There really isn't any debate within the scientific community over whether climate change is happening or not, it is. But many share different opinions over what's actually causing our climate to change. Some will point to previous points in time where climate drastically changed without modern man's presense, but you could also argue that our climate is changing too much, too fast for it to be completely natural.

So, is it all just naturally happening? If not, to what extent are humans responsible? Explain your views if you have the time :)

Debate away.

I'm not an expert in this area, but I'm pretty sure that humans are behind at least most of these climate changes.



If not, "God" failed big time.



I have no idea, but we'd better dismantle our economies just in case.



look at how human can shape his environment, is it to far-fetch to think that we, by completely changing the habitat we live in, that we have an impact on our climate?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I would say probably not, no. Temperature does run in cycles.

Humanity does have some effect, certainly, but I don't see that it's the major cause.

Definitely not the leading factor. A very minor factor yes, but it's so small that it doesn't need any public awareness or regulations on CO2 emissions.



There was a period of cooling, and this period of "warming" coincidentally happened at the same time as industrialization, and has continued to warm along with increases in co2 concentration.

Better keep polluting because nature is gunna kill us anyway.



global warming is the biggest hoax of our lifetime. just 30-40 years ago, the were talking about us going into another ice age. the years will go on a people will realize how much of a scam it is.

remember the green movement is really RED. its communist, its all about redistributing wealth.

the earths climate has been changing since it was made, theres nothing diferent going on. we are safe.

Do you believe that nuclear winter is possible?
