I realize that CO2 is a naturally occurring substance. Thanks for not adding anything to the debate. Are you denying that we have an effect on the climate with our CO2 emissions?
It's a no brainer. Also follow the money to find the truth. It's pretty easy to figure out. I'm not saying that we need to stop heavy industry (or that we even could), I'm not even saying that climate change is going to be the end of mammals. Just throwing some obivousness into the debate.
Besides, the planet will be fine. Humans on the other hand, may be fucked. I live in Minnesota, can always migrate north to Canada if need be. I'll be fine.
If we're going to focus on improving the "planet" (aka for humans/animals). I'd say we focus on recycling and try to avoid things like the huge plastic buildups in the ocean. Again, we have no control over 3rd world countries, they aren't going to be like "oh yeah, let's worry about the rest of the world" when they're dying of starvation and diseases.
I don't really see the point of even arguing about climate change, 3rd world countries are going to continue to try and become developed nations (requiring cheap industrial processes). And corporations will continue to try and make as much money as possible within "legal" means. Have you ever driven by any large buildings at night (even schools) and see all the lights they have on? you think it would be no brainer to have the lights shut off when nobody is using them, would save a lot of money.
