global warming is really interesting to me. expecailly give my field. we are seeing northward migations of several native species. the boundraries of where these speices occur are gowing. one great examle is the upside down jelly fish. it was once a caribbean species and now streches above tampa bay. does this mean global warming exisits......maybe. just becasue its cold now doesn't mean its not cold elsewhere. as i recall we had record highs in america all over right before it got real cold. wilomn is right about the ice. ships can now go above canada through the artic sea year around. they used to only be able to go that way during summer months. where is the water????? guess!! why do you think hurricanes are getting stronger? why did the jetties fail?? water levels are getting higher! dont' believe me?!?! tell that to the people in New Symenra beach who lost their mulit million dollar homes as well as restaurant into the ocean this past hurricane season. did man cause all this.......(http://www.theoildrum.com/uploads/12/sst_global.jpg)
yes the earth fluctuates temps all the time. our axis is not stable and our rotation isn't always perfect but for these changes to happen, something big is causing it. so fine i will give you secptics that this may be a warm time for the earth but explain to me how oxygen levels have significantly dropped and carbon dioxide levels are increasing at a rapid rate?

the fact is we are more than likely the casue. we can't prove it because it is extemely hard to prove. i can't find the one graph but it shows the temp increse sence the industrial revolution to now and the climb is more severe than it has ever been. it also showed the drop in oxygen and the rise in carbon dioxied during the same period.
the problem is not too many people want to do anything about it so they will make excuses. oil drives the economy has for the last 8 years we have had someone in charge directly related to oil. ethanol is a perfect fuel that is east to make and renewable but we have to process it. wind energy is on the rise again but is being fought by many. it sad that we as a people can destory a planet but aren't willing to try and make it better. and dont' say that we didn't. because we surely did!!
