Changes

'''Global Warming''' is a phrase which commonly refers to a scientific theory and political proposals that would follow if the theory is accepted. The theory states that Earth's temperature and CO₂ levels are rising at a dangerous rate, and that humans are mainly to blame, because of fossil fuel use,  and need to take imediate action against this perceived threat.

'''Global Warming''' in politics is the theory that the earth's atmosphere is heating up at a dangerous rate, because of human activities such as [[greenhouse gas]] emissions from burning [[fossil fuels]]. Supporters usually feel that immediate (not to say drastic) action must be taken to reduce these omissions (see [[Kyoto Protocol]]). The theory enjoys wide support in goverment, but many climatologists and meteoroligist disagree. The United Nations' climate panel ([[UNIPCC]]) has assessed the theory and found that there is a "scientific consensus" in favor of it. Scientists [[Richard Lindzen]] and John Christy deny that such a consensus exists.  

The name is inaccurate, and should be '''Global Climate Change''', as the increasing amount of heat stored in the atmosphere has had disruptive effects leading to colder weather in some areas.
