I certainly believe the globe is warming but so what? The geological record shows the earth has warmed and cooled many times in the past. This warming and cooling has happen in the past without the contribution of man, think ice age when the polar ice covered large sections of the world and then receeded. If man were alive at the peak of the last ice age and then the world started to warm and the ice melted raising the sea level, man would of had the same conversation. I always get a chuckle out of how "in control" man thinks he is of his enviroment. It's kind of like driving a car, you feel you have all of the control in the world until you have an accident and then you realize how little control you really had. Man builds all kinds of structures trying to control the enviroment, think of sea walls, levees and e.t.c. and then a force of nature comes along and wrecks it. Look what has happened with man's attempts at protecting coast lines from storms or man's attempt to control small enviroments with domed stadiums and then snow builds up and collapes the roof and the artifical enviroment created by man is exposed to the real enviroment created by Mother Nature. Let's not forget many of the credible scientist in the 1970's were talking about mini-ice age and global cooling
