What constantly strikes me about global warming is how small the focus of most papers about it is. Prime example: I read on the register something about the formation of so many new icebergs from the icecaps was causing shrimp to boom thus locking carbon in shrimp crap at the bottom of the sea.

Ok, so this will help reduce global warming. How does the effect of this compare to the output of all the cars in the UK? I suspect its relatively minor. My point here is that all these people seem to lock their sights on one little detail then tell us how it will affect GLOBAL warming. Strikes me that there will be no real answers until someone looks at the GLOBE as a WHOLE.

Noone can deny that the climate is changing, as others have said when I was young I remember a lot more snow than there is now and this is the worst summer I have ever seen. (Hello Mr Sun, where are you?) But as yet I have not seen anyone conclusively and convincingly state that
1) This change is going to continue to dangerous levels
2) That change will actually generate real problems not just a matter of "well, now we use this land to grow pineapples not wheat and this land that was formerly a frozen waste to grow wheat"
3) This change is man made.

To expand on #3, there is evidence that 400 years ago it was a good 5C warmer than it is now on average. There is also evidence that thousands of years ago it was a lot COLDER. Some people think that Earth is just defrosting from the last ice age still.

In short: We have no idea what is going on with the globe. We don't have the data and we don't have the processing power. We all know how wrong tomorrows weather report can be yet we trust these idiots to say that the global temperature will increase over the next 20 years?
