We do not control the atmospheric gas balance or temperature globally. We do control it locally such as creating heat islands around cities for example but the over all climate picture is not determined by mans activity.

There are many temperature cycles that can be seen over time. We may be at the end of a 20 year or middle of a 40 year warming trend. The average temperature may start to decline now or may increase another 0.6 degC yet then decline.

Nobody knows what will happen yet because we do not have reliable temperature data beyond 150 years and global climate models are a joke so speculate all you want about what the future holds.

Inconveniently, the single biggest individual energy user and propaganda provider in the USA is Al Gore.

So you're willing to bet your future and that of future generations on the slight possibility that you're right. By the time we know for sure, it would be too late to act. If it turns out you're right, we will still have cleaned up the environment in an effort to stop global warming, even if it doesn't happen. Either way we win.
