The world has survived for millions of years and all of a sudden some smoke is going to destroy it. That's brilliant.
How much smoke from volcanoes has the earth endured over eons.
Some half baked, has been, politician needs recognition and a bunch of unhappy, malcontents jump on the idea.
How about let's worry about our polluting of streams,rivers and oceans.

Not new - been known for many, many years. It's not just cows but it is the diet and anatomy of a cow that means it produces more flatulence than other species. If we killed off every cow on the planet it would help reduce global warming but the contribution cows make is small compared to the amount of greenhouse gases humans produce (only 8% of the CO2 comes from cows).
To follow up on H C Will's point: The world has been around for millions of years (4,500 million years) and there have been volcanoes - some far bigger than anything in living memory. However, nature is able to compensate for these quite easily mainly through absorbtion by trees. But, we're now producing more pollutants than nature can handle and at the same time have cut down vast areas of trees. The scanario can be likened to a sink - turn a tap on and leave it, not a problem as the water drains away down the overflow. You could leave the water running forever without problems but what would happen if you blocked up half the overflow and turned the other tap on as well?
Further to the above answer. The British have accurate weather records dating back to the 1600's, some records go even further back but the technology and science wasn't around to give accurate readings. There is also a 650,000 year weather record based on ice core samples so we can accurately analyse the atmosphere from way back (air gets trapped in the ice and we can extract the air just as it was thousands of years ago).

I do think global warming does exist.
But how do we know if it existed in the 1900s? T
here weren't instruments in those days to record the weather. Maybe the extreme weather Earth is expreriencing today is just normal. It might have happened a hundred years ago.
