when we entered the industrial age, our emissions levels skyrocketed. this produced copious amounts of CO2 and other chemicals that trap heat in the earth's atmosphere, while still letting more heat in from the sun. the effects weren't immediate, but because our industry continues to grow, the effects grow greater and greater. But it essentially all started with the Industrial revolution

Modern global warming began to be noticed about 20 years ago. Most scientists thought it was hog wash - some still do. It has nothing to do with the ozone becoming deleted. The ozone layer protects the planet earth from strong radiations coming fro the sun. This is why we are told to wear sunblock to protect against being exposed to excessive ultraviolet rays. The worry, of course is that way too much ultraviolet rays will come through a depleted ozone layer and begin to kill off vegetation. If the vegetation disappears we might become awfully hungry and there will be super global warming because there would be no carbon sinks to absorb carbon dioxide. Not to worry we'd be dead before this global warming would sear us. We may become like Venus.

Well, about a million or so years ago, a Bushman was fooling around with his new- found invention "fire", -when a sudden gust of wind came up outside his cave, & blew some of his fire onto some nearby brush... THAT caught fire, & that spread into the woods across the way & became a big forest fire. Of course the Bushman freaked out- and ran over to the next cave nextdoor & told his neighbor what happend. "You idiot!- the neighbor cried (a fellow named Goreman- I suspect), "You've just started Global Warming!!!" ... And the REST -is history... Now you know... :)

The Sun began fusing Hydrogen atoms.
"Global Warming" has happened before humans ever existed and will happen again long after we're gone. It's cyclical, regardless of what "environmentalist" retards want you to think. They don't care about the environment...they care about changing your behavior regarding it when NO changes need to be made. Human beings are irrelevant when the big picture is considered.

Mans discovery of fire.
That lead to being able to smelt metals, which lead to making metal tools, then industrialisation and eventually global warning

It's all natural, as it's what melted the ice ages. The problem is Islamic Fascism, not the liberal misguided concern of global warming.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
