definition of global warming
is there a definition of global warming and does the definition include man made co2? I've seen lots in the news about global warming and the same old stuff that it's nothing new because the earth has always had the temperature going up and down. should we be calling the current warming global warming, or is there another name for the wamring that includes co2 from burning fossil fuels?

The Earth's temperature is constantly changing, getting warmer or cooler, due to natural reasons but perhaps the present use of the term describes the unnatural warming due to fuel use by people.  |

Yes, we should really be talking about 'accelerated global warming' - the atmosphere is warming faster than it would naturally and we and the wildlife don't have time to adapt to it.  |
