Both. What was once colloquially called "global warming" is actually "global climate change". That stuff Al Gore is talking about? Yeah, that's global climate change. The warming is only one of many trends possibly resulting from a combination of things, including pollution.

As Ustwo stated, it's BS. Changes in weather is caused by pollution does not work. You can't be right on both sides of the isle and claim no one can doubt you.

However, I have to say, I find the right-wing's anti-science bias truly shocking. On environmental issues (anti-global-warming, anti-acid-rain), economics (worship of free markets and unregulated capitalism), even basic cosmology, physics, and biology (creationism, anti-evolutionism, anti-vaccination), it's a truly sick culture of denial, evasion, and obfuscation. Any good ideas on the right (smaller government, eschewing onerous regulation, balanced budget...) are drowned out by the crazies.
End rant.

Show some sort of evidence of a stance. You take a stance based on temerature increasing, it decreases... you can't still be right. If we are to completely change an economy we need evidence. It was supposed to increase, it didn't. The hockeystick model is proven BS. It was supposed to have more hurricanes when we had not 1 in 2006. Ocean temperatures were supposed to go up, they didn't.
Mountains which were having decreasing glaciers were touted as proof of global warming, now are having advancing glaciers and are ignored (Snowdonia).
