I have a feeling many of you are going to disagree with me but I personally don't believe humans are causing global warming! And for those of you who say I don't know the facts, you have no idea what my last school was like. They were considering putting up a statue of Al Gore in the front of the school. I have seen the movie "an inconvenient truth" countless times. The school was ridiculously environmentally friendly, to an obnoxious point. they would serve us pizza for lunch on Fridays but afterwards we had to hand wash the disposable pizza plate we were given to be used again and again. But that is the actual "green" activity that is cutting down on using our natural resources but it’s the "people are warming the earth" thing that I don't believe is true. I do believe that the planet is definitely warming but humans aren’t causing a significant amount to change anything. In the 1970's, scientists proved that the earth was rapidly warming but looking back to the prehistoric times, the rising tempter patterns are very similar. The scientists confirmed that the earth was actually moving into another ice age. But humans are not causing that. Volcanoes erupt so much Co2 into the atmosphere. The human impact barely compares. I'm sorry that I cannot provide links to my sources but I read on either the National Geo' or Discovery website that over all, humans are contributing something like .156 percent of the Co2 going up into the atmosphere. It’s a natural cycle and there is nothing we can really do about it other than start making super coats that can help humanity survive in freezing tempters. But who knows! What if I am wrong and humans are the main reason for global warming. Still there is not much we can do. We can slow it down with the people that actually try to be eco friendly but it is impossible to get a significant proportion of the population to do much about it, plus we are already passed the "tipping point" of global warming. The earth is gettin hotter and weather it’s the human's fault or not, there isn't much we can do about it. All animals adapt to their environment over time. If that wasn't the case humans would not exist. The only problem would be that the animals can't adapt quick enough but that is called survival of the fittest. The animals that survive, survived for a reason. So in summary, the earth is gettin hotter so get used to it!
(and remember these are my personal opinions if you disagree comment this with your legitimate opinion)
