Global Warming Debate

It is on debate that how and to what extent the global weather is influenced by the carbon emission of human activities through burning the coal and oil.

One side insists that the carbon emission of human activities produce only an insignificant percentage of the total, following the dominant plants’ emission. Furthermore, they believe that the global weather has its own intrinsic cycle influenced by the motion and activities of other planets. It could be cooler or warmer.

The other side argues that the disasters of flood and the rising sea level based on the melt of glacier are related to the human activities, particularly in the recent 60 or 70 years from the use of steamer.

I personally agree with the first group because human activities are too tiny to the global in terms of carbon emission. While we obtain almost all the energy from the Sun, it does affect the earth mostly, by its black mole or magnetic storms. I think the other group is usually operated or working for the politics (this is especially an important issue during the election time in Australia (21-Aug-2010)).
