Global warming

There is hardly any difference of opinion on whether the earth temperature or not. The only dispute is whether humans are responsible for global warming and the magnitude of the warming. There is scientific data supporting both the arguments, yet the fact that global warming is actually a reality has gained more popularity lately. The first politician who ever talked about this issue was Richard Nixon, ever since every single presidential addresses this issue on some scale.

The people who think global warming is not issue at all believe that change in the climate is natural and occurs due to heat wave that hits the planet every 40000 years. Well, this claim is absolutely correct, but one should bare in mind that the heat wave that hit the world 40000 years ago was not combined with any thing else. This time the heat wave is complimented with enormous environmental pollution. If this wave lasts another thousand years, I am afraid we would not survive to see what the next heat wave will bring for us. I think people who claim that Global warming is not a threat are either ignorant or have their self-interests vested in the industry of fossil fuels which  most our politicians do.
