Global yawning
You can argue all you like about whether human carbon emissions are responsible for global warming, or whether it is down to solar radiation, animal flatulence, cyclical fluctuations or God.
You can argue all you like about whether a 2°C rise in temperature would cause a large number of heat-related deaths or whether this would be offset by the global decrease in cold-related deaths.
You can argue all you like about whether it is better to spend billions on making a small reduction in carbon emissions or whether this money would be better spent on providing agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare and education in the areas that are most affected.
But I'm not going to; I'm going to have a snooze instead.

Probability that the globe is statistically warming = 75%
Probability that humans are contributing to the amount of carbon on the planet = 70%
Probability that the amount of carbon is the reaon that the planet is warming = 68%
Probability that humans carbon emissions are making us heat up <36%
My wife spent yesterday giving terminally ill cancer patients a full makeover (its a woman thing). I even sacrificed my own time looking after Henry and Jemima so that she could do it. Puts global warming as an issue in perspective.
