sourced evidence (other than articles) for any of his claims. This proves that global warming doesn't actually exist, and is instead a theory and a concept, thought up by scientists, which has yet to be fully proved.Please vote CON.Thankyou.
