I don't think humans have caused global warming.  If this  is the hottest its been this century than what about last century.  It must have gotten this hot at some point.  If we are causing it now that how did it cool down a hundred years ago.

In a way I agree but maybe it can be slowed down.  

My idea is sort of bad towards people but needed so need over rides people's freedom to be stupid.  Force them to is how or with some war stopping them from doing things as they did or making something that destroys technology.

Well...there are a lot of factors to global warming, too many cars, hybrids are helpful, but not the solution...stop thinking there's nothing we can do because that'll only make it worse...recycling is good, but not using more than we need is even better...so on, this is what an environmental science course will do for ya :p...there are a lot of other reasons why humans are accelerating their demise...really at our pace, we won't have this planet for much longer....

Stupid greed, and laziness has to do with people accelerating it.

There are natural climate cycles.  There are of course fluctuations in temperature and variations in the intensity of different cycles, but humans are intensifying the warming of global temperatures due to emission of greenhouse gases.  Our influence on the climate system is much greater than you seem to think.

This is true. The Earth does go through cycles in temperature. For example, how did the Ice Age happen? If the Earth can cool down to extremes, then it certainly can warm up to extremes by itself. The Earth is simply on a normal rise in temperature, but humans and our technology have intensified this effect by releasing greehouse gases. The Earth started it, but humans kept it going.

I think a lot of it is natural... We have an ice age every 100,000 years or so.  Our last one was 10,000 years ago.  Doesn't that mean that it should be getting slowly hotter over the next 40,000 years, before falling into the next ice age again?

Also, they're saying that it increased by like 1 degree in 300 years.  How accurate were the thermometers 300 years ago?  Not nearly as much as they are today.

Global warming is just a way to get on people's good side by saying, "We need to do something about this!" but, they never do.

We need to engineer a grass that is 500% inefficent in carbon usage and spread it around vast areas. Basically it will be used as a giant carbon sink. Another theory is to seed the ocean with iron, which causes massive photoplakton blooms, which again act like carbon sinks.

Recycle, walk/bike, use more efficient ways to produce energy (wind/water), use those swirly lightbulbs. A person came to our school and spoke to us about it. It's so scary to see what we're doing. I recomment watching the movie "An Inconvienient Truth" on youtube. It's incredibly terrifying but so important!!
