what scientists and others refer to as "global warming" is the EXTRA added warming due to human intervention.
the Earth has been going in cycles between ice age and what we have now back and forth for a long time. right now they estimate that we are in the warming mode, but soon (geologically) it should begin cooling again.
human involvement and our massive output of greenhouse gases may impair the next ice age though.
