Bah. Global warming IS happening... but it IS natural. It's an amusing thing really, humans as a whole tend to just see THEIR little piece of time. The temperature has increased since most of us have been alive, but it was indeed warmer BEFORE we were all here. In the entire history of humans, the climate has gone through an umpteen amount of climate changes. There was the two or three (I can't remember, I'm bloody tired) ice ages that humans have survived, the little ice age right after the middle ages, and quite a few bouts of global warming. If you're going to rant and rave about how it's gotten hotter in the last 50 years, take a few steps back and look at the last 50,000 years and shut up.
The only true threat to human survival as far as the climate goes, is whether or not we'll be able to survive when the next ice age rolls around. With all our technology, and how dependent we are on it... I'm starting to question how well we'll fare.
And the only thing I'm really concerned about man and all his infinite technology affecting, is our groundwater. Drinking water. Don't get me started on the shit that's in most of our water supplies. Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former, and have seen no reason to change.
