Global warming exists, just the same as global cooling. The question still remains if there is a direct correlation between us as humans burning fossil fuels, and the effect that has on global warming.
I for one think that the climate is too complex a system to make such a simplistic connection.

In the early 70s when you would think that CO2 levels would be high after the post war boom.
I think you hit the nail right on the head by saying that this is a complex issue and that there needs to be concrete solution one way or another before very expensive economic policies are made.
We are far from that conclusion right now.
