I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too horrifying
So I'm sittin on a fence

Iono. The fact that tropical plant and animal fossils are found in arctic zones, as well as atop mountains, indicates some pretty drastic climate changes have already taken place.
I presume dino factories, dino cars, and the lavish dino style of living created the dinogenic climate change the dinosaurs put their world through. Sadly, the dino deniers didn't listen to the dino warmers.

Also, something needs to be done about the sun and volcanos as they simply have too much control over our climate, perhaps a tax  or other regulatory measure?

Skipmuck:
For the record, Koch says this of climate change: “You can plausibly say that CO2 has contributed” to the planet's warming, but he sees “no evidence” to support “this theory that it's going to be catastrophic.”

China and India pollute as much, if not more than the US -- I think data for that is easy enough to find online. For example, China is funding coal fired power plants in Pakistan as part of its foreign aid and new Silk Road initiative.

I think global warming is indeed a thing, and human activity has contributed. It began to contribute to CO2 increases about 7000 years ago with the spread of agriculture. We were headed for an ice age about then. This was in either Scientific American or Science magazine -- an article I read in the 1990's which I have since lost and isn't present online unfortunately.

That all said, I think the sun's influence on climate, as well as volcanism, are greater than the media tends to state.

olddxer:
A very interesting thread!
