True, but there is no hard evidence outside computer models that humans 
are causing any fluctuations in temperature.  Whether it is happening is 
a separate issue than what is causing it. It would be terribly difficult 
to prove empirically that human activity is the cause.

Also, consider that the total temperature only rose 1 degree in the last 
century and hurricane season was(comparatively) a flop this year.

Even if you believe C02 emissions are doing it, remember that 100 years 
ago the automobile had just entered the market.  Who knows what we will 
be using in 100 more!

Politicians and anti-capitalists love the theories though.  It lets them 
pass laws to make you live the way they want you to.  Makes them feel 
good but its mostly junk science.  The ban on DDT has killed millions of 
mostly children in Africa, but it was too banned on junk science and 
only after first world countries had used it successfully.
