Global Warming Special Last Night

Yes. I agree that we need to do something about pollution, but I do not think we "caused" global warming, or even sped it up. This has happened over and over again. We don't live on a static environment. Earth is constantly changing,

When we measure the rate of change, we see that it is too great to be explained by natural causes. It can only be explained by man-made causes.

But, it makes sense that warming is accelerated because as the ice recedes and there are more areas to absorb heat from the sun, there is more heat radiated to the rest of the planet to melt more ice and so it goes. It doesn't mean that man kind has caused it. I would think it has to do with the nature of heating a cooling.....physics.

If you look at the physics and measurments, you'll see that the rate of change we are seeing cannot be explained by natural causes. It can only be explained by man made causes.

I'm not sure what evidence the other side needs to see or read before they agree that all these pollutants humans are putting into the air is either causing global warming or speeding it up.
