Global Warming is something that most people have heard of. The theory that we are polluting the atmosphere with green house gasses causing it to trap heat within. It may be true that there is a steady pattern around the globe of overall rising temperatures but, does this mean that we are at fault? I think that sometimes we tend to place ourselves in a false position of authority when it come to our environment. We do play a major role in our surroundings but we are not always at fault. The recent warm up may be cause to weather patterns. Between the years of 1000AD and 1300AD there was also a warm period known as the "Medieval Warm Period". This was followed by a cool period known as the "Little Ice Age" ranging from the late 1500s until the late 1800s. Since then there as been a study increase in temperature. Does this mean that we are in another one of these cycles?
