Doesn't anyone realise that if global warming were not primarily due to
fossil fuels we would have to cut our output of greenhouse gases even more
drastically?

Fact: the Earth _is_ warming.  The measurements and statistics are unimpeachable.

So what is causing this?  Is it just part of a natural cycle, as the
extreme right of the GOP - oilmen to a man - would have us believe?  Or are
we causing it?

If it's part of a natural cycle, where will it end?  All the way to a 50
metre sea level rise?

If we're causing it, we have a BIG lever to pull on.  If Nature is causing
it, we only have a small lever and we have to pull much harder on it.
