People have been blaming hurricanes etc on global warming, which is blamed on modern industries and human activities. In earth's history, there had been very cold and hot times prior to human history. I agree that human activities have caused lots of pollution of air and water, but the spinning of the earth and its changing axis and the degrees of facing the sun has much large impact on the changing of the earth's temperature than human activities. If only human activities can cause global warming, how can it be explained that earth had seen much hot days before humans' time? Sincerely, Minghu Sheila curious student of science
