Global Warming Evidence - Natural or Man-Made?

Many have denied that global warming is a real threat to our atmosphere. Scientifically sound global warming evidence appears to prove otherwise. Around the world, temperatures are the highest they've ever been on record, glaciers in arctic regions are rapidly melting, and disease-spreading insects such as mosquitoes are thriving due to the warmer temperatures.
Global warming is believed by many to be at least partly caused by the release of methane and carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. They also result from the cars we drive, which is why there are many efforts by environmental groups to convert our cars to run on alternative fuel sources. In direct relation, the deforestation that is taking place worldwide is hindering the absorbtion of carbon dioxide and as a result, it continues to build up.
Glaciers have been experiencing rapid melting due to increased temperatures. Low-lying areas are succumbing to rising waters levels, while other areas are at risk of eventually becoming underwater.
Another threat to the world is the spreading of disease that is beginning to increase. Global warming evidence is showing that mosquitoes, insects known to carry many diseases, are experiencing much longer breeding seasons. Unpredictable atmospheric events, like hurricanes, create large amounts of stagnant water, which are ideal conditions for breeding mosquitoes and other insects. Malaria is the biggest concern because mosquitoes are known to carry this disease and can easily spread it to humans. The West Nile Virus is another major concern, especially in areas that have seen an increasingly larger mosquito population.
The average person can see that the global warming evidence around the world is quite solid. Some of us are living in areas that are experiencing changes such as: warmer average temperatures, a prolonged warm season, a heat wave, threat of tropical storms or hurricanes, or the threat of flood due to melting glaciers. Although existing global warming evidence may not currently be a threat to some people, it should be considered that most scientists consider these conditions to worsen unless serious preventative measures are taken.
Is Global Warming a serious cause for concern, or is it simply overrated and overhyped? Learn more about this controversial topic and decide for yourself at http://www.globalwarmingdata.com/
