existing and (please notice the "and") that humans contribute to it, rather then global warming actually being a natural process?

'Smoking gun' on humans and global warming claimed
NASA-led scientists say ocean data ties manmade emissions to warmer Earth

NOAA
Researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prepare to launch a "profiling float" in the tropical Pacific. The float is one of hundreds used around the world to monitor climate change and which were instrumental for a new report on warming and human greenhouse gas emissions.



AP• Hardly a leg to stand on
View flamingos at a Kenyan lake that had been a refuge for 1 million of the birds until drought, warming, deforestation and pollution took their toll.
Using ocean data collected by diving floats, U.S. climate scientists released a study Thursday that they said provides the "smoking gun" that ties manmade greenhouse gas emissions to global warming.

The researchers, some of them working for NASA and the Energy Department, went a step further, implicitly criticizing President Bush for not taking stronger action to curb emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases.

They said the findings confirm that computer models of climate change are on target and that global temperatures will rise 1 degree Fahrenheit this century, even if greenhouse gases are capped tomorrow.

If emissions instead continue to grow, as expected, things could spin “out of our control,” especially as ocean levels rise from melting Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, the NASA-led scientists said. "The climate system could reach a point where large sea level change is practically impossible to avoid."

The study, published Thursday in the journal Science, is the latest to report growing certainty about global warming projections.

Who would benefit to claim this when it wasn't real?
The Mclaughlin group of the 24th also had a very interesting talk about this if you're interested.

I know that there is proof that the sun is expanding, and getting hotter...

I know that the magnetic poles of the Earth shift, and that at one point the North pole was in the South. This would certainly effect polar ice caps...

I also know that the moon is slowly getting further away from the Earth. And that it's gravitational pole affects our tilted axis as well as tidal pull...

AND I know that in the 70's there was a HUGE concern about the effects of the Global Cooling epidemic...

Ice melting in Siberia, Russia.
Which is very unusual. That will lead to the increase of lakes in the area. After that happens the process will become uncontrollable. Also there is a lot of metan gas under the surface.. This is even more dangerous for the global warming

I've never understood why it is so important to know how much of global warming is due to nature and how much is due to man. It really doesn't matter a lot at this point which one is more at fault. The bottom line is that global warming is real, and BOTH nature and humans have a piece in it. I think it's only logical to control the only amount we can control, which are the contributions we have made primarily through CO2 emissions.

research the CO2 concentrations and its relationship to temperature. scientists can drill into glaciers 650,000 years old and analyze the dust and CO2 in it as well as the thickness of the layer...they can tell the average temperature at the time the snow fell that would produce the ice (in layers). The relationship is startling and the CO2 in the atmosphere is more than double it has been at any time in the last 650,000 years.

Like the old saying "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"---I can give you facts, but if you are unwilling or unable to see them as facts, I can't convince you. The info is all over the place, take the time to disprove it and maybe you find the real truth you are afraid to face.

I have no proof about it, i didn't go to each of the polar caps and studied them, but that natural process is true to me, its the only thing this planet can come up with to make this disgusting species extinct. Like the dinosaurs, if your heard of those things.
Hopefully when this species is gone the computers will rule the planet in harmony, since its obvious this species doesn't want to.

Go to any college and ask an expert (a scientist) and they will give you proof, the problem is you would have to read. There has never been a peer reviewed paper ever published that discredits what science is telling us, Global Warming is real

the simple fact seems to be... no one knows why it's happening exactly... you can't prove that it's natural either...

but those are the two main theories... natural or caused by man... I suspect we're going to wait and see for the most part, since it's difficult to prove the cause of something...

hopefully it won't be too late, if it is due to man...

but, it's really hard to know exactly...

Pollution had damaged the layers above the earth making it being hit by the heat of the sun directly instead of being protected by a layer.
