The whole deal is this...
Global warming IS a cycle, these is no doubt about it. The thing environmentalists are saying, is that man's role is affecting the cycle even more. Greenhouse gases are forcing the change to happen before it is suppose to and the result "flip side" of the warming will not occur as it has in the past, but it will be warmer.
Anyone that says GW is BS, is uneducated. Simply put. If you would like to argue about the reality of this, I can forward you to a few professors I know who have their docterate (or w/e its called) in the environmental studies field, and have studied the effects worldwide for several years. I'm sure other students on the boards could do the same if requested.
