I was under the impression that any temperature increases/decreases were cyclical.
They are. Global warming is a natural phenomenon, and so is global cooling.
But the big argument is how much are humans accelerating this increase?
We aren't entirely responsible, not even for most of it, but with a population of 7+ billion that likes to spit out greenhouse gases, we're certainly contributing.
Even the slightest increases of temperature would have severe consequences.

I can get on board with that, wanna say that's what I saw on one of the shows I actually bought. I think you gotta be right, it's cyclical and that humanity may not be the main force but they do play a part. But not to the degree that Gore and conspirators think but it also isn't bad to try and curtail emissions.
That all said, I'll be long dead before it ruins me.

The Earth had 10-20x more greenhouse gasses at times in its past than we have right now, and during those times, the Earth had numerous periods of extreme COOLING and warming and then cooling again and warming again, over and over.
The sun and oceans are at fault for it all. Hell, water vapor has a much greater effect on warming and cooling than greenhouse gases do anyways. It's not even a contest.
Humans have such and insignificant amount of influence on the climate, it's just silly to even suggest it.
Let me put it in perspective, if you take a mouse and place it on the 50 yard line of the Superdome, the mouse representing humans and the indoor stadium representing the Earth's atmosphere, and that mouse farted, this would be equivalent to the effect humans have made in all their existence to our atmosphere with regards to contributing to greenhouse gases.
And this can easily be backed up with facts and mathematics if necessary.
