The > dispute is over why rather than what. Well, the real question is 'can we do anything about it, or should we just sit it out until the next ice-age.' The answer to 'is it natural or man-made' isn't really relevant, and it's probably 'yes' anyway. (If man can punch a hole in the ozone layer, then a bit of the blame can be directed that way.) As James pointed out, making things cleaner & more efficient isn't a bad idea whatever the reason. So: Q1 - Is is hot/cold/windy/different in here? A1 - Yes, and you look fat in those pants. Q2 - Our fault or is it Gaia? A2 - Meh, but probably 'Yes'. Q3 - Can we fix it? A3 - Maybe, depends if 'Bob The Builder' is busy.
