Are the global climate changes cause for alarm?

I have been reading Climate Courage by Andreas Karelas upon finding it at a bargain store. This matter of global warming I had come to believe was something which has been blown out of proportion by the media. Could it be a collective hallucination that human industry is causing all these environmental changes? I have a feeling many want to deny the harmful effect humans have on the environment as it's too much of an inconvenience for them to think otherwise. On the other hand, I have been persuaded that some environmentalists are fabricating information to create a sense of alarm. Carbon dioxide has been this great obsession when it's not truly a toxin and I have yet to see any clear evidence that it's worthy of all the media attention and alarmist propaganda about how it's harming the global environment.

Look at the climate from 4 billion years ago, and the many changes with out the intervention of man. How do you explain the ice ages with out man? How do you explain it warming up again with out man? We are entering an ice age again. The temp changes around us does not change that fact.

@Confined without man it happened at a glacial pace.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP and that means what?

@Confined what's artificial about climate change in this era isn't the magnitude of the temperature change but that it's happening 100x as fast as what's natural

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP It is NOT happening faster. That info is what the main stream media and the climate hoaxers want you to believe. If you do serious research you will find that is complete and total BS!

@Confined I'm not a climate scientist. I don't have the resources to do my own research. I have to rely on the good faith and competence of the overwhelming majority of disparate climate scientist across the globe who have little reason to fabricate their data. Big oil, on the other hand, with its deep pockets (like Mariana trench deep) haven't been able to poke holes in this bogus science

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP If I was making money on the climate change hoax, I would lie lie lie lie to make more money. Id fabricate data and make wild claims to support my lies. That is what all these people are doing. If they told the truth they would be out of a Job!
You can do your own reseach. It took me time to look at all the data myself. Man has done very little to affect climate. We are going to have another ice age, then it will warm up, then another ice age, then it will warm up, then another ice age, then it will warm up again, then another ice age, then it will warm up again. Many can not change this fact. Period end of story.

@Confined so much money that you'd make the fossil fuel industry look like a bunch of paupers?
