chilting,
I do agree that the climate is changing.
However that has always been so, even before humans walked the earth. The climate will always change as per the earths history of having periods of tropical climate and periods of ice age. The climate changes as it moves from one extreme and back again to the other. This has happened for millions of years. This can't be stopped !
Some may argue that we are adding to a move torwards a more tropical climate again, due to human Co2 emmitions. This would naturally happen anyway though,as per history of the earth.
"But the pace of change has been accelerated due to humans", I here you cry ! - From memory reading articles, human Co2 emmitions peaked in the 70's and 80's. We have reduced our emmitions and are continuing to do so.
We must however be very careful not to reduce emmisions at such a fast rate that we destroy the world's energy supplies and thus cause famine, world war and millions of deaths through starvation and hunger. This could be a lot worse for mankind than what path we tred today !
