Hoax

This is my problem with the whole 'global warming' hoax. Why do I call it a hoax in the first place? Because the earth is just going through it's cycles. I look at it this way. The earth itself is how many billion years old? It's gone through an ice age, reversal of the poles, earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, and the list goes on. The earth is doing it's thing it's way.

We humans have only been here for only a few thousand years. Therefore I can't believe that some plastic bags, water bottles and CO2 the earth naturally creates is posing any threat.

This is what's been happening for billions of years. You've gotta remember something. Were on a planet in an ever changing solar system. There are millions of things that are gonna happen that are out of our control. Though it may be scary at times. I'm actually a little sick that were being blamed for something we have no control over.

However just like most people, they've gotta find someone to post blame on. Because to the religious community. Evolution doesn't exist. To the scientific community, there's proof of evolution.

Just look at the minerals, gems and fuels we use on a daily basis. There's no way humans can even begin to know where to create such forces.

Diamonds are a fine example of this. Think of the millions of pounds it takes to make just one. The closest we've gotten to making a diamond actually worth something is the cubic zirconia. Because there's no way we can mimic, let alone control what the earth does. It's a constant cycle of life.

Extinction is another example of how the earth does what it does. We have dinosaur fossils. We know they once existed, but now they don't. There are some close relatives to them but not them. It's mother nature taking it's toll. Clearing out one for another. 

Never know, maybe this bio fuel, electric cars, and organic stuff is actually hurting the environment. Don't you think mother nature put all this stuff on earth for us to use for a reason? It takes organic, natural compounds to make rubber and plastic. Without certain elements existing in nature. We wouldn't have them.

There's my debate about it. Earth is a tricky 'woman'. Hence "mother earth". She's gonna have it her way no matter what we do. We're probably just yet another era in her existence.
