Global Warming

[Sasquatch]

Considering that man is speeding up the process of global warming, and global warming can eventually lead to drastic global cooling, I'd say that's correct.

First, their idea wasn't that mankind is causing global warming, which will lead to global cooling -- their idea was that man is causing global cooling.

Second, there's no credible evidence (non-circumstantial) that mankind is "speeding up the process of global warming".

There honestly should only be one side to this argument. Humans are causing the warming cycle to increase.

Yes, there should be only one side, but unfortunately there are two. The first side is the truth, that human activity has done absolutely nothing to affect our climate. The side that shouldn't exist is the one gullible, ignorant, misinformed, or uninformed people buy into -- the idea that humans have somehow changed, over a century or so, a planet that has supposedly been around for billions of years.

... the average global temperature has increased by about .74°C, and per decade for the last fifty years, has been increasing about .13°C.

If it has increased 0.13°C every decade for the last fifty years, that would mean that the first half of this century saw an increase of 0.14°C. You know, when industry was dirtiest, before any environmental government control came into effect.

But go ahead and discount the myriad factors that affect climate -- natural cycles, rotation and tilt of the planet, energy produced by the sun, etc. etc. -- and blame it on mankind.

Clint said pretty much what I was going to say and more, Humans may not effect all climate changes but definitely contributing to this issue.
( A major cause the way I see it)

Yes, the earth is getting warmer. Yes, pollutant production has increased (much, like CO2, is not much of a pollutant, but still.) But we also have less horses than we did a hundred years ago. A lot less. For those that say that global warming and human activity must be related because they have somewhat of a mutual increase ... global temperature and the number of horses have an inverse relationship, and the same "logic" could be used to argue that global warming is a result of a depreciation in the number of horses.
