Global warming due to human influence is so minimal as to be insignificant. However the earth is warming very slowly due to natural causes. It is warming from sun's activity and from recovered balance from the mini-ice-age some centuries ago. I look forward to warmer evenings here in Alaska with great expectation, though I'm not holding my breath.

The REAL QUESTION has to do with change. Does climate change mean that earth is in jeapardy? If someone considers this true then the earth has been doomed from the beginning, for the ONLY law in the universe that no one questions is change. Those who wish to freeze the earth in some unnatural existence have no comprehension of the nature of our universe.

Claims of the early death of our world is as old as mankind. Nothing is new in these claims, only the cause changes from year to year and century to century. The hubris of some humans that claim we can alter our complex atmospheric processes on earth so easily worry me. Especially when they keep coming back to their answer, radical change of our political and economic system.
