Even if we aren’t the cause of Global Warming, we still need to have repect for the resources we take from the earth and seek to conserve resources for future generations’ use. Human society could certainly plan itself better to live with nature instead of seeking to dominate her.

In all seriousness, I think natural variance is a possibility, but as I understand it, it doesn’t happen as quickly as our current warming has taken place. We’re on pace to have only a seasonal northern ice cap, which would have further effect on the global climate and has happened at a much faster rate than prior climate fluctuations.

I think green technology, eliminating our dependence on fossil fuels and developing smarter waste management should be American priorities at this point, even if global warming is a farce. The worst that could happen is we clean up our planet.

But good questions, Blake.

If I had a gun to my head, I would say it was caused by the sun. To quote “every second the sun produces the same energy as about a trillion 1 megaton bombs! In one second, our sun produces enough energy for almost 500,000 years of the current needs of our so-called civilization.”

I do love me some technology, so bring on the cleaner forms of energy, but I am leaning towards global warming as being largely produced by something other than human.
