The climate IS changing globally. To mention but one problem, there is open
water in the Arctic in areas where there has been solid pack ice in previous
years. Polar bears are lurking around Inuit villages because they can't get
out to hunt the seals on the now-distant pack ice.
The extent to which climate change is caused by human activity is debatable,
but we can only influence human impact on climate.
Yes, the sun appears to be heating up; yes, the climate has its own cycles
of change; but yes, humans are also contributing to climate change by
burning fossil fuels, emitting greenhouse gases, and cutting down forests,
and this we CAN do something about.
