However, you need to put it into prospective. Climate change is cyclical. It happens pure and simple. Are we effecting it by our emissions, I believe we are. But the question is how much?
I get ****ed when all these people come out saying WE ARE RESPONSIBILE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE. No were not. It is a natural thing. We may be contributing to it in some way but we really dont know how much and that is the problem. Kyoto WILL NOT stop or prevent climate change.

Natural climate change is cyclical. What humans are doing is not cyclical, and in fact, it is the first time in the history of the planet that a species has been able to affect natural cycles.
Saying that climate change is natural and therefore it doesn't matter if we make it change or accelerate it, is like saying; forest fires occur naturally, so why does it matter if campers start them too.
The point is, natural phenomenas have a way of balancing and correcting themsleves. Human induced phenomena have a way of making changes that the natural systems cannot absorb properly. It may also cause massive extinctions that otherwise would not happen since the rate of climate change is faster than nature can compensate for, or would usually allow under normal circumstances..
