ISIS is real and has a murdered headcount in the tens of thousands. On the other hand.... Human influenced Global warming is a theory. We can't predict the weather for next week accurately who in their right mind believes years or decades of prediction?

Only to those who don't believe in science.

Have noticed many times in Japan that even with so called 'Super Computer & and two reporters, they can't predict the weather accurately for next 24hrs...!

On the contrary, I find the weather predictions in Japan to be surprisingly accurate.

Climate change is happening whether we like it or not. It is already happening with or without human interference. While data and statistical analysis is still infinitesimal when compared to the long history of earth, no definitive "cause" or the "possibility" of control to counter the change already happening has been meaningfully proposed or even suggested. It is a "panic" reaction to what may be a long term change coming. It is something we must find a "solution" to not counter but how to live with the changes coming.
In any case the "panic" has at least helped to clean the environment somewhat with almost everyone aware of the need to control and reduce all kinds of "pollution." We are now starting to take a little responsibility for our behavior on earth. And because of that some of us are healthier and hopefully stronger and better than before. It will help somewhat in the survival of the human animal at least.
So what are people proposing to do about "coping" and "dealing" with what we "know" is already happening and will bring?
cutting emissions is but a small part of the entire picture, when the emissions from volcanic activities fr surpasses human level production. What concern there may be is in the destruction of the natural environment such as losing forests and increase in massive concrete and asphalt laden landscapes. Who knows, even the removal of fossil fuels from earth and filling it up with water and other materials may have "changed" the natural "balance" that may have existed. Why are there so many earthquakes and volcanic activities?
It may not be just the balance needed in the air. It may be the shifting of the earth. It may be just the shifting of the tectonic plates.
Or, are we just looking at the whole thing from our very short human life span and not enough from the larger earth span?
In any case HOW are we going to adjust?
What are you suggesting?
