A thought on Global Warming...

There are people today who are refuting the idea that global warming is happening. As evidence they take a survey of a short span of time and say there has been no rise in temperature and therefore there is no global warming. I read one headline that said temperatures were actually going down. I tend to believe this in the short term. I believe this because the polar ice caps are the planets natural cooling system and these ice caps are breaking apart, falling into the ocean, and cooling the sea temperature.

The problem is that the ice caps are melting - if they melt away completely there will be no more cooling system. Then this planet will really start heating up in earnest.

So yes, in the short term temperatures may actually drop. But that will only be temporary.

Those are my thoughts anyway.

What do you think?
