'round and 'round

The 'global warming' issue is, while a truth of the Earth's natural cycle, not something that humans have caused. The planet has, from all scientific data recovered, gone from various high temperatures, to low temperatures, and back again. Many times over, no less. And it will continue to do so, regardless of human interaction. Nor should it be interfered with, lest dire consequences be wrought upon the planet. CO2 emissions have risen massively from human industrialization, as proven by many separate research experiments. But the effect of this increased CO2 is not, as some will claim, increased temperatures. In fact, the highs of global CO2 rates have been found to lag behind the temperature spikes by approximately 800 years, and the same with the lows. So, in effect, it's the other way around; high temperatures are the cause of high CO2. With this being the case, one must be weary of those who claim that the rising CO2 will make the world a warmer place. Honestly, claims of any extremes should be looked at cautiously, since the past hundred or so years have been wrought with alarmist claims of either a sudden catastrophic ice age, or a global meltdown of epic proportions. Just like the cycle of global temperatures rising and falling, so too has the media's focus on how the world will end. Yet, since these claims began, the world has been moving steadily forward in technological advancement, making the lives of many millions of people better and safer around the world.
