Look at it this way, the Planet is our Home, yet we don't live in houses, full of rubbish, cow paddies giving off methane, Nuclear waste in the Basement, thus why should our "Larger" Backyard (Backyard being Earth) should be any different?

I don't really know much about the whole Global warming issue, and whether it's happening or not, but seriously, I don't want my future Grand Children running around in a dump, and neither should any other self respecting person.

And doing *Something* About it, rather than nothing is better in the long run in m opinion, there would only be so far where we can drop toxic chemical's into the oceans, and rivers before they become to far polluted that we cant use them to water crops, and drink from.

For Instance, the Great Barrier Reef, is the largest Coral Reef on the planet, yet Sugar Can Farmers have all the run off going out to sea, these high-levels of pollutants, are killing the reef, bleaching the Corals, and just making it completely un-pleasant, I went on a Holiday there when I was younger and thoroughly enjoyed it, I would love to have my Great Grand Children go there and enjoy the same things that I did, but at the rate it's being destroyed that may not happen.

and your right with other issues. we have a lot better things to do than worry about global warming, were trashing the planet in so many other ways.

Hippies just like to hyperfocus on global warming because the human race is to arrogant and elitist to accept the fact that the difference we make is in insignificant proportions.
Mankind cant accept the idea of it being out of our great and powerful control.
