The problem is that man-made global warming is simply not backed up by enough evidence to deserve its position as the foremost environmental issue.  In the face of record cold temperatures in the last two or three winters, doubt has even been expressed that global warming is occurring at all, let alone as a result of primarily human activity.  Since the science simply is not there for man-made global warming, it should take a back seat to more pressing and tangible environmental issues (these issues are noted in the following section).
