Global Warming

Ok I read the article and I am probably going to be considered to be a skeptic here. I am taking into account there is a weather change going on and i am not disputing that fact, but is it something we have done or is is a cycle that the earth is going through For instance how long have we actually been recording temperatures? How long have we been able to use satillite images to see the ice caps and the changes?

I guess I am swayed by what my grandfather told me, who by the way would have been 95 this February, he remembers it being rather warm in the 30s and then it returned to being cold and people were not too concerned then in the 50's we went through a warm streak again and at that time they said it was nucelar fall out from the war and all the testing that the goverment had been doing, then we leveled out. Now we seem to be discussing it again. Now I have been watching the weather for our area and paying alot of attention to the record highs and record lows for our area and I did notice even though we had a mild winter that alot of times the records were not broken for the highs.

I guess I am saying somethings we can control but there are some we cant like the evloving of the world. Remember there was an ice age we were not there and we did not have control of that and the scientist say that all the land masses use to be connected we had no control of them dividing so I guess what I am saying there are some things you just cannot control and one being the weather.
