How much more does it need?
Sadly this year will be remembered as one that produced one milleniums catastrophe after the other. First the Tsunami, the Hurricanes Stan, Katrina, Rita and now Wilma, the earthquake in Pakistan, the heavy floodings in Europe. All these catastrophes produced a lot of damages, as usual the developed countries do away with large financial losses, the 3. world countries pay in human lifes.
How long do we go on like this? We will never be able to proof that there is human induced climate change, but neither will we be able to show that there isn't. So why don't we do the experiment the other way round? We change our behaviour and look whether melting of glaciers, polar caps, the frequency of heavy tropical storms, etc slows down? We won't be able to proof that it was because we changed our behaviour but who cares.
Wouldn't it be worth a try?
