    Sounds like us as well. But those big bags are good for a lot of other things as well.......in fact, punch a few holes in one and I suspect you could grow some nice potatoes!😁

    Yes, it's true, the Earth’s climate does go through natural cycles of warming and cooling. But the current warming this century is completely out of sync with previous cycles, extremely rapid and the gain in temperature is huge. It's caused by anthropogenic (man-made) factors due to human activities such as burning coal, oil and gas for energy and cutting down trees to make way for agriculture. What is happening now to the extent it is can't be explained by natural factors alone. Global temperatures have been rising for over a century, accelerating in the past 30 years, and are now the highest since records began. The overwhelming scientific data and opinion supports these facts. Few scientist, and their number is reducing, believe in the contrary as more data and satellite imaging proves human activity needs to address the concerns. It is those anthropogenic factors which are now being addressed.
