Is Global Warming a Crisis?

Is Global Warming a Crisis?

Global warming has quickly become one of the most heated issues in America (pun intended). Rising temperatures and melting icebergs are indisputable evidence that the Earth is warming, but is this global heat wave a man-made crisis or just overblown hype?

    Does the Sierra Club have other references?

    Besides the IPCC report? Since the conclusions of the IPCC are in dispute, shouldn't the Sierra Club use other sources to support the claim increased anthropogenic CO2 levels will result in famine and drought?

    Since CO2 makes up such a small portion of so-called 'greenhouse gases', purportedly a problem because it causes a cascade of reactions, causing a rise in the pre-dominant green house gas - water vapor, how exactly does that translate into droughts, etc?

    What does the Sierra Club make of recent data suggesting global cooling? http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/2008/06/03/uah-global-temperature-dives-in-may /
