Does Gobal Warming really exis

             Does Global Warming really exist? Many scientists don't believe it does. According to very accurate satellite atmospheric temperature measurements, the earth has actually cooled by 0.13 degrees Celsius since 1979. Not only that, but the artic, which everyone is so concerned about melting, has cooled by 0.88 degrees Celsius over the past fifty years. According to scientists, the earth's temperature now, is below the global average of the last 3000 years. Not only that, but there were numerous times when the earth was much warmer then what it is today.
             How much of the greenhouse effect is caused by humans? Apparently, only about 0.28% of it is caused by human. Water vapor is the main culprit for the earth's greenhouse effect. Water vapor accounts for about 95% of the earth's greenhouse effect. The thing about that is water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. The other greenhouse gases are, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and some other miscellaneous gases. These are also mostly of natural origin. Human activities contribute slightly to greenhouse gases, but these emissions are so small, that even the best efforts to contain it, would have none to a very small impact on the global climate. Mankind is actually one of the smaller contributors of CO2. It is a fact that the majority of the CO2 being put into our atmosphere comes from natural sources. The contributions made by human beings to these gases that are turned loose in our atmosphere are less than 10 percent of the total.
             According to Congresswoman Dana Rohrabacher of California "Volcanic activity, for example, can add more to the atmosphere in a few weeks than all the internal combustion engines on this planet over the last decade. Termites and other insects, for example, are such a large source of CO2, and it is a larger source of CO2 than all of the industrial plants in the civilized world. Rotting wood is another offender
