The Global Warming Cycle
ive been thinking of how exactly to flip the whole "natural cycle" arguement agenst itself and have came up with a roller coaster analogy:

yes global warming is a natural cycle, similar to that of a roller coaster, the earth warms and cools over time, much like how a roller coaster cart speeds up and slows down over time. for the most part the cycles can be rather predictable and depended apon for continued human existance(the carts staying on the track). but pollution is an effect simmilar to loading the roller coaster with lots of weight, the cart tends to require much more force to slow down. at the rate humanity is putting pollution into the air, its similar to overloading the roller coaster, fitting as many people as you can into the same cart, causing even more inertia, too the point where the wheels start to actualy lift off the track slightly. to argue that this is just another part of the coasters natural cycle would be foolish, increased overloading will at one pooint cause the cart to lift compleatly off the track, loosing the traction to make the next turn, slamming into the ground and causing a lot of damage. just because theres a natural cycle dosn't mean it can't be augmented by outside forces.
