Global Warming?

This doesn't make sense, El Nina just shifts the temperatures (hotter Australia = cooler North America) it is entirely within the system and doesn't cause global temperature change.

"El Niño/La Niña is a naturally occurring 2-7 year cycle of the ocean-atmosphere system in the Tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather and climate around the globe"

Since when is temperature not part of the weather and/or climate? :f6:

Anywho, Stereo's right. The possibility of it having anything to do with "global warming" is little to none.

Doesn't the Snowball Earth theory support high CO2 levels before an ice age?
I don't see what there's to argue about sometimes. Why should there be? I figured there was never a debate over whether or not the Earth is getting hotting, but how fast it's occurring. We should stop debating over whether or not the phenomenon exists, and even if it doesn't (<.<), we should start making more policies to limit emissions in any case. Greenhouse gases don't just reflect heat back at the Earth, the nitrous oxides and sulfur dioxides we love to put out in our air mix with the naturally occuring CO2, O2, and H20 and cause acid rain, and that's reason enough.
