The truth is that we just don't know enough yet. But with all of the focus and attention given to CO2, which is a natural, necessary and harmless trace gas, we might be missing the opportunity to tackle other far more serious problems. Deforestation and the release of actual harmful chemicals for example.

ok, so we wait for whatever event will concretely show that our activities have thrown the planet into a tailspin towards catastrophe.. ? or use the power of deduction and try and do something about it now?
