The term du jour is now "climate change." That means that <I>any</I> variation in temperature is now attributable to human activity, not just warming. Did you see "The Day After Tomorrow?" The glaciers melt so that NYC floods, then the movie features a blizzard so fierce that the entire planet freezes. Supposedly this is the future that awaits us if we don't stop driving SUV's.
