But humans tend to play the blame game and at the moment the catch-phrase "carbon footprint" is being bandied around and the focus is on the individual. My argument is that there were volcanic eruptions and melting ice before we came along. In the scope of it all, I think we are what we've always been, a flea on nature's back.

Some summers aren't so hot, some are HOT. If we could influence weather, we'd be in control. <br />Marianne/AprilApril Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182262164498606490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156580044494347982.post-68920091637307495422010-08-22T16:13:54.746-05:002010-08-22T16:13:54.746-05:00Emily, that is a wonderful comment and shows your ...Emily, that is a wonderful comment and shows your interest in history.

It's part of why Greenland was colonized by Northmen, and part of why scientists theorize that settlement died out after thriving for 500 years. The world entered a "little Ice Age" @ 1500 which made Greenland unsuitable for a European style agriculture society.<br /><br />I find the way your phrased the question interesting. You ask if we "believe," as if it's an article of faith. Since the science is inconclusive, that's pretty much what it is.<br /><br />Data from ice cores and tree ring studies show there have been periods of cooling and warming throughout the planet's history, with no input from the human race whatsoever. We may be entering a warming trend. Or there may be a massive volcanic eruption which pushes the temp back down again. Global warming is more a political fight than a scientific one since most schemes to impact it merely involve shuffling who's allowed to pollute more and who pays for it.EmilyBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542349086762747179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156580044494347982.post-46380835746328295482010-08-22T14:37:20.680-05:002010-08-22T14:37:20.680-05:00Thanks, J.

But, what if this is the natural cycle of the planet? What if we try to end gas emissions and then we cool down the planet too much?

We're seeing the affects everyday -- the extreme temperatures, excessive flooding, etc. It's common knowledge that due to ice flows melting the salt balance of the oceans has been altered affecting currents below the sea.

From what I've read, the temperature of the Earth is cyclical and based on factors completely out of our control. And I don't believe scientists can predict how temps are going to rise or fall (anyone remember the coming ice age predicted in the 70's?).
