Unless and until we are given specific information about how, exactly, man has increased the warming in relation to various little ice ages we know about from the historic records, how, exactly, man has changed global temperatures in relation to various warm phases we know about from global records, and what, exactly, the appropriate targets to achieve to create, I only worry about global warming from the standpoint of how much damage the people espousing this religion will do to both the developing world and the developed world.
The earth is warming and having looked at California's records, it has gone up one-half a degree F in the last 100 or so years. That is so little of a climb that I am not worried about its effects in the slightest. Indeed, many feet that a warmer world would be better; food production would increase in what are now very marginal climate areas. Combine that with the Warmist's hatred of nuclear, refusal to stop jetting around the world, or to live a life that would show how important the measures they proclaim, well, it puts me on my back foot, so to speak. I don't believe them in the slightest at this point.
But in the end, what has always struck me was the anti-democratic nature of the reaction to climate change. The further we go along the path of listening to the doomsayers, it sticks me as more of a socialism stalking horse.

Erase "to create", was trying to hold two thoughts at once.
