Global Warming is a long term trend. There have been changes from hot to cold without man in the history of the Earth. However with the massive output of CO2 it looks like we might tip the world into a hot period. This is the only planet that we can live on. We should be taking more care of it.

"If global warming is caused by mankind's activities then why is there global warming on Mars?"
No one ever said that warming could not occur without humans. It obviously has in the past on this planet before we were around. The point is that currently we are causing warming by releasing heat-trapping carbon.
What caused the earth to warm up before man used fossil fuels 500 years ago when Greenland was actually green?
Greenland was not actually green then; only the southern coast was, which is how it got its name. The problem is that the enormous ice sheet is shrinking, and fast.(1)
"All these folks like Al Gore and others have an agenda. Just follow the money. They want to return to pagan times when there was no technology. These people worship the earth and their religion is evolution."
Okay, follow the money...Where is the enormous financial machine that backs all this research? Who or what has some vested interest in proving global warming? There are, on the other hand, groups very interested in trying to disprove it, like the oil companies and the "think tanks" they fund.
In 2002 ExxonMobil donated $30,000 to the "National Center for Public Policy Research" for "educational activities" and a further $15,000 for general support. In 2003 the company boosted its general operating support to $25,000 with another $30,000 for 'global climate change/EnviroTruth website".

If global warming is caused by mankind's activities then why is there global warming on Mars? No one ever questions this global warming theory. They just accept it as a fact and if anyone does he is castigated and ridiculed. What ever happened to the free exchange of ideas in academe? If you don't just accept this theory your funding is automatically cut off. Is that academic freedom?
What caused the earth to warm up before man used fossil fuels 500 years ago when Greenland was actually green? What caused the Vikings to vacate Greenland when the iceage occurred? No one wants to answer this!
I believe there are weather cycles caused by the variations in the suns temperatures.

It's a scientific fact. The Earth's average temperature is increasing because of global warming.

it takes eighty six hours theoretically specking to raise a dinsoures temperature one degree, because of the mass involved, one degree or six degrees it is here and it has only to stop the circulars oceans current to return the cold planet to in former ice cell
