"Global Warming Is Natural".. and your point is?

Ah yes, my favorite argument against global warming. You can't deny the fact that the world is heating up anymore, but you still refuse to allow the blame to be placed on Humans. Thinking you're pretty clever? Sorry, no, you aren't.

It is no longer a debatable issue. We know the world's temperature is increasing. Now some scientific, historical, research shows the Earth's temperature shifts over time, alternaing between highs and lows. This has mislead people into believeing that we aren't to blame for global warming. Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but you're still not innocent.

Scientists are making a comparison between modern times, and thousands of years ago. Now, thousands of years ago there were no cars, no major factories, and no chemical waste products to pollute the environment. Now, you can't deny the fact that we're also affecting our environment. Burning fossil fuels creates gases that damage our atmosphere, making it trap heat. It would be totally ignorant to compare two totally different types of environments, and the only purpose in doing so is to mislead citizens politically. Now, if global warming is also natural, then we're really in trouble, because we're speeding up this natural process!

I don't understand how anyone could be so foolish as to assume that because global warming may be natural, we don't need to worry about it. Well, the polar ice caps are still melting, animal habitats are still going to be destroyed, sea levels are still going to rise. The Earth we live on doesn't care what causes global warming, the effects will still be the same. Why would we want to do anything to possibly speed this process up? We don't! Fossil Fuels need to become obsolete, we can't risk harming our environment anymore than we already have. What ths initial cause of global warming is will remain highly debatable, but the cause isn't what matters at this point. The effects are the truely dangerous thing, and we need to do everything we can to stop them from occuring. Claiming that its a natural process will solve nothing. To be fair, saying that fossil fuels are causing it will fix nothing. Only acting on these statements will help to save our environment.
