    That's the problem though, despite the mounting evidence in favour of Human made climate change, it can't be conclusively stated that it is definitely Humans causing the global climate to change. As such anyone who might be hurt by having to make changes in how they do things in order to protect the environment can say quite rightly that it isn't proven. Of course the worst case senario isn't Humans doing all the damage, its if Humans aren't causing the damge. If it is us that means we are capable of stopping climate change before it gets too bad. If it isn't us then we are truly screwed because we'll have no way of stopping it.

    Well youre right, climate shifts have been proven, and in some cases they have been erratic.  Much of whats happened, at least in this region, can be blamed on the phenomenon of El Nino, which is a temperature fluctuation in oceans, which we know can change just about everything in weather, even a slight change.  Whats happened in this year particularly has been an odd jet stream which has given regions milder temperatures than usual.  This was followed up by constant low pressure areas around oceanic parts of the Eastern USA, which meant cities bordering lakes got socked, meanwhile the rest of the storms were just carried out to see, not affecting the mainland.  Today we actually got quite a bit of snow, but it was still a warmer system than what should have come, so instead of a blizzard we got a sleetstorm.  While these phenomenon must be figured to be natural occurances, the fact everything is further out of whack than usual does beg the question, 'why?'

    So in essence, I agree. But Im sure the penguins can save us

    I reckon it is down to Humans that the climate is changing and that it is within our power to stop it from happening, even if it is out of our own selfish, economic interest.
    One thing I do dislike is every freak weather incident being put down to global warming. We'd have freak weather incidents without any global warming, acting like every single one is down to it just ticks me off.
