But we ignore that the earth started heating up more than two centuries ago and will most likely continue to do so, quite independently of our emissions. There are, for example in Switzerland, old photographs for all to see, of glaciers that have been shrinking since before 1850! The earth was already heating up quite independently of emissions, that we only started spewing out around a 100 years ago. This may mean we are looking in the wrong direction.

And if the earth keeps heating up regardless, that may even put the very existence of mankind in jeopardy and would mean we are being short sighted. We may eventually all burn!
