There is great Evidence of Climate Change and I'm not disputing it, but my question is a serious one ..what's causing it ? Some say it's mankind's Carbon emissions, Some have other ideas of what's causing it...So what say you ?

I believe it to be a normal recurring event in our planets life cycle. Now whether or not human mistreatment has caused its acceleration is I suppose debatable. I completely believe in the possibility.
@Jcoe94 Very good logic

@Jcoe94 It's not even just an acceleration, it's a reversal - without humans returning carbon to the atmosphere at such a rate the planet would be headed for another ice age - albeit quite slowly by our time scales. Which, incidentally, would also suck for much of the biosphere. The universe is a funny place.

@Messi But it's not good logic. It's void of logic. The science is clear. The global temperature is rising 10 times faster than it did following the earth warming after the Ice Age. Science can track back 800,000 years and can practically pinpoint when this started to happen. Logic is fact-based. Opinion is a different animal.

@QuixoticSoul in all actuality we are not headed for another ice age. We have been and continue to be in the same ice age for the last 2 million years. There are just ebbs and sways in glacial advancements and retreats. When this ice age does end the poles will warm and jungle like with no ice anywhere. Then it will begin again. Weather or not humans survive this time, is really irrelevant.

@Ynotisay as I said. I believe we we are responsible for some acceleration.

@JAYS21 naw. I'm near my lifes end. Maybe in a few years when I retire I'll live a hermit life in a cave. But it wont put a dent in anything. What's going to happen, is going to happen.
