Well, I'm not surprised, for at least the first two. The Falklands I actually had to look up because I've never heard of them. I am guessing there might be alot of factories there....
i think its just a thing the world does every couple hundred years or so
The time between a cooling and heating stage is much longer then that. It is thousands of years. This is why global warming is a bad name. The Earth does go through those stages but human impact is intensifying it. We are also shortening the time between the two stages which can cause horrific consequences. Right now, we are seeing the ice caps melt. There have been a few heat waves in America but not much. Hurricanes build off of warm ocean water and we have already had 6 or more named storms I believe. Let's fast forward 100 years. We will probably all be gone but think of your kids and grandchildren. Coastal life will be no more because of the sea level. Hawaii will probably be gone. Heat waves will strike everywhere with extremely hot conditions. Hurricanes will be stronger and cause worse damage then any hurricane ever seen.
This is why we need to make change now. If we wait until then, it will be too late. Sadly, many people figure it won't affect them and would rather just sit in their energy consuming homes. There are also people who don't even believe in global warming. I don't understand how you can't believe in it. Even if you don't believe in it, why not change to some green materials such as the light bulbs. They save you money. Even though hybrids cost more, look at the gas prices. In the long run, hybrids save you more money. People are just too lazy to care about the world now and this is going to greatly affect the future.
And the reason whi is because CO2 is only a mere 0.38 per cent of the total atmosphere -- or 380 parts per million. Of this amount, only three per cent, or 11.4 parts per million, is man-made, the rest occurring naturally.
Sounds miniscule to me =P. The real danger of the idea of global warming is the politicians who are being stampeded into panic measures.

Think about how big our atmosphere is. .38% is still a chunk of it. This is why I said it would be very hard to stop it but we need to try to give the scientists more time. We are still making a big impact even if we are causing only that small part of it.
It doesn't matter how big or small the percentage is. The problem is that we are still contributing to global warming. If we just lowered our impact a little bit, that could save us a lot of time in the future.

No, before the industrial revolution, CO2 was at 280 ppm in the atmosphere. We have already raised it 100 ppm since then. That is a pretty large increase.
