What do we know about global warming? For starters…it’s warm, which hasn’t been the case in recent years, as the weather is putting on display some rather strange behavior. Snow in Middle East, China under heavy snow storms, that is something to think about as it puts face to face to opposite phenomena: global warming and lower temperatures.

Global warming critics and advocates have been engaged in such controversial matter for some time now, and the questions that appear from this situation in particular doesn’t make it any easier. Are we melting, or are we preparing for global cooling, one might ask. It’s no wonder relying on a weather forecast became quite tricky, as we are usually in for unexpected surprises.

Both the warming and the cooling of the Earth have a scientific base, and a logical explanation for the strange to predict weather. Our planet has been submitted to alternating warm and cold periods, and is now thought to have entered the global warming phase. At the same time, this doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t have any ‘cold’ phenomena around.

However, scientists still debate whether this is indeed a global warming period, or the global warming ended and we are entering a cooling phase. So, what are we heading for? Every theory has a reverse, and it became hard to explain what is actually going on with our planet. Are we heading for a global pool or for a giant sheet of ice?

One thing people are starting to focus on is greenhouse emission reduction, which is not bad at all, but at the same time doesn’t assure us that global warming will stop, or stop affecting us. If we get to think of it, what we are trying to control is actually beyond our power of understanding, we are just trying to figure things out, but who knows what Mother Nature has in store for us?
