Who believes in Global Warming?

For a long time I have not believed the basic story of global warming and have been very skeptical of the agenda of the people pushing the concept.  Here is why and I would love to hear what anyone thinks about it.

There is not way to predict what will happen with the climate, so anyone who claims to know what will happen I have to assume is lying and trying to manipulate me.  Carbon dioxide effects climate change over the course of thousands of years if we are changing the climate more quickly it is most likely do to other causes.  The cause that makes the most sense to me is agriculture.   H20 is a much more immediate greenhouse gas and the current state of agriculture brings tons of water from aquifers to the surface where it evaporates into the atmosphere.  There are many other possible causes for why the Earth is so warm right now.

More important then why is what to do about it.  Of course everyone should pollute less, but no one can believe that will solve any of the problems of global warming.  I think it is obvious that mostly poor people will be hurt  by global warming.  Rich people can have houses that can withstand storms and shit, and can generally choose where they live.  The main thing that must be done to protect against global warming is address the critical issue of poverty and prepare those who are in poverty now to be in a position soon where they can adapt to changes in climate.  So talk all you want about carbon credit bullshit what really needs to be discussed is poverty.

To combat poverty we need people not money.  When people are focused on getting societies out of poverty, especially in ways that do not consume resources, it can happen.  When money is focused on ending poverty it usually just creates corruption, consumes resources, and eventually continues the cycles of poverty.  Not saying money is not a part of the issue, and I also think micro-lending has an important role as well as developing more significan investments.

So that is what I think about global warming and what to do about it.  I could also go off forever about how terrible an idea cap and trade is but I do not think that is necessary.
