Oke let's assume it is not debatable. What is the answer to, was it, human c02 emissions causing global warming?

Hi - man made, natural or cyclical, I'm not sure it matters that much - the fact is it's happening.

Global warming is a hoax period. The eartth is warmed by only one source, the sun. The sun is hotter than usual, making the planet hotter than usual.
Seems easy enough to understand without the chicken little routine to me, I don't know how everyone else doesn't see it also.
If your burning up is it because your skin is trapping to much green house gasses? Or is it that your standing too close to the fire?
You do the math.

The climate IS changing...as it has done over and over for millions of years. The only debate is if it natural, is man-made or if it is worsened by man. This is the debate...but sorry to burst your ignorance bubble...the climate is changing. There was a time several thousand years ago that the earth was covered in ice...called "snowball earth"...there was a time that the poles were lush with vegetation...the massive cycles of time are real and are repeating. I'm not going to say man has anything to do with it...but I will say it takes a complete dolt to think that changes are not happening right before our eyes.
There is no denying the climate has always changed. Read the op.... Smart one.
The debates are wasting time, it's obvious we all do our fair share and accountability is an issue with humanity. It seems everyone wants to blame another.
I say either sh@$ or get off the pot.
" ignorance bubble" ?? If you are talking to me then ya best find better and nicer words because its way too early for me to break it off in ya this morning! Lol seriously, don't talk/ type to me that way as its not welcomed and definitely not a healthy way to communicate with others. It just shows your own ignorance.
The fact is we were not here the last ice age and so now at present time we are seeing what we think happened prior.... It's unsettling and plans should be implemented already and rushed plans at that. We have future generations to protect as our species is at risk!
Time is a circle. What comes around goes around. History will always repeat itself especially when we as intelectual beings poke, prod, and rape the very place we live. If we do not start taking care of this planet she will take care of us. Period.

Exactly, thank you for chiming in as this issue is alarming!
I did however link your thread which is equally important and ties in to the climate changing theme.
Thanks again! Xoxox

You have to get serious about this.... It's serious stuff!
Read the papers I sited. Research this because won't be long and no one will be able to debate it cause we will all be dead! Lol
Seriously, humanity is at stake. Everything else in the news is masking the importance of our species survival on this planet.
I cannot even watch the news because they don't talk about the important " stuff".
When Obama said that in his speech last night, it baffled me. I never expected him to say " climate change is not a hoax". Well, now we are speaking with honesty! I like that, and it's about time!
Now wth is he really going to do about it that helps and not hinders.
We cannot afford to sit around discussing who caused it or if it's natural. Ice caps are melting.... and melting QUICK.
Earthquakes and volcanoes will begin to go off in concert. Lots of lives are at risk.

Nobody here is fearing natural cycles. We're talking about our actions interfering with these natural cycles.
The changes people are seeing these days have little to do with natural cycles. It's far too great, far too quick.

Not true. Natural climate change can happen in the blink of an eye.
A scientist researching the glaciers in the Andes mountains discovered something that disputes the idea that "natural climate change" is slow. As the glaciers are retreating, he found roughly 3 to 4 thousand year old vegetation that was flash frozen at the base of the glaciers. They have found frozen mammoths with flowers still in their mouths. Evidence is indicating that natural climate change can happen in an instant...they have not yet discovered the cause but the evidence is there.

I was glad he said it, I am grateful he acknowledges it. Climate change whether it is purely natural or accelerated by man is irrelevant. We are the Caretakers of this planet, it is our responsibility to minimize our environmental impact as much as possible. We are not the children we once were at the dawn of the industrial age, we have grown into adulthood and know the consequences of our industrialization.
Over and over I hear certain politicians say America should be the light of the world. Yet are unwilling to act like that light. We have the largest consumer base in the world, why are we not using that to the world's advantage. Why is our trade policy rewarding the third world for polluting the planet? Why are we not structuring our trade policy to benefit the worker and the planet? instead we give them cheap wages and a cesspool to live in.
