OK, I don't take it badly, I think you make a point.
I have no expertise regards climate change at all. I think that I am still entitled to an opinion since I live here. My concern is this. If I saw a canister of sludge glowing gently to its self (as it were) I would treat it with caution and assume a health risk until convinced otherwise by some pretty solid evidence. The consequences of climate change are so potentially devastating that I tend to be conservative about it. I think it is needlessly risky to just carry on as usual until it can be proven beyond all doubt. I will not, to put it another way, run naked through the Kruger National Park because I have not seen the lions teeth with my own eyes. I don't require global warming to be proven beyond all doubt, I require its absence to be proven beyond all doubt.
I shoot a lot of landscape images and often return to areas many times. I see changes. You do not have to be an expert to notice that the planet is starting to look like it has been taken care of by a pack of angry trolls.
