/The Earth does go through natural changes...EXTREME natural changes. I learned in my Geology courses that North America extended roughly 100 miles along the East Coast during the last Ice Age.
The Earth cools, the Earth warms...naturally. The problem is that the Earth does not cool or warm at this rate. In the 1970's it was thought that the Earth was cooling (and cooling too quickly to be natural) and it was thought the result would be famine. Scientists blamed the problem on sulfur emissions. Environmental standars were increased, the sulfur emissions were patrolled, and the cooling problem disappeared as quickly as it arrived.
You mean it has not cooled nor warmed at the current rate in the recorded past, not that it cannot happen.
The truth is, no one REALLY knows what is causing global warming at present, but liberals are taking guesswork and stating it as fact and attempting to villify those that don't immediately fall in line with their theory.
If a REAL cause is found, and the evidence is verifiable by someone besides Al Gore or Jimmy Carter, THEN I'll be willing to listen. Until that time, my guess is as valid as yours, and actually is more logical.
If you do not know the topic, why post?
The fear is that the Gulf Stream will die out as a result of the warming. If the Gulf Stream dies, North America will heat up and Europe will freeze. The Gulf Stream moves up the Atlantic toward Greenland. Hence, we study Greenland.
But don't worry, Glaciers all over the world are being impacted and shrinking.
