The '''global warming''' theory is the [[liberal]] hoax<ref>Multiple references:

'''Anthropogenic global warming''' (AGW) is the theory that human activity is causing the Earth to warm. The theory posits that greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor, trap solar warmth on the planet.<ref>Multiple references:

Global temperatures are tracked by three different methods: satellites, weather balloons, and weather station data. All three methods confirm a modest amount of warming in recent decades.<ref>[http://www.euanmearns.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ratpac850to300V.png Here] is a graph of the RATPAC radiosonde data. It shows 0.8 °C of warming between 1978 to 2014.</ref> Climatic change of this kind has occurred repeatedly in human history. It can be explained by the interaction of several natural cycles, including the 11-year-sunspot cycle, the Pacific decadal oscillation, and the El Nino cycle. Although the recent warming trend is much discussed in the media, it is not what the AGW theory is about. AGW posits, based on computer modelling, that a period of rapid warming is imminent.<ref>Bailey, Ronald (December 26, 2012).  [http://reason.com/blog/2012/12/26/34-years-of-satellite-temperature-data-s "34 years of satellite temperature data show global warming is on a plateau"].  Hit & Run Blog/Reason.com.  Retrieved on September 25, 2014.</ref><ref>Cole, Steve and McCarthy, Leslie (January 12, 2011).  [http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2010-warmest-year.html "NASA research finds 2010 tied for warmest year on record"].  NASA website.  Retrieved on September 25, 2014.</ref><ref>Tisdale, Bob (August 10, 2012).  [http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/08/10/not-hot-ocean-sst-around-the-usa-not-anywhere-near-record-levels/ "Not so hot—ocean temperatures around the USA are not anywhere near record levels"].  Watts Up with That?  Retrieved on September 25, 2014.</ref>

Many political activists use the term "global warming" to refer to [[anthropogenic global warming theory]] (AGW), which asserts that human activity such as spewing "[[greenhouse gases]]" is causing an increase in temperature and is more significant than natural causes. The AGW theory is supported by left-leaning political parties, as well as a majority of sovereign states, national agencies, and an intergovernmental panel (see [[IPCC]]). The reality is that there is no immediate global crisis, and even dire warnings by the UN's [[Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change]] (IPCC) admit that significant effects will not be manifested for at least 100 years. Predictions made by [[climate model]]s publicized by the IPCC have not come to pass in recent years. Many scientists, such as Hal Lewis, have decried global warming as a conspiracy for the purpose of securing trillions of dollars in grant money.
