The Sun is the source for all heat on Earth. Humans are too insignificant to have any effect on something as huge as the climate.

think of the earth as far back as your feeble brain (and mine) can handle, before man, before, any hominid. At this time there was only natural fire, from lightning strikes, volcanos, and impacts from space. So naturally there would be sut, smoke, co2, other chemichals, poisonous gasses from the volcanoes etc in the air, a natural baseline level of them. Calculating this would give you a mass of the earth and the atmosphere, lets just say the earth naturally is a 10 and the atmosphere is a 1 for examples sake.

flash forward 100,000 years to the first human tribe that wielded fire, this was the very first step in the role humans took, and are taking, to influence the atmosphere. Before humans, there were ONLY NATURAL fires, once we mastered fire there have been fires burning EVER SINCE then... these small fires are insignificant by themselves, but they do have weight, they are burning matter, they do transfer earth into particles small enough to stay in the air. compunded over the next 10,000 years the earth might be a 9.9 and the atmosphere is now a 1.1 because we physicaly put part of the earth into the sky each and every day

fast forward another couple thousand years and we find ourselves at the industrial revolution, where we actually suck oil from the earth for the specific purpose to burn it and put it in the air. We suck millions of barrels a day, we burn the same. compund that with the 100,000 years of fire weilding, and only 200 years of oil sucking, and we have taken the earth down a few more nothches all while giving more weight to the atmosphere... lets jsut say 9 and 2
nature is just another word for natural, and humans burning things is not natural,in the earths standards only forrest fires and volcanoes and impacts are a natural source of the pollution we all debate about. the fact is that before humans wielded fire there were only natural fires, after and into the present there has been multiple multiple multiple to the power of 10 fires of all kinds lit every second of every day for the last 100,000 years...as well as natural forrest fires, volcano eruptions and impacts. How does anyone think the earth can absorb and react to all of that extra stuff, when for the millions, even billions of years BEFORE, hominids; it did not have to filter that much crap out of the air, by any standard of measurment. the amount of crap in the air is exponentially higher then it ever has been naturally.
It is a simple numbers game, and numbers dont lie, humans are a part of nature that gained the cognitive power to rise above and master nature, this fact alone is proof that humans contribute to global warming, because EVERY SINGLE DAY that humans have been on this planet doin our thing, the earth has been getting lighter in mass and the atmosphere has been getting heavyer and more saturated. thats all global warming is

The global climate change (if it really is happening) is a natural occurrence that happens on a regular long term schedule. Look up ICE AGE on line and you'll see that the temperature is not a steady as you might think.

You can relax. Human beings are not responsible for the warming of the earth. There are some people who are trying to fool many people about it to try and gain power.

Ask yourself: "How do we know that this is the BEST climate for the world?"

The answer is, we just don't know.

20 years ago the same idiots claiming "GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!" were saying the earth was getting MUCH Cooler! "GLOBAL COOLING..... ICE AGE!!!!! We're all gunna DIE!

Relax.... it's a bunch of hooey.

Warm regards,

We are doing nothing to contribute to this "problem" global warming is a natural occurring cycle caused by the sun

I think you know many of the reasons,many are available on Internet,many are answered by scientist all over the Globe.I am not going to repeat them.what I preview the main reason for this is Mental Pollution. With the advancement in science and technology we are becoming closer globally on physical level but moving away at mental and relations level which leads to selfishness thus creating misdeeds. We have been able to reach moon but coolness of moon is missing from our hearts that's why racial discrimination is rising. we forget that acts of violence any where in the globe is going to effect us also. We have been able to recycle from waste but forget the technology to recycle our impure,negative and selfish thought to pure ,peaceful and loving thoughts. We are feeling proud to be an American,British or Indian and are trapped in the physical boundaries thus crating ripples for people living across that boundary forgetting that we must have proud to a human being treating another person as our fellow being. These are few factor which are creating acts of mental to environmental pollution thus rise in global warming.

Global warming is a lie. The planet goes through warming and cooling cycles. uninformed Evenviromentalist claim that this warming trend is due to our impact on the enviroment, but fail to reconginze that it was hotter 500 years ago and in the overall picture we are actually in a cooling trend.

Because everytime we use energy the energy companies burn fossil fuels to create more energy, which pollutes the air. If everyone took shower showers and turned off the lights when they are not using them, that would be a big help!

climate change is as normal to earth as breathing is to humans.

consider the ice age cycles - we have an vanishingly small role in it.

We pollute. Don't believe what political parties try to tell you. It is real and we need to take action.
