Global warming due to planetary trends?

According to Rasmussen Reports, "an electronic publishing firm specializing in the collection, publication, and distribution of public opinion polling information":

Forty-four percent (44%) of U.S. voters now say long-term planetary trends are the cause of global warming, compared to 41% who blame it on human activity.

Seven percent (7%) attribute global warming to some other reason, and nine percent (9%) are unsure in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
Your thoughts?

I believe it is a planetary trend. More and more scientist now believe that the warmest period was during the 1998 through 2004 time frame. They also believe that we could be in a cooling trend for the next several years.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that I've always believed it was a planetary trend. There have been temperature swings throughout history and I believe this is more of it. I think we obviously also have to be responsible for the poor conditions of our planet's air, water and land and make the neccessary changes to better care for our resources.
