Give me some solid proof. Thanks!

Good point. What I mean to say is, convince me that global warming is caused by humans. There.

Science does not prove anything. It can't. Science can only disprove with hypotheses and repeatable testing. That being said:

There is an observed warming trend happening right now on the planet. This is temperatures from all over averaged together to give a "global average".

Through out Earth's 4.55 billion year history it has had warming and cooling cycles. This is due to many factors such as the Milankovitch cycles (orbital changes), volcanic emissions, precession changes (axial tilt), and other contributors of gasses that contribute to the greenhouse effect (like CO2 from decay or animal respiration).

This a purely natural cycle.Anything we are doing now in the form of emissions isn't the problem. We are polluting our own air that we have to breathe but the Earth would be warming up regardless if that's the direction it was taking, which it seems to be.

However, we are still going to face some problems, as a huge human population, if we are indeed starting a warming trend, as it seems we are. Oceans will rise and become warmer, meaning there will be less land to live and grow food on and the oceans will become unhealthy because of slowed circulation. Weather will go nuts because the ocean's circulation will slow down and tropical diseases will have more areas to invade. We will also have less suitable climates to grop crops in and warmer water hold can more pollution. And one can agree the population is NOT getting any smaller.

All the insanity you hear about today with global warming isn't about whether its real or not (though some crazies try to say its isn't happening at all). Its real. The controversy is around whether humans are responsible. And we're not, at least not in an way that would change the Earth's cycles. The Earth has been around ages longer than we have. Its a much mightier force than we. It has seen and endured and survived much more than we ever could.

Politicians are trying to use this controversy as leverage to point fingers and play the blame game and get attention. Stop paying attention to politicians and pay attention to REAL science from real scientists that have nothing to gain by presenting the truth. Not science that has big oil money or EPA money or politician money in it.

Global Warming is NOT caused by Humans. Dr. Joe D'Aleo who has quite a biography (he's seen as being the CHIEF in saying that Global Warming is NOT caused by humans, and has the biography to support it., I had the honor of hearing him speak 2 times recently. And he is AMAZING).

CO2 is NOT the most important element in the greenhouse gas cycle. In fact it is one of the LEAST. (Some others have more than 100 times GREATER EFFECT on the greenhouse gas cycle). There implying that our CO2 emissions are not as critical as we are being told. Not to mention the greenhouse cycle is CRITICAL for life on Earth. Without it, the earth's temperatures would be TOO cold for us to survive! Countries that have DRASTICALLY cut back their CO2 emissions have hardly even seen a difference to the thousandth of a degree.

Many times in our earth's history have we experienced temperature variations greater than today. For example, Between 800 and 1300 AD, much of the world was several degrees warmer than today.

By the way.. just a few more facts: Historically temperatures are being adjusted by the HCN without any scientific reason. Just to support warming data from recent years. The number of weather stations across the country has reduced drastically in recent years. (Over 2,000 in the US alone have shut down since 1990), creating A LARGE difference in the data we receive. Many of the stations left are in horrible locations thus creating un-accurate readings. And it is a PROVEN FACT that we have been in AT LEAST 10 warmer periods than the one we are in now.

This is only A SMALL portion of the data that makes me a believer that within the next decade.. society will be KICKING themselves for worrying about Global Warming. Of course its ALWAYS good to try to be friendlier to our planet. But we are NOT causing global warming. Our earth WILL cool in the coming years because it is all natural.

Very simply put - right now there are 350 ppm of CO2 in our atmosphere. About 25 years ago it was 220 ppm. Using ice cores, reading of 350 ppm have NEVER been seen within the last 1 million years. Within the last 20 years, the snow on Mount Kilamanjaro has disappeared, the Greenland ice shelf is half it's normal size, Glacier National Park doesn't have any more glaciers.

global warming exists, FACT. I think the question you should be asking is whether its caused by humans!!
