Yes.

Primarily man-made, though it's possible that there is a natural
component as well.

I believe that temperatures have been rising. This does not mean they will
continue to do so indefinitely. (y/n isn't possible)

I tend to the view that the activities of one small part of nature (humans) is
by definition a natural effect so this is a natural warm cycle which will end in
its own good time.

The last graph I looked at (the British one), kindly provided by a member here,
suggested a certain amount of levelling was under way ... time will tell.

Natural with possibly a small man-made contribution.

I do believe that the current fluctuations of extreme
weather around the globe are largely caused by the
activities of mankind.

Human records are too short time span, to assess, whether natural or
man-made. Though on the betting side, I would go for about 70%
man-made, 30% natural.

Yes, you cant deny a warming trend over the last 30 years.


2. If you answered Yes to #1, do you think it is a natural or man-made

Primarily a natural warming cycle, possibly accelerated to an extent
by Human activity. Are weather extremes more frequent and severe? or
are we just finding more because for the simple reason that we are
looking for them like never before and associating them with climate
change? All good news for the tabloids.

Yes, it's very hard to deny a global warming trend over the last 30
years ( particularly the last 15 years)

Primarily a natural warming cycle, probably accelerated to an extent
by Human activity. Are weather extremes more frequent and severe? or
are we just finding more for the simple reason that we are
looking for them so intently and associating them with climate
change? All good news for the tabloids.

Yes, I do believe there is Global Warming (Climate Change), but I do
not beleive it is Man-Made

The Sun has an influence that is infinitely more powerful than man.

We are just experiencing a particular part of a very long cycle, or
many overlapping smaller cycles.

That doesn't mean we should continue polluting our planet though,
cleaner technologies are a benefit to everyone & every living
creature.

The governments/industries of the world should start investing in
cleaner technologies, and stop blaming Joe Public and taxing them to
high heaven.

However, it is easier to keep taxing the Joe Public for a commodity
(oil) that is fast running out instead of inventing cleaner technology
that doesn't attract taxes.

Oil = Control + Tax
Clean Energy = NO CONTROL MINUS TAX

Yes, but I don't think the planet has warmed as much as is reported. Almost
every thermometer in the world now receives more heat directly from
man-made sources (heat island effect).

Almost entirely natural.

The heat island effect in part 1 must be directly warming the planet to a
degree (no pun intended). Also there are a lot more humans on this plant
that 100 years ago - that 6 billion radiators, has this ever been taken
into account? Are their more animals too?
