No I'm not. I'm saying that we should try to figure out the cause, and how best to react to it.

Best case? We caused it and in the long term can stop it getting worse.
Worst case? It's not caused by us, we don't know how long the trend will continue, and we have to deal with continuing global climate change without fighting each other.

Politically it might even work to our benefit, get us working together instead of dumping problems on each others doorsteps. "My enemies enemy is my friend" and all that jazz.
