The Debate:

Critics	Proponents	Critics	Proponents
The climate changes naturally over time. The warming we are now experiencing is due to the fact that we are emerging from an ice age which ended in the 17th century.	While it's true we are coming out of a mini ice age, the rate of warming over the past century has been greater than experienced any time in the past 400 to 600 years. Therefore, something else must be occuring.	No argument.
