Toughtful Thursday - global warming


 As I am enduring a heatwave now let's talk about the topic a bit forgotten - the global warming. Here are some quotes to get the discussion rolling:

"Global warming is too serious for the world any longer to ignore its danger or split into opposing factions on it". 
Tony Blair

"… those who are absolutely certain that the rise in temperatures is due solely to carbon dioxide have no scientific justification. It's pure guesswork."
Henrik Svensmark

"As best as can be determined, the world is now warmer than it has been at any point in the last two millennia, and, if current trends continue, by the end of the century it will likely be hotter than at any point in the last two million years."
Elizabeth Kolbert

"On average, global warming is not going to harm the developing world."
Bjorn Lomborg

Now my questions:
  • Are you sure that the unstable weather we've been experiencing for some time is caused by humans and their activities?
  • Is the global warming, according to you, a real threat or just another bugaboo invented by politicians and supported by corrupt scientists?
  • What could be done to prevent a future disaster, if it is really approaching?
  • Why, in your opinion, some people, scientists and laymen alike , oppose the notion of global warming if it is so noticeable and obvious?
