Global Warming

Global warming is getting alot of headlines these days. I believe global warming does exist, however, I don't believe that it is a manmade problem and I don't believe that the temperature will rise so rapidly that it will cause a catestrophic series of events. Before this post, let me preface my comment by saying I am not an expert in this field. I do, however, have a little bit of common sense and, frankly, I believe that there are more questions than answers when it comes to global warming. For example, scientists agree that the last ice age ended between 10 and 15 thousand years ago. That being said, since we are not in an ice age at this time, wouldn't it suffice to say that there had to have been a period of global warming for the earth's temperature to rise to current levels. Like I said, I am no expert but I imagine that 15 thousand years ago man's industrial prowess wasn't to the point where it would have a profound effect on the earths climate. Furthermore, how is it possible for scientists to say that the increase in the earth's temperature isn't a naturally occurring phenomenon that has happened every 20 thousand years or so for the last 100 million years? Scientist do have readings showing an increase in the earth's temperature of between 0.3 and 0.8 degrees over the last 100 years which is well within the natural fluctuations over the last millenium. Al Gore and other left-wing liberals would have you believe that we are all going to die within the next 50 years if global warming is not brought under control. In fact, a British court recently released a list of 11 falsehoods that were stated as fact in his propoganda "documentary" An Inconvenient Truth. (http://www.rightwingnews.com/mt331/2007/10/a_british_court_comes_up_with.php). So don't run to the store to pick up life preservers and rafts just yet, because there isn't any evidence that this phenomenon is anything more than mother earth just doing her thing.
