In my humble opinion global warming will come naturally but we are just accelerating out death. But it will come either way..

Herbert challenges reality of global climate change
Herbert, who sat quietly through most of the discussions during the past two days, spoke up after presentations that included the statement that the debate on climate change was over. "I've heard people argue on both sides of the issue, people I have a high regard for," Herbert said. "People say man's impact is minimal, if at all, so it appears to me the science is not necessarily conclusive." Ref. Source 5
I am sure that most of us have heard about the new "Clean Energy Act" that passed the House of Representatives recently. The conservative talk shows, blogs, and other interested parties are very disturbed by it, as it is actually a very heavy tax on everyone, and will only serve to enrich people like Al Gore.
Anyway, here is a little bit of information about it from a perspective other than the political.
This if from the Manufacturing and Technology e-Journal.

Breaking News: Manufacturing & Technology eJournal Poll Shows Clean Energy Act Could Force Nearly 20 Percent of Manufacturers to Close The cap-and-trade based system, pushed by the Obama administration and passed by the U.S. House, could cause energy costs to skyrocket and fuel more unemployment Critics of the Waxman-Markey climate change legislation that narrowly passed the U.S. House of Representatives say energy costs will skyrocket if the bill - as it stands now - becomes law. Manufacturing & Technology eJournal asked readers what actions they were most likely take at their company to offset the inevitable increases in energy costs. AND THE RESPONSES WEREN'T VERY ENCOURAGING *More than 17 percent of those who answered said they would have to shut down their business because there is no way they could handle the kinds of increases being predicted. |

What's worst is they do all of this and it has little to no impact on global warming because this is just what the earth does, go through the motions regardless to what we do. Granted there are certain situations that may warrant the government stopping waste dumping or chemical output that affects neighborhoods but all the rest is a farce, a means to profit through another form of exploitation: people's pockets.

Global Warming a moral Issue?
We know Al Gore thinks cooling the Earth is the moral equivalent to freeing the slaves, but the thought is actually more prevalent than just one wacky former Vice President. The eco-freaks are getting desperate. They see their chance at implementing a global economy slipping away -- so they'll do or say anything to get the job done. Ref. Source 9
Global Warming...55 million years ago?
Another little nugget of information for you: SUV's (allegedly) did not exist 55 million years ago BUT, according to scientists, they've found that there was indeed massive global warming 55 million years ago here on Earth. This little revelation prompted one scientist to wonder if all the current climate models are completely wrong. Time for Al Gore to fire up the propaganda machine and discredit another scientist! Ref. Source 4
Here is a Google search of "coldest June" "on record" - several places in the USA are marking this year's June and July as the "coolest" or "coldest" since the 1950s and 60s. Chicago, New York, Boston, New Hampshire, Arizona, Billings, etc. Also, New Zealand had a cold May.
So, which is it? Global warming, or global cooling? I think Carbon-trader Al needs to explain himself (again).

Farseer, they fixed that when they started noticing that the average temperatures have been decreasing for a couple of years. We now refer to it affectionately as Climate Change...and have done away with Global Warming.
Strangely enough, the proponents of Global Warming and Climate Change say that the recent cooling is also evidence of green house gas effects. So basically, if the temperature goes up...it is green house gases. If it goes down, it is green house gases. If it were to remain constant, I suspect that they would claim their programs are working.
