Of course the globe is warming!

I'm not a scientist, nor do I have a bunch of scientific literature stacked up for me to go through for reference. But, to borrow a phrase from a good friend, “I am a thinker”. I read and keep my eyes and ears open to various dialog (after all, I even read your article) and have decided that it is no surprise that there is global warming. After all, it has happened many times in the past, and we weren’t even here then. We just came out of the "Little Ice Age" that started sometime about 1300 A.D. I have also heard reports that the radiant energy from the sun has risen noticeably in the past few decades. The "snowcaps" of Mars have been receding also (are we to blame for that too?). I have also read articles about how natural phenomena, rather than mankind’s feeble environmental contributions, could be the REAL culprit. So, yes, I agree with you that global warming is occurring, but what should we do about it? Perhaps, in order to save the petrochemicals from being used as fuel, we should reinvest in nuclear energy. The new reactors that have been designed are the only source of hydrogen gas that doesn’t cost more energy to produce than you get out of using it for fuel as the hydrogen is produced as a byproduct. That way, we would be able to have electrical energy (can you say goodbye to blackouts and brownouts?) as well as emission free (except for water) fuel for transportation. Then we can REALLY figure out what we CAN do regarding global warming.  
 
PS Where are the enviromentalists standing on NASA's plans to "Terraform" Mars with giant polution generators? Just wondering.
