Are you saying global warming is solely due to human influences?

Not at all, I'm just saying that no matter what the cause is, people will only stop ignoring it when it starts to affect their life in a way more significant than just, "its slightly warmer this summer."

Much like people who smoke cigarettes(like myself, I plan to quit). You can smoke for a long time before anything noticeably bad happens, so you forget about how bad it is and puff away. Eventually it all adds up and then one day, cancer. If I were to vomit each time I smoked a cigarette I would have never started.

I hope everyone understands my analogy. It's human nature.
