This past week Congress held its first hearings in response to the IPCC report on climate change that attributed global warming to human activity.

During the hearing, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) has a not so lone dissenting opinion:

“We don’t know what those other cycles were caused by in the past. Could be dinosaur flatulence, you know, or who knows?”

Right.

I don’t understand the argument by those that deny global warming is caused by man, that since we aren’t the cause we shouldn’t be concerned with it. Whether or not we caused it, shouldn’t we still attempt to do something to curb it if we want the planet to survive?
