I don't know if global warming is real or not, I have not done the reseach. But I wuld like to add something to this that my collage teacher has told us. There is a report that the scientists in Antarctica have recorded record low temperatures in the ocean for the past several years.
He has also explained to us the Earth's wobble on its axis that is one of the major influences on global temperatures, as I think Mexneto already explained. Mexneto also said that we produce only a percent of CO2 that the Earth naturally produces.
There was also a story that I read recently that Mars has also had rapid warming in recent years, but we havn't had records of Mars for very long so I don't know haow reliable that is.
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.htmlWhich brings up another point, which I may be way off on. How long have we been able to record global temperatures accuratly? 100 years or so, maybe more? What we are experencing now may be natural and ongoing since the birth of the planet, and we wouldn't know because we don't have the data.
That is, we sould just shrug our sholders at global warming theroy and just go about doing what we have been. World temps aside, all the fossil fuels we burn, foest we cut down and polution we put into our oceans and the air, cause other problems to the planet. We could all do better about being green, but big companies with money in fossil fuels will back what makes them a profit and going green costs a lot. What governments need to do is give tax breaks to companies that invest in alternative, renewable fuel resouces (solar, wind, wave, etc.). That would be a good use of government tax breaks and would acctually be something the big comapanies would go for.
