Haven't we established as a world that climate change is just a phase the Earth goes through?

you did exactly what i said i wasn't doing, took it as a personal attack towards you. i pmed you since you feel the need to argue so much.
first off, false. have you never heard anything about the disappearing and receding glaciers around the world? and secondly it changes weather patterns of where snow falls. My major is environmental studies and I'm currently in a class that specializes in weather and the atmosphere. *Climate* change doesn't cause everywhere in the entire world to warm up, some places might actually get colder. There is a high concern that our big mono crops and agriculture will be drastically affected by the changing weather and temperatures because certain crops only grow in certain conditions.
I feel like its more of an issue of what actually makes it into the mainstream news. Something may be published but if no news station is picking up and of the information then the general public wont know anything about it. And that might be were some kind of censorship plays a role, maybe not intentionally though.
most crops are in the mid-west like ohio, and california and folorida.
also side note, rising temperatures even in just some parts of the ocean can cause some really gnarly storms, as in destructive. Don't know if anyone's ever studied hurricanes but a small paper I had to do was eyeopening.

People need to realize that everything on this planet is interconnected in some little way and together we effect and shape what the earth is today. If you went back in time to 1600 in the US, the place would be covered in dense forest. We have reshaped the earth with roads, cities cars and taken away LOTS of forest which help in the recylcing of co2 and in return we have made millions of vehicals that pump out gases that were once taken in by the 300 million acres of forest ( accounts for the amount of forest covering the us in 1600) which no longer exists. How can it be more clear? If we take away what absorbs and clears the atmosphere of co2 and add more things that add co2 obviously there is going to be an excess.
Co2 gets also gets cycled into the ocean, because of the loss of forest the co2 sinks into the ocean causing the acidification of our oceans. This poses a problem for marine life and especially crustaceans since their shells are at risk of degrading with the raised acidity. Global warming isn't something that will quickly happen its a very slow process and its foolish to think that we have no impact on earth since its so big. Eventually we will turn things around. Air quality back in the 90s used to be worse than it is today. People were able to make derrastic changes in the emissions of aerosols and other pollutants because of cheaper technology. Once we find a cheap way to convert off of fossil fuels or when oil becomes to expensive everything will change.
I had a conversation with my friends dad about this and I got into such a big argument. He was trying to tell me forest fires and volcanoes account for global warming still after my reasoning.
