Fact or Fiction: Both.

The world is warming up. However, it may be because of industrializing nations in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America, not necessarily the lone fault of the United States or other world powers.

Additionally, if it isn't because of that factor, then we can assume that the temperature of the sun is increasing.

1) People say that glaciers are melting. Is that fact? Maybe.

My stance:

2) Riddle me this, if global warming is truly existent, then why was it snowing in Houston, Texas last week? If anything, the world is getting colder.

1) Glaciers are melting.  This is a fact.  There is tons of documented evidence on it.

2) Simply because it snows in warm places has nothing to do with an overall trend.  You are mistaking slight deviations in an overall trend from major deviations which would disprove an overall trend.

Its like saying if the Wii sells poorly for one week that the Wii is selling badly.  Its simply untrue and ignores the surrounding evidence.

 

It was also snowing in Michigan last April. We typically stop getting snow in February.
