I have seen arguments that do present reasonable evidence to suggest that the global warming threat may be overblown. I don't believe that to be the case, but I can understand why some people believe it is the case. I can not, however, understand how anyone could believe that humans have not had some negative impact on the climate. We have pumped exponentially more chemicals into the air and water in the past 200 years than all of the years prior to that. It may not be as bad as it is sometimes portrayed, but we as humans do need to start taking responsibility for what we are doing to the environment and make changes to slow down (or reverse) those impacts. In my mind, not admitting that we have a negative impact on the climate and environment means not being willing to take responsibility for our actions. It is nice to see that our federal government is starting to change their official stance on the matter.
