I agree that we don't KNOW with certainty what is causing climate
change, and adding countless tons on Carbon to the biosphere is
probably one of the causes, but we should not forget that we have had
ice ages in the past in a somewhat cyclic recurring pattern, and these
ice ages have been interspersed with periods of higher temperatures and
higher sea levels, and these underlying cycles could also be
responsible for the phenomena we are now experiencing.
My concern is that politicians are seeing it as an opportunity for new
taxation - carbon tax - which will make governments dependent on it
over time and not solve the problem at all - a bit like the government
dependency on taxes from tobacco products
