Global warming and global cooling is a natural process of the Earth. I do not doubt we are in a warming trend. Too much data shows this trend to deny it.

The rub is, have humans contributed to the situation or is it just one of the natural cycles that will continue as long as the Earth exists?

The other rub is will any efforts on our part to "curb" this trend result in a worse situation in the long run?

Why can't all responses to this be as correct & concise?

I agree there is also global warming on Mars.


A study of the ice caps on Mars may show that Mars is experiencing a warming trend also. Mars is experiencing global warming, then perhaps there is a larger phenomenon going on in the Solar System, such as increasing solar output irradiance.

We probably have conributed to some warming. But is our contribution something the Earth's mechanisms cannot correct?

Another rub would be if it was discovered that our collective warming contribution is becoming irreversible. Our growing population would have to be reduced. The humanitarian concerns of the far-left which seeks to preserve populations which by themselves are unsustainable. What would the far-left do then? Preserve humanity or preserve the planet?
