So, do you think climate change is due to primarily by Human Activities or Natural Occurences? Abstract/Background: Climate Change, according to the Australian Government's Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, refers to Climate Change as the change in the average weather patterns over a "long" period of time (this may be as little as decades or extend beyond centuries) and affects the 3 main Climate Systems; atmosphere (gas forms; greenhouse gases), oceans (liquid forms) and cryosphere (solid forms;specifically ice, frozen ground and snow). These changes can be of cooling or warming nature and can be caused by both natural and human activities. The importance of Climate Change being an issue was brought up by Climatologists in the 1960's and 1970's. This caused the World Meteorlogical Organisation and the UN Environment Programme to for the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) to be formed in 1988. Later making a report claiming that "Global Warming was occurring and something needed to be done" and made the UN for the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Conference on Climate Change).

Human, We fucked up our own planet.. Instead of using nature-friendly cars we use cars that cause pollution. Some of our rivers are fucked up too, Many fish die because of the pollution. And instead of trying to create more forests we destroy instead. So yeah, We, The Humans are the ones who caused this. |

Humans and there altered egos. There is no definite proof that we are causing any of this. Earth has undergone periods of climate change, even before humans were living on the planet, and this is a fact. We've had ice ages and mass extinctions way before humans. So yeah... |

I say it's natural. If you don't believe, that volcano in Iceland which erupted year or two years ago produced more CO2 than whole human population in a period of years. Then, the climate is somehow controlled by medusas in Pacific Ocean. I won't post it in a wall, waiting for Taylor's reply. |
