Global warming AND cooling are naturally occuring cycles in the earths history. The cause is dependent upon the amount of the suns energy that warms the ocean conveyor.

Answer:

Global warming is a result of the greenhouse effect. This is, in part, a natural process that collects heat in the Earth's atmosphere allowing it to be warmer than it would be as a ball of rock with no atmosphere. Presently in the news you read about global warming which is caused by a manmade increase in the greenhouse gas content of the atmosphere. These gases (carbon dioxide, methane and others) are at concentrations higher than those naturally present. This allows the Earth to become warmer than it naturally would in a quicker timeframe. This warmer atmosphere warms the oceans melting the ice in glaciers and the poles reducing the reflectivity of the Earth and releasing carbon dioxide from the permafrost. Both of these impacts further increase the rate at which heat is absorbed by the Earth causing further warming.
