I think Pika's line here sums up the arguement pretty well. The people who were screaming "GLOBAL WARMING" a decade ago are the same ones screaming "CLIMATE CHANGE" now.

As for my thoughts on the matter I'm calling bullshit on global warming. When it comes to climate change however the bottom line is this: if you think the weather pattens and average tempature of ANY planet is going to remain the same forever then frankly your an idiot. All in all the planet isn't going to blow up tommorow. It's no excuse to not take care of it mind you. However it's also insane to think we're going to be fucked in X years if we don't do Y in Z timeframe. The bottom line is that the Earth has been around for a long time and survived quite a bit. Short of a large scale natural or man made incident causing severe changes I wouldn't worry too much.

Besides if said large scale incident does happen then chances are the tempatures going up or down a few degrees may be the least of our worries. I'm willing to bet that most of you don't know that Yellowstone is one of the largest volcanoes in the world. It'd most likely be the end of the world if that fucker blew
