All the arguing aside the fact remains that we are in a warming cycle and the earth is getting warmer. The question is: " Is what we are doing on the planet IE pollution, fossil fuels etc. causing this warming cycle to be greater than is would normally be?"

What I mean is this. Say the earth was naturally going to warm itself and increase its average overall temperature by 1%. It would have some effect on the planet that may or may not be harmful to us. But what if the things we have been doing to the planet cause that average temp to instead go up by 3%? It's not a huge jump, but when looked at on a global scale it could be a major deal.

Both sites of the argument have an agenda. The pro-environmental people want to prove their point and the anti-environmental people want the same. My thought is that, when in doubt, err on the side of the environment. In the end this planet is our home and I have always gone with the theory that you don't shit in your own living room. I would rather be safe than sorry.
