Global Warming: Hoax or Fact?

Despite both sides being awfully backed by extremist environmentalists and, as Mr. Basinger would put it, "hippies", I'm going to have to side with those slightly smart-looking scientists that said global warming is not a direct result of human activity, but rather is all a part of a cycle that has been going on for the past bajillion years.

It's true that the start of the Industrial Revolution did add tons of unnecessary carbon dioxide into the air. However, I don't think we can entirely credit ourselves for causing these giant glaciers in the Antarctic to melt away. The scientists in that super fun video we watched pointed out that carbon dioxide levels would rise almost a hundred years after temperatures spiked. From this we can assume that the two are loosely correlated. In fact, there was a stage of cooling during the middle of the 20th century, which, if we were going by Al Gore's theory, should have been a time of climate warming.

I mean, yeah, it'd be nice if we could reduce our CO2 emissions. However, I don't think it should cost people their jobs. Our economy is already in enough of a rut; we don't want more people that believe their job is secure until retirement to get the pink slip for something that might not even help the environment that much.
