It appears that global warming is not a myth. The current average temperature of the earth is 65.75 oF . Not too bad a temperature. I'll take it. Nice golf and walking weather. Of course, icebergs don't like that temperature. I could not really tell you what that means for the earth in the far future. F5 tornadoes? More destructive hurricanes? Who knows. Global warming forecasts are based on computer models using the factors like temperature and air pressure among others. Talking about factors I read on Fox News web site that scientists are having a hard time defining what a cloud is. Cloud modeling is very important to weather forecasting. They reflect heat from the sun back out into the atmosphere among other things. If you redefine clouds you basically have to change your weather models. Weather is extremely complex. In the beginning of the week my local meteorologist was saying the weekend skies were going to be clear and sunny. By Wednesday now he is saying it is going to rain this weekend. If a forecaster cannot predict weather a week ahead of time then how can they predict it in the far future? I am not going to be worried unless the temperature in let's say December is 80 oF for several years in a row or until my local meteorologist gets worried.
The controversy now is what is causing global warming. Is it mankind (and womankind) or is it something else? I don't know but I believe it could be caused by that hot big object in the sky called the sun. You turn that thing off global warming goes away. Then again people breathe out CO2 and it is CO2 that contributes to global warming. I calculated that a person exhales 141,912,000 cubic inches of CO2 a year. Currently, there is 6.5 billion of people on the earth. The reader can do the math. I have a solution. Have everyone hold their breath for approximately 1.5 minutes every day. Also, everyone should take anti-gas tablets because flatulence contributes to global warming too. Also, people need to pollute more. Pollution evidently slows down global warming.
CO2 build up and global warming is not all bad. CO2 helps some trees during an ice storm. Global warming could be good for the wine companies in Britain and Germany. Also, global warming helps alpine tourism. Go figure.

Global Warming is happening, but it has been shown that Earth goes through phases and it is very likely that we are just going through another warming phase. Humans might be helping but not to the point that it has been exaggerated to.
