People say that us human beings are the cause of it But is it not possible that the earth could be justnaturally warming up and the co2 levels rising naturally. ouldn't this be just all a big article just to frighten people and c02 levels ae rised in the past and it hasnt effected life on earth. So why should it now?

The fact that CO2 is rising is no swindle and the fact that people are causing the rise in CO2 is not in dispute. Oil companies agree, George Bush agrees, EVERYBODY agrees that CO2 is on the rise, because it is so easy to measure. And EVERYBODY agrees is human activity making it rise. But there is disagreement as to how much warming that has caused and will cause in the future.

But the Kyoto treaty IS a swindle. Kyoto does not reduce CO2 levels but it does require countries like the the U.S. to attempt to lower emissions or, if the fail (and all WILL fail) pay large sums of money to countries like China, while placing NO LIMITS WHATSOEVER on the CO2 emissions of those other countries, like China. CO2 emissions are growing in China so much faster than in the U.S. that China will pass the U.S. to become the #1 emitter of CO2 in a few decades. This is due, at least in part, to the growing popularity of SUVs in China.

Look no matter what you read, GW is caused by humans. Look up CFC's. Your mom helped dumped them into the atmosphere by the tons per day. We now have to clean them up. To that end I sent this letter to Al Gore:

Putting the technology together to start cleaning up and reintroducing new ozone to the atmosphere is possible. The cost and size of this project means taking a long term commitment. I am proposing the biggest cleanup in history. Al, I do not see any proposal that is realistic or proven at any cost, not even Washington can solve this problem. But if every person on earth does his or her share, we may be ok. Never-the-less, I see governments acting like a deer in a car’s headlights and people doing the same thing. The inevitable is almost upon us. Cleanup and change is the only option.
The first cleanup machine starts with a ten billion dollars investment. Ten year later with twenty-five machines operating, these machines will produce enough ozone to replace both holes at the poles. But more importantly, these machines will remove chemicals that deplete the ozone. Beyond making ozone, decreasing the poisons that deplete ozone, these machines reduce the major greenhouse gases and unbelievably we can have all this for fewer than one hundred billion dollars.
Beyond cleaning up our atmospheric mess as I am suggesting, we humans must do a better job reducing or cleaning up carbon monoxide, collecting and storing methane and ethane for fuel, burning less of everything, cleaning up our forests and using more solar insolation. Solar steam electric generators are the type of systems we need and are 90 percent efficient and near 100 percent if heat recovery is used. I believe nearly 30,000 MW are needed in the USA and Mexico over the next 30 years. This opens the door to new electric cars, new construction vital to our way of life, new bullet trains, and these industries produce new high paying jobs. From small scale solar generators on malls, to 2000 acre collector sights, these systems are viable and ready for production. The Federal Government must give up some land, money and have less regulation to help save the planet from disaster.
Al, spreading the message that we can help ourselves is a key to the development of these businesses. Washington can help: the businesses need grants, patents, land and regulations. Congress must create a pollution surcharge. From gas, coal, diesel, wood to cooling towers, from cattle, other ranches to cigarettes, from agriculture burning to airplane passengers, this surcharge can fund parts of these projects and many stationary pollution control devices in general.
Your personal support is very important to getting the atmosphere cleanup started and developing sights for solar generators.

Sincerely,

It hasn't affected people as mother nature already has a plan . Mother nature introduced plants a few million years ago ,and through a process of photosynthesis the plants remove most of the CO2 .So if it gets to the point where someone can make money off it they will.Gore book and movie has made him lots of money and some science are getting fat off it also . If they said it was natural there would be no money to study it.

It depends on if you would like to be caught up in a hurricane or the such. I hate the effects cause I used to know what to wear but it changes so freakily even for Scotland.

If the earth had been left to it's natural cycle we would be heading into an ice age. Which, of course, would also be a disaster for our over abundance of people living where the glaciers would then be moving in over the next 10,000 years.

In the face of scepticism, Scientific evidence of global warming continues to build.

US and Britain military cabinets are developing plans to deal with predicted future climate change-related conflicts

Of course, some people still beleive that cigarettes do not greatly increase the risk of lung cancer.
