I guess you're not going to watch the show. It showed the glaciers receding first, pretty much as was predicted by scientists, and a sharp rise in CO2 correlated to human activity, going back 12,000 years. While they admitted that there is not proof that it isn't natural, they also correctly pointed out that to require 100& proof would probably take so long that it might be too late to do anything about it.

It is irresponsible to ignore the data. The fact that the CO2 levels are rising, and that the glaciers are in rapid retreat are not disputed. The only thing that is in dispute is whether the increases in CO2 are exacerbated by man's activity. You're dreaming if you think that we will have the ability to reverse the warming at will if we have a problem.
