no, we are not. as the northern hemisphere is being heated, the southern hemisphere is being cooled. the ice caps melting in the north pole are forming in the south pole. although we heated up the earth a degree, the temperature dropped three degrees. catch the drift? we are being influenced by shit people who dont know what they are talking about (e.g. politicians and stuff)
Idfk. Reading all this stuff, it seems like Fallacy has the right idea, looking at history and what humans have done in the past. I'll have to say that I agree, and a lot of this is just a bunch of people buying into media hype controlled by the interests of overly bleeding hearts, corporate interests, and let's not forget the gubment.
And yes global warming is a farce; I prefer anthropologically idiosyncratic global climate change.

Complaining about how bored you are just shows how dull you are.
Athrax, I recognize that humans are hurting and destroying Earth. We waste resources, cut down most of the forest and wreck the habitat for the indigenous animals. I am not selfish. I recycle, drive fuel efficient cars, save resources such as water and electricity. I do care about the world, but frankly the claim that we are the ones who cause global warming is just an idea scientists and politicians use for more power and influence.Its crap.

HAHA! Sleep better at night knowing you're doing "your part"? Bah, what a heaping pile of bullshit, and I'll reason to you why.
Steaming Piece #1) Humans are hurting and destroying Earth.
Wait, you're implying the Earth has a baseline health that it needs to maintain, and if it doesn't, we need to medic quickly so it doesn't flatline and crash into the sun? What kind of logic is that? Humans have done so much in so little time because we augment the Earth to our purposes, and the reasonable progression of this augmentation is: Minuscule adaption of environment to selves -> low-scale adaption of environment to selves -> moderate adaption of environment to selves with low-level detriment to planet -> high-scale adaptation of environment to selves with moderate detriment to planet and probability of existential threats to high scales of population -> reasonable adaption of environment to selves with sustainability strictures. The transition is already happening; besides, if your argument is that humans are raping Mother Earth, we've been doing that for a long time, why haven't we completely torn her in half yet?
Steaming Piece #2) I am not selfish.
Hate to attack you bro, but you totally are! All humans are.
Steaming Piece #3) I do all this to help save Earth.
Please. Large-scale industry is responsible for more emissions than population centers are. You wanna delay the transition to reasonable adaptation of environment to selves with sustainability strictures and join an eco-terrorism front, that would do more 'good' than driving a hybrid and eating organic.
Well, that's my rant.
