Global warming is about money
Man has been recording temperatures for ages

This is false. Recorded tempature only go back a couple hundred years. Also the tempatures recorded were recorded in areas that do not show the global warming. The polar tempatures were not taken and recorded as long.

The big push to fight green house gases is that Europe knows that the every 60-70 years the transfer of warm water from the south in the Atlantic during winter will stop for approximately 8 years. This a guess based though based on it happening twice before where it was recorded and judging from histories of cold winters spanning 8 years. This has the potential to wipe out entire agricultural business in place like the UK, Russia, Germany and France. That's why these countries are so gung ho on the movement.

The problem is you can't stop nature. Right now green house gases coming from nature are much more than what we produce. effectively we produce only about 0.3% of the green houses gase added to the atmosphere and nature does the rest. Now this doesn't mean we should ignore the 0.3% as we don't know if that little bit could tip natures delicate balance.

Just have to remember the big motivation here is money. If you can't grow grapes for 8 years that means bad times for Europes wine market for example. That's just one area of agriculture.
