You can't argue both, now.

I've shared my opinion several times that global warming may or may not be happening, and I've questioned whether we have enough data to back up the conclusions that have been presented.
I've also strongly opposed the notion that if we are experiencing global warming it is due to man's burning of fuels. I contend that theory is overly arrogant, unsubstantiated, and politically motivated.
IF we are experiencing a significant climate change and IF it is not just a short, natural cycle, then it is much more likely to be caused by that great big ball of fire in the sky or some other natural influence than by humans. We're just not that significant in the big picture.
I believe that telling people we can manipulate earth's climate by changing our consumer habits is ludicrous and intentionally misleading.
