      I think it is real but many companies will try and make money out of it – isn’t this called entrepreneurism though!

      Global warming is definitely real. To my knowledge the evidence has been independently verified many times. It is my understanding that it’s through a combination of man made and natural phenomena. The man made component forms a large part of what we are encountering. The push to provide renewable energy will benefit some companies, but there is nothing wrong with that. I would like us to stop being dependent on fossil fuels, as it would prevent other countries holding us to ransom. I do not think it’s a scam.

      I think that the tempertaure of the earth is definitely getting warmer, and that the influence of man is likely to be playing a big role. I don’t think it is really a scam from companies…. if a scam is being pulled, it is more likely the oil companies trying to convince everyone that global warming isn’t real so they can continue to make bumper profits!

      This is abig debate. my own belief is that we have contributed to global warming to a degree but I am not sure the situation is as grave as some people make it to be. Certainly the scientific data are weak and in some cases contradicting. But it is always good to love and protect our environment as much as possible.
