At present, there is no credible evidence in the current global temperature rise of the past 100 years to draw any conclusions that would precipitate any action other than further study. Do you disagree with this, FleaJo2?
Temperature changes in the last 100 years. http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/recenttc_triad.html
This is the real problem; we know the atmosphere has more CO2 now than before this is scientifically proven. Our atmosphere is undeniably thicker causing earth to get hotter. The problem most people have with "Global Warming" is why. Personally it doesn't matter weather or not industry or cars are the root cause what does matter is that they are adding to the problem.
The earth is big and it is not going anywhere, a misconception is that we are destroying the earth, this is untrue; we are only destroying our ability to live on it.
If the ice caps melt so what, we lose some land right, it's not like it is the only thing we are not making any more of, we will just huddle closer together. And so what if the Gulf Stream or other ocean currents change the earth has been through what 3, 4 ice ages now. In 10,000+ years earth will start to go back to normal again.
Proven real data says the earth has a thicker atmosphere than ever before and predictions say it is going to get worse, ice caps are already breaking apart at record even devastating speeds, and we are seeing storms breaking every record known including 2006 being the hottest year that we know of. This is not a gradual change in our current conditions, in the last 5 years the CO2 has been spiking on the charts.
We don't have the time to play politics with this, there needs to be a change, and yes it is a risk that reducing emission may not do anything at all, but the risk of not at least trying it when the leading minds of our time suggest it is irresponsible and stupid.
It is time people stop prancing around causes and start embracing the reality of the problem.

As far as car emissions are concerned so F@*&$* what. Every other sensible country in the world already has higher standards than American does. If you want to give up your puny paycheck to fill that black hole gas tank on your V10 Suburban so that you can haul your fat a$$ around to dine in at the trough of your local area McDonalds then go ahead. I just wish natural selection would hurry up and kill you off early so the responsible ones can start to make a difference.
Am not really sorry about the sarcasm, and about the fat I am just generalizing (People take things to personally, pussies)
