      Yes. The evidence is very strong that the planet is warming up, and that it a man made problem. The Earth has seen warmer periods before, but it the rate of change that is unusual now. But remember, it is “global” warming. That means the average global temperature is going up. Thate doesn’t mean that everywhere on the planet is getting warmer by the same amount. Thinking of it as climate change rather than global warming is pribably better.

      The difficult thing about global warming is that it is really complicated, and some places might even get colder because of it. This is why some people can still try to argue that it is wrong. In fact, almost anyone who has done any research on it has decided that it is true, it only tends to be people who could lose money (companies) or popularity (politicians) who keep saying it isn’t. If everyone was listened to equally then there would be no debate because there is so much evidence, but unfortunately people tend to listen to rich or powerful people more than “normal” people, or even the scientists who did the research.

      All the evidence suggests that it is true.
