Yet, what real evidence has proven that man is really changing the climate of the earth beyond it's normal fluctuations? 10,000 years ago, a mere snapshot in our planet's history, we were in an ice age. The planet warmed to its current state without any help at all from "mankind". A good essay on this topic was written by the writer Michael Crichton. The link to it is here: http://www.sepp.org/NewSEPP/GW-Aliens-Crichton.html The questions for debate are: Is the phenemena known as 'global warming' the result of man or is man's impact of far less importance than the normal dynamics of the planet?
