Part B: Ice Next thingy. HOLY CRAP ANTARCTICAS MELTING! shut up hippys and do your research. All the melting ice in Antarctica comes from that little tip thing it has. That tip makes up roughly 5% of the continent. Oh but teh glaciers goes bye bye minty, explain that! People dont realize how many glaicers are in the world. Most will say 30-40, but there are really thousands and only a few are studied. California has almost twenty glaicers alone. The majority are in Iceland though and guess what gore? THERE ADVANCING AT ALMOST THE SAME RATE AS OTHER ARE RECEDING! dont know about you guys, but i think thats a major flaw in the theory.

Part C: History of debunked theorys I could go on with scientific studies but i feel the need for a change of pace. Year: 1930 Genetics is a fledgling science. With all the the unkowns at the time, people thought that you could stop undisirable traits by removing "undisirables" from the gene pool. Enter the theory of Eugenics. Hollywood stars poured money into research and publically advocated the theory. Major scientists formed a consencus that the theory was "true" and swung public opinion. Fast forward to 1945, the end of WWII. Hitler, a firm beliver in Euginics, murders millions to "purge the gene pool". While no one has been killed yet in the name of global warming, extremist and terrorist groups have been found with plots to "increase public awareness". Major stars with no idea what there talking about and dump millions of dollars to highly influenced reasarch projects. Amyone else see a parrallel?

It is true that 75% of all greenhouse gasses is water vapor, butt these days there is more water vapor. when a car engine burns gas it creates a combustion reaction which releases Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor, so more water vapor is being trapped in the atmosphere which is causing global warming. It has nothing to do with evaporation.
Secondly I think that there is no question that humans have caused this climate change. If we didn't have cars or power plants today we wouldn't have to worry about the increasing temperatures. If you notice humans have been around for over 40 million years, and only during the technological revolution does global warming actually start to occur. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots.
Thirdly this is not some out of the blue story that the media has concocted. Studies show that 99% of all scientists agree that global warming is happening while only 56% of the media outlets have come out and said that global warming is actually happening.
Global warming is real and we are the problem.

We are not the problem, but we are speeding it up. The Earth goes through periods of warming and cooling. We recently (compared to the Earth's age) came out of an Ice Age. Now we are in a warming period.

If you look at the past "warming periods" that the earth has under gone the temperature now is much higher than the temperatures rom the mideval warming period.
I really dont know why it is so hard for people to realize that we are the root of the problem. I mean it has been proven that CO2 and water vapor cause heat to be trapped in the earth's atmosphere and we have found that there are signifigantly higher amounts of CO2 and water vapor in the atmosphere in recent times, and where else could these green house gasses have come from except from fossile fuels. You know it has been proven that Oil and coal release CO2 and water vapor when they are burnned.
So if you add all this up there is a 99% chance that we are the cause of global warming.
