I was skeptical too. There are a great many factors that affect climate. But what is beyond doubt now is the world is warming. Caused most probably by us burning things for the last 100-200 years. That is now beyond debate
What
is a question is:-
Is Global Warming happening very slowly, slowly, moderately, fast, or very fast?
We need lots of good science to tell us the answers about speed of change. We need lots of good science to give us some solutions
We don't need "Mickey Mouse" Scientists paid for by Exxon Mobil sticking their bib in.
Personally, I would like to err on the side of caution and act as if global warming is a reality. Soon we will know how big a reality it is.
You should read Tim Flannery's book "The Weather Makers". (He is this year's Australian of the Year.) He mentions several crucial 'tipping points' in sea currents etc., that could change the weather in some parts of the world, quickly and drastically. Lets just hope we are lucky and those scenarios don't happen. The fact that they are a possibility has to get you to think carefully about the issue.
