"Global Warming" is the product of hippie-liberals who always want to blame **** on someone else aside from themselves. They always want to make a big production out of something b/c they have nothing better to do and always want to walk around talking down to everyone else w/all their self-righteous bull. The world is constantly changing and adapting. What makes them think that after hundreds of years of mistreating it they can "save" it w/their stupid rallies and programs on TV. Aren't they also supporting their "global warming" in the process.......air plane rides, refrigeration for their bottled water, fliers, advertisements, clothing, etc. Yeah they could be doing a couple of things to "help". I just don't like to listen to their hypocritical crap. But hey, whatever. Believe whatever you want. Everyone has to believe in something right? By the way.....I think you're pretty hot. Perhaps we can do a little warming sometime. hahahahahha ;)

In the past ice ages have come and gone through a series of natural cycles. The most important one being the way the planet revolves around the sun. The path Earth takes isn't a regular one, it follows an elliptical route. The ellipse contracts and expands, sometimes it's a nearly circular route and at other times it's a much more pronounced ellipse. This deviation is called eccentricity and is given a value according to how far from true circularity the ellipse is.
The full cycle takes 415,000 years, there are 'mini cycles' of 95,000 and 136,000 years. At the moment our orbit is more or less circular and has an eccentricity of 0.017, the average is 0.028 and the max is 0.059.
In thousands of years time when Earth's orbit takes us closer to the sun we would expect to see significant warming taking place.
It's the natural cycles of the Sun and Earth that have led to global cooling and warming in the past and consequently to the coming and going of ice ages.
Our current position within these cycles is such that the planet should be warming up very slowly, and indeed it is. However, the rate of warming is far less than that which we're currently experiencing. The difference between natural and observed warming is the 'human effect' - anthropogenic global warming.

In the real world, events have multiple causes. So we could, for instance, live in a period of naturally increased warming, and make it *even worse* through our own behavior.
Now I want to introduce you to faulty cause-and-effect: just because it seems that we're influencing our environment in a certain way now, does not mean that the same cause set a similar change in motion 100,000 years ago.
Here's a different way of thinking about it. We could just do nothing, and if it turns out we're wrong and the earth can't "repair itself naturally" then we're all pretty much screwed. OR, we could get moving and stop being so destructive. If we're wrong, the worst thing that happens is ... nothing. If we're right, we've saved our own hides. Seems a reasonable risk, no?

If you desire to acquire provide cash for local weather study, do you suppose that you can get a cheque in case you say," I want the provide, as I suppose that I can turn out that the figures that the present paradigm is founded upon are unsuitable" ? The fine environmentalist, David Bellamy, has been silenced, and refused airtime. There remains to be no tested causative hyperlink among the quantity of Co2 within the surroundings, and an expand in international temperatures. The WWWF pics of the polar bears swimming have been taken within the Arctic summer season; while the ice cap partly melts, as they could not stand up to snapshot within the iciness. The ice was once too thick! The East-Anglian uni study figures. "Oh! The figures do not fit our expectancies. Oh good. Keep quiet. Because we all know that we're correct." When the perception, and the religion is extra principal than squarely dealing with the respectable doubts of plenty of non provide-supported scientists, technological know-how has been superceded by means of devout zealots. As Oliver Cromwell colourfully stated." I pray thee, within the bowels of Christ, take into account that thou mayest be unsuitable."

Yes Global Warming is a natural cycle, but we have caused that natural cycle to speed up, and to occur in an unsafe and unnatural time period (which is between a few decades to a century). But there's hope, since we have the power to speed it up, we also have the power to slow it back down to its natural rate, with modest warming.
And if you still aren't convinced that we can't affect the environment in which we live then ALL of the modern convinces that we have today wouldn't exist. The Panama Canal wouldn't exist; all of the metal and/or wood structures wouldn't exist, and etc.
And if that doesn't convince you then go to think.mtv.com and climatecrisis.org to get the truth.
And if this still isn't working for you then I have a question for you. In about 30 years (if humans haven’t decide to change our ways, go green, and slow down the effects of Global Warming to its natural rate) and the effects of Global Warming have set in so far that there's nothing we can do or any one after us can do to reverse what WE have done, and my children/grandchildren and you children/grandchildren have to live with the horrible effects What are you going to say? What are you going to say when they ask you, "What were you thinking? Why didn't you do anything?"
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY?

Hi Neil, Good question. The earth is and has made some changes. Every state and country are having strange and abnormal weather and I thing It's going to stay the way the changes are they are not going to go back the way they were.
It could be a bad thing or some places it could be a good thing. Only time will tell for sure!!!
A Friend.

Global warming is a lie created by the criminal liberals to push their anti-capitolism,anti-American agendas.
