Even if the agenda of global is being exaggerated for some political purpose, the theoretical risk of global warming still exists. The simple fact remains that there are more people currently alive on earth than the combined total for the rest of human history and hence our ability to impact the environment is far greater than ever before. Isn't it better that the issue is closely scrutinized now, rather than in 100 years where the damage we have caused may be too great to reverse.

Out of interest, for the people that aren't on the global warming bandwagon, what do you think is the motivation for people to exaggerate claims of global warming?
