About 18,000 years ago Ice covered what is now the northern part of the U.S., so yes I have to say the Earth has warmed significantly since then, so can you explain to me how this could man's fault since the industrial era only began nearly 100 years ago.

Let me ask you this, Do you think the Earth goes through warming and cooling cycles.

I'm not blasting anyone, everyday I either hear or read reports about Global Warming either on the radio, TV, internet or in newspapers, and 95% percent of the time it's from the liberals viewpoint. I ran across this article and thought it would be interesting to have information and views from other countries. Hopefully it will give the readers another perspective on the subject. You on the other hand seem to get very upset when someone doesn't agree with you.

I don't think I'm obsessed with it, but I would like for you or someone to answer the question I ask in post #4 and that is "If humans are the cause of Global Warming now, then what caused the many warming cycles of the past?" In all honesty I've been asking this question for over a year now and no one seems to have a answer, so I really don't expect you to either.

Yes I do believe that, but thats a simple logic to use on such a big issue as the one we are facing. There is so much more involved in the warming of the earth today than just a warming cycle. Scientist say that the earth hits an ice age every 100,000 years, the last one (Which you speak so much of) was 10,000 years ago. So this change in the climate is not expected, something has to be causing the dramatic change in temperature.

"What we have here is a great laboratory for seeing how climate changes naturally," he said. "But this is a 100,000-year cycle, whereas global warming is happening a thousand times faster." Thats a quote from the site below from a study of the earth temperature cycles.

Man can be blamed for the rapid heating of the earth today becuase of the greenhouse effect. We are pouring gases into the air that get caught in the atmosphere and cause more heat from light to be reflected and trapped on earth.

Scientist blame the last ice age, and the previous ones on the tilt of the earth. This tilt, which is always changing, is what causes us to have seasons and some parts of the earth to have periods of 24-hour daylight/night. Global warming is happening 1000 times faster than other changes, so you really cant blame this on the "average" change in earths temperature.
