Of course the earth's temperature has risen and fallen. The point is that in the past it went up and down naturally due to forces outside of anyone's control, and did so over millions of years. Today though it is rising because of forces within our control. Even worse, the rise in temperature is happening a lot faster, and the effects of this will be a disaster possibly experienced by you and me, but definitely experienced by our kids and grand kids, unless we do something today.

It's very simple Robbie. The cost of a litre of gas does not include the cost of damage to the environment and illness it causes people. The cost of a kilogram of hamburger meat does not include the cost of environmental damage done by factory farming.

The cost of the damage is showing up in other places. It is showing up in extreme temperatures, extreme weather, coastal flooding, and the death of the oceans. It's showing up in higher medical costs, and more people getting sick.

Take your head out of the sand. Scientists everywhere are raising the alarm bells, but again, you the great Robbie, have convinced yourself that you know better than all of them. Very sad.
