Dispute theWhich evidence that global Human activities side of the debate do you want to be on? such as industrial warming is anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and Some believe Earth isnt even warming
deforestation are bringing potentially dangerous changes to the Earth's climate

SOME BACKGROUND

The greenhouse effect of a particular gas depends on two things:
