who said that we are trying to fix anything here. It's a debate about whether we think the problem even exist. People like you (who have 0 knowledge on the subject) seem to think you have it figured out and it doesn't exist.
you keep throwing around the .02 temp increase over 10 years. Do you understand how "time" vs. "geological time" works. I'll assume not since that was at least an 8th grade level subject. .02 per 10 years is huge especially since it is increasing at a faster rate of late. Do you know it only takes a couple degree increase to pretty much wipe us all out.

While temperature does vary considerably at a daily level in any one place, global average temperature is remarkably constant. According to analyses of ice cores, tree rings, pollen and other "climate proxies," the average temperature of the Northern Hemisphere had varied up or down by only a few tenths of a degree Celsius between 1000 AD and about 1900, when a rapid warming began. A global average temperature change ranging from 2.5°F (1.4°C) to 10.4°F (5.8°C) would translate into climate-related impacts that are much larger and faster than any that have occurred during the 10,000-year history of civilization.

you really should read up a little:
