Answer 1

Well, first you've got these global warming periods at regular 100,000 year intervals (notice how the warming is accompanied by natural increases in CO2):

Answer 2

The problem with your request is that any information you find that the current warming is natural, will be at odds with the findings of the vast majority of actual climate scientists all over the world (thus, probably wrong).  So unless you're assignment is merely to write an argumentative paper and whether you're right or wrong isn't important, you might want to change the position you take on this subject.

Answer 3

use Wiki for a starting point

Answer 4

one can always fiddle with the definition of words here... everything that can be studied by science is natural, including the effects of human activity. better terms are anthropogenic (result of human activity) and non-anthropogenic.

Answer 5

Dana and Ken have it right.

Lets dispell a few pieces of disinformation here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_peti...   dispells the myth about 17,000 scientists who are skeptics on AGW

"Global warming is natural and is nothing new."

http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/12...

"Mars is warming too"    This was used as an argument by Sen Imhofe, whose list of skeptical scientists has been proven to be phoney.

"Global Warming is a Hoax"

http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/11...

"We are now in global cooling"

http://www.skepticalscience.com/Global-c...

"Scientists predicted global cooling in 1972 so why should we believe them now?"

http://www.skepticalscience.com/What-197...

Yeah, I think that was about seven scientists.  The lead scientist recanted in 1975, admitting that he had underestimated the amount of CO2.  There are about 14,000 scientists working with the IPCC, some have been studying global warming for over 30 years.

"Climate models overstate global warming concerns."

"We are headed for a new ice age."

"Where are all the hurricanes predicted?"

"CO2 lags higher temperatures in previoius warmings"

Dispells the notion that climate scientists have been alarmist.  And explains what "consensus" really means.

"Why should the U.S. sign the Kyoto protocall when China and India haven't?"

"Position statements hide scientific debate."

"We are recovering from the Little Ice Age"

"Global Warming stopped in 1998"

I haven't covered them all here, but the scientists have, as can be seen at all these websites.

Answer 6

Hi Ryan, of course some of global warming is natural, but the rapid onset now is, according to many, due to human causes. Be careful of your sources on natural global warming. Oil companies pay big bucks to scientists to say global warming is due only to natural causes. You can do a google search on funding and then the name of the scientist you are quoting.

Answer 7

Global warming is natural sometimes.

The current global warming is not.

You need to specify which you're talking about.

Answer 8

Let's see how logical you are?

Do you know that ALL Heat dissipates?

Did you know the Earth was a flaming ball of Magma billions of years ago?

Now it has a VERY THIN crust under the oceans - with a very hot Core:

Have you ever wondered why the ICE AGES?

Could ICE AGES be the norm. for Earth?

Have you heard that China experienced record cold that dates back about 800 years?

Did you know the Sun's 'internal dynamo' and magnetic fields have virtually shut down?

We had better hope & pray it starts up again!

Answer 9

Google James Spann. He's a meteorologist in Bham Alabama. You should be able to get all you need from him.

Answer 10

This first link is a conference recently held in NYC.  Look up the scientists listed in here to find their research on global warming.

http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pa...

This second link is a guy that has written multiple articles showing the crazy methods being used by global warming alarmists to skew the data in their favor.

http://www.americanthinker.com/jerome_j_...

The alarmists won't like either one, but ignore them.  They have kool-aid stains on their upper lips.
