Although the Earth goes through natural hot and cold phases‚ environmentalists and climate scientists have proven that within the past 50 years‚ the Earth’s overall temperature has increased at an accelerated rate that does not coincide with historical hot phases‚ and based on scientific evidence‚ determined that human activity is directly responsible for this heating phase (Rubenstein‚ 2012).

cause of global warming. There is too much evidence to deny that the Earth’s warming is due to a natural change in the Earth’s climate not mankind. Past and future fluctuations in the Earth’s climate‚ the sun and the energy it emits‚ and North and South Pole activities all prove that man made global warming is a myth that has gotten out of hand. Throughout history the Earth goes through climate stages - both warming and cooling. "During the Holocene‚ there have been about seven major warming and cooling
