Global warming has been going on for a long time, since the ice age has ended. It is for this reason that I think global warming cannot be stopped. That being said I do believe we have had a hand in it as well with all the carbon we have liberated into the atmosphere at a much faster rate than if humans did not have the want to burn so much fossil fuels. Global warming also seems like a media event, most of the information that we have on it comes from the media, and in many cases I know that the media slants things one way or another in order to make themselves money.
There are a great many non-media sources of information about global warming. Let me link you to two:
- The web site of the international panel of scientists and governments that will soon issue a report concluding that it is more than 90 % certain that human activity is causing global warming, and that this will seriously impact life on earth in the next 100 years.
- The weblog for a group of climate scientists. This blog summarizes the thousands of studies that form the body of scientific evidence about global warming.
