Actually, to be really persnickety, Global Warming is the unnatural change, Global Climate Change is the (much more limited) natural cycle.

You have my point of view exactly!  I think that global warming may be influenced by humans but it is definitely a natural cycle.  But I don't think this means we should just sit and let the Earth rot around us!  We can still do more to help our environment.  Here is a short-ish list of easy things! 1.use reusable bags, these help cut down on waste. If you can't do this, many grocery stores have a bag2bag program where they turn old plastic bags into new ones. Also don't use paper bags for lunches, instead use a reusable one.  2.Take shorter showers. Some people say 5 min is best but this is hard to do, instead shoot for 10-15min showers and cut out baths except for every once in a while because they waste the most water. 3)Do the easy things. Turning off the water when you brush your teeth, turning off lights, and getting leaks fixed fast are all easy ways to help the environment. 4)This ones most important: RECYCLE (and reuse) Check with your local recycling plant but usually they take all of this: all paper (newspaper, magazines, loose-leaf, etc), any plastic marked with a little 1 or 2 inside the recycle triangle (you have to take the caps off of bottles because they can't be recycled, and never put plastic bags into the recycling ever), also they take soda cans.  Ask about glass it varies.  And give away old clothes, furniture, whatever. There are stores all over the place that will accept your old stuff (Goodwill) along with clothing places that will do trades!

It's easy to help the environment! Just make little changes!

Yeah, I agree. We've had some hot summers for the last few years, but this summer there haven't been half the sweltering days there have been. Speaking of plastic bags, a good way to reuse them is to carry library books in.

Hey did you know global warming goes both ways? Because it's messing with the air temperature it means that the weather will be weird. In colder places it will cool down and become a more temparate zone (Tell us if you have a normal amount of snow this winter). In warmer places it will just keep heating up.

Just because it's called global warming does not mean that all places are going to get a lot warmer.  A more accurate name is climate change. We in oregon are having a very weird summer, in fact I'm looking out the window right now and it is a bit overcast.  In August!  Also we had a very rainy spring and as a result, not very good pollination. We have twenty-something blueberry bushes and no blueberries (Usually we have them in mid July). 

I haven't heard anything about "the second ice age about forty years ago". It must have been pretty small. I think that there's something most of you are missing about global warming however, as it won't make your summer this year suddenly hotter. It's a gradual process that will take years, as climate zones shift North. I am a "global warming person", as you say, but I live in New York. I don't know why people down South would say it's getting hotter either, but that's besides the point. You need to try to do some research, getting reliable information, like from real scientists. There are places that will try to trick you tough, for example, the Heartland Institute, which has received millions of dollars in funding form the Exxon-Mobile corporation, a gigantic  multi-national company which sells oil. Sound reliable? I encourage you to go out and try to find hard facts, which might not be easy to do because you're already opposed to the idea, but you seem smart enough. The movie An Inconvenient Truth would be a good place to start.
