As far as I've read, global warming exists, but not because of anything humanity has done. As previously cited, warming and cooling is a natural cycle. This is most likely due to moving slightly closer or away from the sun over the course of centuries, as there is no real way to have a perfect orbit. Of course, there are plenty of other factors as well. While humanity has had a role, that role has been relatively minor.
I read in multiple scientific publications that a single volcanic eruption spews more greenhouse gases into the air than humanity has over the course of its entire history. I think this is a very important deal.
While it's probably a good idea to have some kind of control over industrial emissions, I think that perhaps the government takes it too far much of the time, or expects too much too fast. I'm far more interested in getting rid of the oil dependency, for instance, than I am with controlling factory emissions. The scientific reports are pretty clear on this much, really. Global warming is happening, but there's little no no evidence that humanity has had anything other than a "day player" role in it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
