Right! So the weather has gotten a wee bit warmer in the past 50 years? The Earth's been here 5 billion years, and has been much warmer and colder at different times.

We have only been polluting and what not for a blink of an eye or two for the Earth, not enough time to make a significant difference in the long run.

Keep in mind that I don't think we should just ignore pollution and what we're doing to the envirnoment, etc - you know, we do need to work on cleaner energy and what not, but we don't need to get all exicted that the world is coming to an end or anything like that.
