Divine will or man made catastrophe

It's a relief to throw off the duvet. It's 2 am and I have woken because I'm hot. 
First of November and I'm too warm in bed. Global warming or just an unseasonal warm night ?
We've recorded the warmest Halloween ever recorded and although today was forecast to be the start of something more the norm,lower double perhaps single figures, the gods seem to have another twist in their tail.
The argument that its due to Global warming brought on by man's over-use of fossil fuels and its effect on the ozone layer is well documented. The clear retreat of the polar ice cap and the effect this has on the air currents in the stratosphere with the attendant change in the distribution of weather is portrayed on our TV screens as ice cliffs crumbling into the sea and stranded polar bears clinging forlornly to scraps of an ice flow, shrinking by the day.

Statistics have always bedevilled mankind, as figures and massive amounts of data can be manipulated to make a story to fit any theory to prove a point. 
The penalty for getting it wrong is dire of course. To reduce our use of carbon and switch to wind and other forms of producing electricity.is not just expensive but it puts the nations that move from traditional fuels to non fossil, at an economic disadvantage when using this energy to produce goods that are priced out of the market compared to coal fired electricity. China particularly is belching millions of tons of so called green house gasses into the air each day and the Americans, well aware of this, refused to sign the Kyoto Agreement limiting all countries in the world to a percentage in line with their industrial capacity.
The size and the effect of climate change , on a countries population, its ability to produce food and the availability of water can be catastrophic. A planet which is becoming over populated and urbanised is at high risk of violent flash points as people struggle to stay alive.
The Good Book will put down to Divine Will, perhaps suggesting a punishment for defying the word of god.
The vast majority will have no solace in these words and perhaps will reflect, at least those of us who emerge out at the other side, how poorly we were served by our leaders, both in business and politics,if money and short term gain is once again to lead us into another man made catastrophe.
