I don't think environmentalists believe they can control the climate. They, do, however, look back at the last hundred years-- across the globe-- and see a quickening of environmental changes since the Industrial Revolution and think "could human action on this grand a scale over this period of time had an influence?" If the answer could be "yes", then it follows that cleaning up our actions-- on a large scale and over a long period of time-- might be a factor in slowing things down. Why the helplessness? Why not step up? What can it hurt? (rhetorical questions not necessarily directed to you)

"I think global warming about in the same league in terms of scams". I can agree on there is always that element of abuse ( scams ). We cannot control nature, we have to learn to live with it. Like watch weather more closely when 'bad weather' is approaching. Global warming study is not a total waste. People used to think they are themselves to blame becasue they did something wrong and God of flood GOd of hurricane punished them when a natural disaster strikes.
