This morning the BBC carried an article, What Happened to Global Warming? that furthers the questions about whether the global climate change is human influenced or whether it is natural variation in the global environment. I think it doesn’t matter, because, globally, we are losing species, and the point has been made before here that this will effect humans in the long term.

The term “global warming” was coined before we understood the full effects of the problem. Now we have a better understanding, and it is still getting better. It will continue to improve, if we can dedicate more resources to better understanding the problem, just like anything else.
