I don't doubt global warming. The earth has gone through periods of warming and cooling it's entire 4.5 billion year history. I don't even doubt that there are some effects on the climate that can be traced to the countless tons of industrial pollution that get pumped into the air.

I just don't believe that climate change is a "crisis" that requires industrial nations to cripple their economies in order to address.

So maybe the earth warms a couple of degrees in a century? So what? We'll adapt. 600-800 million years from now, it won't be habitable anyways regardless of what we do.

If you look at a map of the world, you can see gigantic areas in Russia and Canada that are basically locked up many months every year by severe cold weather. And these people are trying to tell us it would be a disaster if these super cold areas were warmer. Where I live, Wisconsin, I certainly wouldn’t mind warmer winters in the slightest. Bring on global warming.
