After years of some people believing and others being skeptical over the existence of global warming, it has been deemed a fact and no matter how we look at it, the hard truth is that humans may be causing part of it, but Mother Nature is causing the other part. If we continue to haggle over whether global warming is a real threat or not, we are wasting our time and resources of not finding a viable solution to global warming and are putting our planet at greater risk.
The believers think the increased temperatures of the earth prove that global warming exists as the main problem and it should be taken seriously. The skeptics believe the increase in temperature is just a natural happening, and if there is...
