We're apart of nature. We couldn't really do anything that wasn't technically natural. Even if it is caused by us it's apart of nature's way. We won't literally destroy the Earth, I believe the max damage we will do will be righted by it's becoming uninhabitable to us, but not for the less developed, more instinctual creatures. One of which may find the conditions ideal to become king of the food chain, and may even become the next 'humans' ready to leave their permanent natural mark on the planet. All of this aside, I feel global warming could be caused by the sun. Side: Natural

Uhhh... Both! The climate has always changed, but referring to the greenhouse effect increasing, that's man made. We make a hell of a lot of greenhouse gasses with intensive farming and combustion, and destroy forests which help to convert them. Of course that's going to have an effect. Side: Natural

Mankind is a very egotistic species. It would never be a reasonable conclusion for them to accept the futility of their efforts and the helplessness of reality. We must conclude this for the sanity of mankind, regardless of if our efforts pull results or not. Let them recycle out of superstition and use renewable resources as they may. If it gives humanity comfort than so be it. Side: Man Made

Measurable climate change comes from CO2 emissions which man emits several tones of every single day. I don't normally trust statistics, but before 2000, climate variations were measured in less than a degree farenheight, now year to year climates can vary by multiple degrees, this is an alarming trend but it's origin is no doubt man made and what man has made he can reverse.
