Here's why you're wrong:
A few of your arguments posted on this thread are about how you don't personally observe climate change in Michigan, or about how, from where you sit, polar bears are doing just fine right now, or how in 1970 there was some brief media-hyped scare about cooling.
Not only do these observations, gleaned from your personal experiences in whatever backwoods cousin-molesting Michigan town you're from, assume that said place is the center of the universe, but they disregard the most dangerous element of climate change--that the such change is usually so incremental, that by the time we notice it, it's usually too late to do anything to reverse it. Groundwater contamination, for example, may happen drip by drip, but if you smile and say, "It's not contaminated yet," you're only setting yourself up for disaster.
This is where people with competent conceptual faculties move to the head of the pack and save your world for you.
