Reasons To Disagree
The argument for global warming is based on data collected over the past 150 years, I wonder how accurate the gauges used in the past were. I'm not saying there is definatly no global warming I'm just not convinced there is any evidence yet.
Irregardless of the evidence (or lack thereof) for global warming, there is no reason to base any opinion of climate change on comparisions of the weather to childhood memories.
Non Sequiter
Based on this question, no
Strongly disagree... because the premises for the conclusion are nonsensical. I believe there is global warming, but my memories from an idealised childhood, where EVERYONE will remember endless stunning sunny days with not a care in the world, vs. summers as grownups, what with those dirty jobs and everything keeping us from the sun, are irrelevant.
Sorry but personal anecdotes cannot and should not be the basis for a decision on this issue. Scientific measurement can provide us with much more reliable data which is not subject to the vagaries of memory.
The changing weather cycle has been going on for hundreds of years. The ice age began from the exact same effects but man hadn't created factories or cfcs before that. We may have slight guilt but it is a natural occurance
Reality changes in one's memories. Of course there is a climate change issue. This question is extremely poorly worded.
Perceptions change with adulthood.
each year the earth gets closer to da sun... but that wouldn't change temperature now would it???
Haha, no. Carbon dioxide emissions have an affect on how much heat is retained by the atmosphere, thats a fact, but the planet goes through cycles of heating and cooling, and our own contribution is minimal. At least for now.
Go down to Franz Josef! Some years ago it was,"Panic! PANIC! The glacier is advancing." (I believe it's actually advancing again now.) The human impact on the climate is relatively quite minor and there is no way we can "put it right" even if it was significant. (Kioto's just another means of the left extracting money for its own purposes and would do nothing whatever to make any difference.)
The weather varies - always has - always will - it is mainly due to variations in solar activity - we have virtually no effect.

Reasons To Agree
There is irrefutable scientific evidence of warmer tempatures. What is causing them is in dispute.
300 years ago the Thames froze over for the last time during the last mini-ice age, so the climate has been warming for the last 300 years ago. No-one is sure when it will stop, so Global Warming is an issue for us.
However, when the cause is known (my bets on the Sun) we can then plan how best to deal with it.
Of course that suggests global warming but it does not specify the causes.
There has always been tempature fluctuations i.e. 18 ice ages, I think the question is what impact are we having on the speed of changes.
yes winters aren't as cold as when i was a child but , some warmer places in the world have become colder !!
I don't think my memories of childhood are reliable enough to persuade me about global warming, but there is enough good scientific evidence that is very persuasive.
Global Warming is real and effecting our earth
