You know, I am curious. I saw that piece of trash the other day, Inconvenient truth, and I had to wonder: why do people believe this crap.
Between 1940 and and the 1970's there was a big fear of something known as Global Cooling. Now, presumably, if Global Warming has been occurring since the Industrial Revolution, then that would mean either a) history is all wrong or b) that mankind is not the direct cause of global warming.
Also, in the 14th century, the world was coming out of a mini-ice age. And, if there have been previous ice ages, then how exactly did they end? The Industrial revolution has happened once. Not at the end of every Ice Age, big or small. Therefore, Global Warming has to be a mostly natural cycle.
So, my question is this: what do you think, exactly? Is global warming a man-made dilemma, or is it a natural cycle that may or may not be aided slightly by mankind?

You know they have a theory supporting global warming if it gets warmer over the next few years and one supporting it if it gets colder. What a ****ing load of bullshit, global warming might be slightly true but the many people are blowing it out of proportion in order to use it for political gains.

The pollution (which is caused by man made cars, factories, etc.) does destroy the Ozone, which protects us from the sun, so we have to be committing somewhat. It could be a natural cycle, but we are committing greatly to our own destruction, by global warming our orherwise.

Methane is one of those pollutions. Anywhere between 10 and 30% of it is caused by plants. Add onto that the amount that cattle, the ocean, swamps etc. produce. Methane also warms the earth 25% more for each kg than CO2 does. Natural bodies create heat as well. Killing off a third of the human population would probably drop the temperature as much as it supposedly rises. And, let us not forget, Al Gore uses twice as much electricity as the average American, he brings bands to antartica to sing, and he drives an SUV... He obviously knows what he is talking about in regards to "Global Warming"
Don't get me started on how much snow we had this year...

Well, all I can say is that I hope you are right.
