I do not disbelieve that global climate change is occurring.
I do not disbelieve that human activity has an effect on this process.
I strongly support efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and the development of environment-friendly energy sources.

I DO believe that to some degree this is a natural, and hence inevitable process, and that spending the vast majority of resources on stopping it is shortsighted.

I would very much like to see that we spend at least SOME of the resources on fixing some of the obvious problems (like substandard levees, an energy system that relies almost entirely on refineries located on vulnerable coastlines, nonexistent or poorly designed evacuation plans, etc, etc).

The point is, I am NOT an authority. I am, however, an individual who chooses to explore an issue beyond what mainstream media presents.
My main complaint is not with the scientists and researchers, but with the representation of their research by mainstream media. This phenomena is not limited to global warming, by the way.
