'''Global warming''', scientifically speaking, is a worldwide increase in atmospheric temperature. Such increases have alternated with periods of global cooling throughout geological history in regular, natural cycles. Many political activists use the term '''"global warming"''' to refer the anthropogenic global warming theory (AGW), which asserts that human activity such as spewing "[[greenhouse gases]]" is causing more temperature increase than all natural causes combined.

Fortunately, there is no global crisis despite dire warning by the UN's [[International Panel on Climate Change]] (IPCC). Predictions made by [[climate model]]s publicized by the IPCC have not come to pass, and the climate has shown a mild cooling over the last 15 years.

In November 2009, emails were stolen that demonstrated wrongful manipulation and concealment of data by scientists who have insisted that there is dangerous man-made global warming.
