Elton, I don't think anybody means to deny you your beliefs. At this time, it seems like you're sorta on the fence. I've never had a problem with what others may believe, UNLESS and UNTIL it starts infringing on what I or someone else believes. I think most of the folks here on YT are that way.
Anyway, science has proven that dinosaurs roamed for millions of years in parts of the world that are now covered in ice. Scientists have also proven that these same areas have been covered in glaciers for thousands of years. So, let's look at those two things. "Millions of years" vs. "thousands of years". We're in a transition phase right now. The Earth is (according to scientific exploration) normally much warmer than it is now.
I'm not saying that mankind has zero effect on the Earth or her climate, as only a fool (in my opinion) would believe that. However, seems to me if volcanoes can erupt sending ash into the atmosphere that circles the globe, that just this one event produces SSOOOOO much change that mankind pales in comparison. And yet, the Earth doesn't really react much to even earthquakes. The effects of a volcano eruption so far in my lifetime seem to last a few weeks at most, and most areas don't seem to even realize any difference at all. So seems difficult for me to understand how mankind could be destroying the planet with such haste.
With all of the cameras and internet and reporting (both professional and amateur) going on, look at how "normal" storms are thrown out of proportion nowdays. Storm of the century? What's a century in the time of the Earth? Can't tell you how many 100-year floods I've seen! Weather guessers can't even accurately predict the weather more than about 3 days out. How can I trust these people to know that mankind is causing all this harm?
There's so much more to this climate-change stuff that it would easily fill several books. But in the short of things, I personally cannot see that there is a lot of climate damage caused by mankind. Some? YES!! But not nearly enough to justify so-called unusual fluctuations in the weather patterns. Everything goes along in cycles, and mankind hasn't been around for even 1/100th of a single cycle -- that's talking since the VERY DAWN of humanoid life!! ...And who's to say that every "cycle" is the same? I would expect the cycles to have wide variances as well.
All that said, I'm just a "guesser" like everyone else, and my words/thoughts hold no more value than anyone else's. I urge everyone to do their own research and draw their own conclusions, preferably without any agendas or other strings attached.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
