This winter, it seems colder than before.
Isn't the Earth getting colder?

These forums are remarkably devoid of hot Anthropogenic Global Warming debate. Or did I miss something?

I found it interesting that, any global warming topic that was brought up for discussion usually ended (rather quickly) with a lot of mud-slinging and name-calling by the opponents of GW. "Another conspiracy theory..." or "alarmists..." Blah, blah... I decided I'd be better served by looking elsewhere for intelligent discussion on this subject.
Global warming refers to the gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature due to the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping into space, leading to a warming effect on the Earth's surface.
The primary cause of global warming is human activities, specifically the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and warming the planet.
Global warming has a wide range of effects on the environment, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe natural disasters, changes in weather patterns, and the extinction of certain species. It also has significant impacts on human health, agriculture, and economies around the world.
While we cannot completely stop global warming, we can slow it down by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to cleaner, renewable energy sources. It is also important to take steps to adapt to the effects of global warming, such as implementing sustainable practices and building resilient infrastructure.
Individuals can help combat global warming by reducing their carbon footprint through actions such as using public transportation, conserving energy at home, and eating a plant-based diet. Additionally, individuals can support policies and initiatives that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change on a larger scale.
