I don't really know if the current Global Warming is a man made effect or not. But given some of the consequences of Global Warming shouldn't we be.
A. Preparing for a global climatic change
Should we rebuild New Orleans a couple of times or wait for a change in the weather. To many people are pointing to changes in the weather to totally ignore the potential consequences. If we are talking about a 10,000 year cycle, we don't have the data to say how bad hurricanes and such will be. We don't know exactly how high the oceans will rise? (This could take another 3 years before they understand the stability of the Arctic ice shelfs).
Micheal Crichton pointed out that glaciers seem to be advancing at a higher rate in his book. Did he ever consider that some of this data may be skewed by "the glaciers are moving faster because the ice is melting faster".
I guess my gut feeling went to the side of the Global Warming nuts when President Bush said there wasn't enough evidence to support one side or the other. This pretty much convinced me that there was a problem, since he hasn't gotten anything else correct.
