Let me heat that up for you... 
My opinions: (This could be epic)

According to graphs and data and other scientific maths things nobody understands, yes, it is a cycle, but there is much more CO2 in the atmosphere than ever before. Apparently, because CO2 is a greenhouse gas (along with methane and others) more heat is kept in and therefore heats the earth. It has been proven that ice caps are melting and such, but the relationship between CO2 and global temperatures is disputed. I watched a video recently that stated that the temperature rises are more related to solar activity rather than CO2 levels.

Also, as stated previously, it is a cycle, and even Al Gore in his documentary An Inconvenient Truth claims that we will go into another ice age if global warming continues, because if the polar ice caps melt cold water will screw up the ocean currents meaning all the water goes cold and therefore causing an ice age or something.

Al Gore said that the CO2 levels are linked with temperatures and 'proved' this with yet another graph. He thinks that the CO2 levels cause changes in temperature, but my theory is: What if the [b]temperature[/i] changes are causing the changine CO2 levels. I have never even heard a single person say this, yet it is such a good idea. Rising temperatures leads to more life, more life means more CO2, when the temperatures drop everything dies off meaning less CO2 is put into the atmosphere. Could this be possible?

So, basically some people think that CO2 levels cause temperature change, others think solar activity causes it, and others still think nothing is happening. Well, you have been living under a massive, cold rock if you don't beleive anything is happening. Yes, there is definitely a rise in temperature. But I don't beleive that it is caused by CO2 levels. I think that whatever causes temperature changes (be it solar activity or some other event) causes the CO2 levels to change with it.

Anyone agree with me?
