Are humans contributing to global warming?
It’s troublesome that the conclusions in articles such as this precede the data. Actually, in the linked article, the data show pretty clearly that the current global warming is merely an oft repeated cycle that could not have anything to do with mankind. Reminds one of the Queen of Hearts in Alice: first the verdict, then the evidence (if your really want to look at it).
not anymore… I thought we were, but i saw on the news that an international effort to record climate change (most scientists agree that up to 70% of warming happens in the oceans) in the oceans. The international community put numerous probes into several different oceans: they found that the temperatures haven’t changed in a few decades and in some cases, they were lower than the last recored temperatures (in the 1980’s). Now, many avid supporters of the theory say that global warming is now “taking a break.” That’s total bull…..
It is indeed a natural cycle, but if you look at records acquired by scientists (judging by the layers of earth), you’ll see a dramatic increase in temperature when humans first began life. Sure,it didn’t just shoot up at a 90% angle, but it didn’t follow the “normal” path, either. So yes, I believe we’re contributing to Global Warming. However, I don’t believe we’re causing the whole thing.
