It is a more complex system. Subtly complex but horribly complex, Alex. There
have even been a few PBS specials recently (US educational/non-profit TV for our
friends overseas) featuring the work of some folks who have coined the term
"global dimming". Apparently the soot emitted from diesel engines and other
sources has blocked enough sunlight from falling to earth that the difference
may literally have stopped something like 30-40% of the global warming that CO2
emissions alone "should" have provided. (I'll take a correction on those numbers
if anyone has them for sure!)

The folks in both camps (those arguing that there is/isn't global warming and
that it is/isn't something horrid) are equally wrong. We don't know what is
happening or why it is happening, we the human race are as the three blind men
in the old parable describing an elephant. Each says something totally
different--because none has the complete picture. So each is totally right yet
totally wrong. Meantime....a global climate change could kill us all, a more
prudent race would at least ante up the bucks to do some real science and try to
see the entire elephant.
