I, too, am no scientist, but theres no way I will believe mankind isnt screwing up the environment. Which makes me lean toward that some our actions have caused a shift from what was normal years ago to somewhat different. But the bottom line to me is...whats wrong with not dumping poisons into our waters, sending so much crap into the air it produces acid rain? Our oceans? They're becoming a dumping ground cesspool. Then theres our energy debate...oil. That nasty crap has caused many problems from financial problems to wars, so why not seek alternative sources? 

If the argument is that its a money grab hoax, then it is what it is. We've spent way more on other things that make one want to spit. At least this has a possibility of slowing down a potential dangerous hazard. All the while, cleaning up somewhat. 

Years ago India and China, with little or no regulatory laws werent as huge in industrial production. Now they are, and they've certainly added to some of our planetary woes, from air pollution to over fishing to toxic waste dumps....soon these guys with their growing population and industrial needs will need more room.

At least lets keep investigating and trying to agree on a solution. Remember when cigarettes were good, reduced stress,etc. People believed that it wouldnt cause death...years later...oh how some wish they would have listened to those few whacko scientist/doctors. 

Gotta go..my Hummer is running outside with the AC full tilt, ready to pull my cigarette boat out to those oil rigs for a protest.
