What Do You Believe about Environment and Global Warming

Two major camps seem to dominate this terrain.

The first would have you believe that the earth's environment is under immediate threat by technological contribution - automotive, industrial, commercial, residential - and that nothing short of an overnight reduction of our individual carbon footprints will save the earth from annihilation. Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of the earth.

The second camp would have you believe that the above-mentioned contributors are just that - contributors - and that the underlying cause of the ongoing global shifts is the sun. Those point to patterns of sunspot timing and climatological change, and see correlations back through the millenia.

There are other camps of varying intensity and generation. Recycling does not bind a person to one camp in particular.

What do YOU believe?
