the earth does heat up and cool off, its has always done this and will continue long after we wipe ourselves off the planet.....the fact that we are contributing to the rapid effect of this is very easy to see....especially in developing countries like China who opens coal burning factories at a rate of like 6 a week.....the earth has shifted its axis before also...and will again over time....we are only leasing this planet and know mother nature and the earth is a living entity that will win in the end...
both sides need to have an argument so they can justify their connections to the cash cow of oil....
the shifting of the ice is also part of the melting freezing process and along with slowing of the earths core, the shifting of its axis..
global warming is no different then years ago when it was ok for huge steel plants and chemical plants to dump toxins into the water/oceans....very small minded...."oh there is plenty of water to dilute this stuff"...but keep dumping and keep adding developing countries toxins and it will build up....there is only a certain amount of space in the oceans, and in the air...
solar, wind and nuclear would help alleviate adding more to the air....but then you have the na-sayers and all the oil companies and the republicans saying it cost too much to go that route.....actually yes, EVERYONE on this board who runs a business knows that start up costs are expensive....but once more and more people are doing it and other technologies come to light, it drives down the costs...

If you pump co2 into your garage without a car running, the temperature isn't going to increase. A co2 container isn't hot to the touch because it has more co2 in it or not.
Humans are not adding to co2 levels. In a single day, 1 volcano and one area of the ocean, each.. release more co2 than all humans do in a year combined. The co2 being poured into the air didn't come from humans before and it's not coming from us now.
We have plenty of air/land mass left, human eyes have still not seen all of earth and we only live on like .05% of the planets land mass.
We aren't anything.. cows release more co2 than humans.
