Not only is global "warming" not a foregone conclusion, but the language has changed. It is now called "climate change". Why? Because the last three years have been among the COLDEST since we've been keeping records. Even the guy seemingly making the most money off of "climate change" (Al Gore) doesn't call it "Global Warming" anymore. Given the recent statistical analysis, it's just not credible.
Global COOLING -- which IS real -- is causing some real problems. Agricultural productivity in both hemispheres has suffered the last two years because of low temperatures. (The Dakotas are still getting SNOW this year -- and it's mid-June!)
The leading theory is that global cooling is due to low sunspot activity. There seems to be a direct, long-term correlation between sunspot cycles and global temperature cycles. When sunspot activity picks up again (as it always has), global temperatures will pick up again (as they always have).
