I am not saying I have all the answers, but even a decade is a flash in the pan. This topic is about as polarized as religion, but I happen to think it is very possible for what we have been doing to the planet to have some adverse affects on temperature. We have messed with the earths atmosphere big time and it seems silly to hear some people be so sure that becuase it snowed in April or that temperatures have declined for 5 or 10 years that there is no way what we are doing is affecting anything.
For every story about declining temperatures someone has, someone else has a photo of grass covered field that was just recently covered with a glacier.
I also don't subscribe to the "don't worry about it" and "no major action needed" groups. Global warming aside, we need to change the way we live anyway. How can limiting what we use and how much we pollute be a bad thing? Less waste, less pollution, more recycling, cleaner cars (especially large fleets like city busses) less electricity...all of these are good things and much better for our health and envirionment anyway. Why not participate and make the air we breathe and the water we drink cleaner for all of us? Makes no sense to me.
