I have a question though. Everybody says ignore the weather because it is not climate. That makes total sense. And people say ignore downward trends because that only last say five years max (as of recently). But how much data do you need to say that it is for sure a warming trend and it is for real or just an anomaly is 30 year enough? 100 years? Say we take the last 1000 years than thirty years is probably a significant trend but if we are looking at hundred of thousands or years or millions of year, then the last 30 years is just a blip on the radar.

I think a lot should be done to stop pollution, but we still have issues like acid ran, solid waste, polluted water. Thing that the world can make a lot of improvement on. And yet all this money, which I believe could be used better is being spent on global warming prevention. I do agree that if we are unsure, the safest bet is to assume we are causing global warming, but I'm worried this "problem" if it even is one, is taking away from a lot of other issues in the world.
