Why it rains like this?

Dear friends global warming is a true phenomenon. If you don't believe it, it's left to you. But please don't blame others for what they believe.............atleast in this case you are in darkness. Open your eyes my fellow earthlings. We have done enough damage to our fragile planet. Please go through this link http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/basicinfo.html which has enough scientific evidences about global warming,its cause and effect. Thank you for your co-operation. Lets's start doing our part to save our planet.

Since the day the planet earth was born from a fireball (if you believe the big bang theory), it has been cooling down. The process has been continuing for an estimated 4500 million years. In between, the cooling curve has reversed for brief periods lasting over 20000-25000 years. There is enough proof of this in the scientific literature. These are called periods of global warming. The earth got over the last ice age (ice age can roughly be defined by the existence of glaciers way below the ice line) about 11000 years ago - and technically that is when the present global warming started. We, your fellow earthlings, didnt have much to do with the onset of the global warming, nor are we, with our present level of technology, in a position to alter, halt or even slow down the warming in any appreciable way. We may think we are helping the cause when we switch off a few lights or walk a few kilometers instead of riding cars, but it requires more than this to change the ways of mother nature. "Our fragile earth" is not half as fragile as we think it is. It is strong enough to survive and live on even after a nuclear holocaust, and very patiently give rise to new life forms for millions of years to come. You and I wont be here to observe that, but even then this periodic warming cycles will continue till the earth is reduced to an icy planet, which is the inevitable end. Climatic changes brought on by global warming will last for another 11000 years no matter what we do or dont do
