Is global warming a natural phenomenon that we cannot avoid?
what relationship does el nino and la nina has got to do with global warming? are they the causes or effect of global warming? or totally no relation?
Answer:
Natural warming and cooling cycles would exist without human activity. But data collected from ice core samples suggests that such rapid change in Atmospheric temperature and co2 concentration has not occurred in the last 400000 years until now, the dawn of the industrial revolution.

el nino and la nina are not caused by global warming, but their cycle and intensity is effected by it, they along with hurricanes are intensified by higher ocean surface temperature, because water evaporates faster off a warmer surface.
Without man we would be warming at about 1/10 the rate we are now. And that could naturally change, maybe even go to cooling.
With man we're warming 10 times as fast, and it will only get worse.
We need to do something to slow it down.
It's the human race's fault
Instead of trying to deny global warming, blaming others or finding reasons not to take action, look at it like this:
Fact: All our resources are finite.
If we act as if global warming exist, and we were wrong, we will have moved towards a more efficient economy.
If we do nothing, and global warming does exist, the results will be devastating.
It's a NATURAL CYCLICAL event....
Why were "scientists" predicting the next ice age in the 70's?
It's a bunch of political nonsense. Nature generates more CO2 than ANYTHING man does. So should we destroy all of nature to reduce the CO2 production?
