That has been my position ever since read about the greenhouse effect. The argument that it's man made may be true,I really don't know.
I'm convinced global warming is a reality and that we need to prepare for it. What if it's NOT man made and we've put in all that effort and money? Well,we'll have cheaper, cleaner energy sources,to supplement/replace a diminishing resource,and we'll have cleaner air and water, things we need anyway.
Of course,our coastal cites will be under water,so perhaps a good time to start thinking of moving inland a bit.
If global warming IS man made and we ignore the harm we're doing and hope for best,we're fucked.
BUT I'm not convinced it's either/or, I think it makes makes sense to accept that it's as likely to be both. Natural, major periodic climate changes are not a secret. I'm simply not able to make an informed assessment either way.The arguments contradict and the science is beyond me.
