There are many claims as to what is causing the earth to warm. Some believe the earth is warming because of mans pollution of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Others believe the earth is just going through a natural cycle of heating and cooling, and that man has no impact on this. I believe that the earth is warming naturally, and that man doesn't make a big enough impact to have any effect on the earth's temperature.

There is an almost endless amount of information and data from both people who believe the earth is being warmed by man, and those who believe the earth is warming naturally.108 However, I believe the data from those who believe that the earth is being warmed naturally is much more logical and makes a lot more sense. The data from those who claim the earth is warming because of man's pollution into the atmosphere only seem to go back until 1900, which is the beginning of the industrial age, and when man first started putting large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

  1. I too agree that global warming is a natural process and not solely caused by human influence. However,though your claim was nicely written, it contains no evidence to back up your statement. You briefly talk about the endless amount of data from both sides of the arguement,but you do not dwelve into it.It would be nice to see that information compared and contrasted. Why do you believe that global warming is natural outside of data that you have viewed? Factors like the Mideval Warm Period and a survey of peer reviewed studies showed less than 50% of published scientists believe global warming is man-made, which is in direct conflict with assertions by the IPCC that a scientific consensus agrees it is 90% likely that man is responsible for global warming,are reasons that I believe that global warming is not caused by humans. I think that your claim is well thought out but would be even stronger with published evidence to support your theory.
