Confused about Global Warming? Ask a Geologist.


Is global warming really happening?  Global warming “advocates” claim that rising temperatures endanger the earth and our lives.  Warming “deniers” claim there is no global warming at all.  Who’s right?  Is there any way to know what’s really going on with the climate?  Most of the evidence you hear in the media comes from meteorological data (weather records).  But there are only about 150 years of reliable meteorological data to work with.  That’s a pretty small database to forecast what will happen in the future, or even to understand what’s going on right now.  Is there any way to get a longer-term view of the problem?  Yes, there is.  Just ask a geologist.
