If I remember right, your pretty young, just a kid ( I dont mean that as an insult )...Im 47 years old myself for comparison...
I want to say to you that I think its great that you have concerns about this topic and that you are brave and smart enough to want a discussion and to ask questions about it.
Athough everyone here might seem to have their own thoughts about this, and that theres nothing wrong with them letting you know them, I dont think its the best place to try to learn scientific or truthfull details from on this subject.
Haveing said this, I dont want you to think that peoples opinoins are not important....they are. They are what drives others to ask questions, do research, take actions and learn the truth.....Hopefully you will continue to seek the answers to these questions. Answers that you can relly on to help ease or elevate your concerns. Which ever it may be.
I can't tell you the truth about this myself because I dont know either...I will tell you, that like you, I am concerned also.
Its hard to beleive one way or the other because of so many differing opinons that one heres and everything that seems to be said by someone is contridited by someone else.
So....some of my unprofesional thoughts....Its true that the earth has undergone many drastic and not so drastic changes in its climate thru its history and will again...
Each of these changes has and will have an effect on life on the planet to one degree or another....Every change that has taken place up untill now, can not be atributed to being cuased by man.
That leads us to now....
If you beleive the climate is changeing then ask why is it changeing ?? To what degree will it change ?? What effect will the change have on life, yourself, your family, your future, mankind ??
Many beleive its not changeing and no reason to talk about it. Others say it is but it has nothing to do with man. Others say its going thru a change and man is helping to excellerate it, others say its all because of man, so on and so on....
Some that say man is responsible or partly responsible but theres '' nothing '' that can be done about it and others say that there '' is '' things that can be done....some say why even try and others say we should at least try.
What do you, who do you beleive ??
Now. I cant say that this is a natural cycle or its being cause be increased activity on the sun or any other nutural cause of nature because the truth is that I dont know and am willing to say so.
But I can not see how a nearly century of ever increasing amounts of automobiles and other forms tranportation like airplains, shipping, ect. world wide, the ever increasing amounts of industrilization world wide, human population, deforestation, local to global polluting, ect. is haveing '' no '' effect on the atmoshere to a point to where it has '' no '' effect on the way the atmoshere reacts as far as temperatures, and weather patterns that can in turn cause other changeing patterns that in turn cause more and more changes that could just end up throwing the whole planet into a point of no return..A spinning top, that you give it just the slightest little bump and it might recover or it might just go crazy to the point of no return....I know that thats a worst case example but could it be ??..It just seems like it would have too have some effect to me....But thats just me. And Im not a scientist by no means....
If it is true and again, I cant say that it is, but if it is, then can we really not do anything about it ?? Should we even try ?? Well what would be the results if we dont ? I cant say. What would be the results if we did ? I cant say that either.
I think that we should all be concernd and to insist on further research and to continue to try to know untill we all do know, one way or the other.
Keep up trying to find out because it is or might be important IMO, to us all.
