Should we really be very concerned and worried about the amount of global warming since 1940?

We've seen about 0.3c or 0.4c of global warming since 1940. Is this what has caused all the panic and why we've spent hundreds of BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars?

    The planet has been warming naturally for centuries, yet they focus on a small portion of the warming to make it look like it is something unusual.

    I suppose if there was such a thing someone should look into it. There is no such thing. Stop letting government scare the public into funding imaginary issues to pay off favors. There are millions of $$ given for this hoax when the money is neede everywhere else. There is no reason any of my money should go to someone pretending this is real. Should be be funding the hunt for big foot? We probably are since millions go to people pretending to find evidence of global warming. Fact is there is none and until anyone can, which they have not, no $$should be spent on it. Everything about this issue is no more than theory consistently proven wrong.

    Not of it alone. But the CO2 already emitted will cause even more warming.

    And CO2 that we are on track to emit will cause even more than that.

    And sea level rise cause by the present CO2 has "baked in" several feet of ocean rise over the next century.

    THAT is what to be concerned about.

    Yes. On the other hand, the "we've spent hundreds of BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars? " part is bs.

    Yes we should alot. This is unstoppable process. The global warming will lead to global winter which most will not survive. But it is centuries away.

    I am not at all concerned, There has been no significant change in global temperatures, it is well within natural expected limits.

    There is no evidence that CO2 has had any effect at all.
