Climate change is one of the top environmental issues, with liberals and conservatives evenly divided on whether recent global warming is more natural or man-made.
The main contention of environmentalists like Al Gore is the argument that:
- The earth's atmosphere warmed one or two degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 Centigrade) during the 20th century.
- Most of this warming is man-made.
- The warming is likely to continue and to be harmful to human, animal and plant life.
- We must all work together to stop it by reducing emission of "greenhouse gases".
