Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?

One of the most controversial and important topics in the world today is the idea of global warming. Climate Change is playing a huge role in politics, foreign relations, and arguments among the scientific communities. Although a majority of scientist believe there is proof of global warming, there are also those who oppose global warming and think it is false.
The internet is filled with articles on global warming, and I have founded two of them, one in support of global warming and one believing it is false. The article in support I found was "Global Warming" by Holli Riebeek in Earth Observatory. By clicking here, the article can be found and you can see the basis of why Global Warming exists. According to the article, Global Warming is happening now, and the evidence can be seen in a .54 degree rise in the world temperature in the past 100 years, the rising of sea levels, and the shrinking of the polar ice caps. The cause for global warming, according to this article was due to CO2 carbon emissions from human use of fossil fuels in cars and natural resources for power plants and factories. Side-effects of global warming will include frequent heat waves and drought, low-lying countries experiencing flooding, and the melting of ice caps and glaciers, which some believe can already be seen.
The opposing article, entitled "Global Warming Proved False" examines the truth about the claims some of the scientist have about global warming and can be found by clicking here. One opinion it looks at involves the Earth's change in temperature being altered by the solar activity of the sun, and a little ice age is soon to come. It also analyzes that the polar ice caps are actually growing, especially, the one in the south, which has grown one million square kilometers in the past three years. Motives of why politicians, scientists, and the media might be in favor of spreading the fear of global warming can be seen in the article and also this video.
My belief is that global warming is false and the Earth goes through natural temperature cycles. My opinion did not change much after reading these articles, but the article in support of global warming did make me rethink that CO2 emissions might be real and could potential be a cause of global warming. Either way, politicians are making decisions on a belief, which may be false.
