Good post, glad to see you are wanting to learn with your own brain.
Just look at climate change over millions of years, its perfectly natural and nobody on Earth could stop it, not all the taxes in the world because
its a natural thing to happen.
The causes?
Different variations!, most of it is caused by our continents moving along its tectonic plates, very slow process, its what happening deep inside our
earth, volcanoes and the like.
Also we have a thing called the chandler wobble, this wobble to the earth does vary, its not precise over and over again, its variable.
Every year, ice does a mini retreat every summer and builds back up, sometimes because of the wobble, ice bilds up if we are slightly tilted for
longer than should be.
Ok we have a small impact on our climate, we really shouldnt be cutting the Amazon down as carbon gets sucked in by plants, but as long as we have
rain, carbon should get washed out back into the soil and back down near subduction zones where the process reapeats itself with carbon coming from
Volcanoes and the like.
I personaly think this rise of carbon and heat is like any other sharp rise we have had before.
Did you notic Al Gore only gave data about climate change from the last ten thousand years. lol millions of years of data would give the complete
picture of graphs.
We are still officially in an ice age.
