Ever since the Little Ice Age (around the 1700's) it has continuously gotten warmer worldwide.

Just because its naturally getting warmer on its own doesn't mean that we are not contributing to it. Shouldn't the conjunction of these problems make this something a more concerning problem instead of a less concerning problem?

No, because if human activity only affects the situation a little bit, then all the hysteria over it is meaningless.  All real evidence suggests that human activity has little to do with overall global temperatures.

Look, I agree that we should conserve fuel, go to renewable energy, rely on public transit more, but for different reasons.  Hystria doesn't help reasonable people who want to do things the, it hurts, because, first off, once people become convinced that a problem is over-hyped, thy lose interest, and second because ideological enemies use that hysteria as a weapon against a cause.  In the long course of human events, very little was ever really accomplished by "taking to the streets".

That's not to mention how much money is caught up in all this global warming BS, both in intellectual circles and corperate America.
