It isn't an issue of warming (at least to me), as there is data to show an increase of a degree or so in the last 100 years.
It is an indisputable fact that there have been periods of warming and cooling far before any such green house emissions by man came into play. These things happen naturally in the planetary (and more largely due to the solar) cycle. Therefore, no panic. We have no - zero, zip, none, nada - control over it.

With all due respect, all of YOUR scientific analysis isn't going to trump what many scientists the world over believe, what respected new sources are treating with respect and what I can see as trends with my own un-educated eye. If we were talking about Basketball, I'd believe every word you said but, I'm afraid, in this case, I'm going to have to go with the thoughts of the majority of people who study this stuff and we'll just have to wait and see.....or our children will.
