Because it is entirely ignorant and highly arrogant to believe anything we might do or worry about would/could have a snowball's chance of accomplishing much, if anything. We are completely insignificant to the machinations of this earth and once we understand this, we will understand our place in the universe.

Maybe people think they have so much to do with it cause they live in, and hardly ever leave, the big cities that have smog clouds over them. They never get out and enjoy the real views and the fresh air. It makes me sick. I know alot of people who'd rather live in an apartment downtown and never leave the city limits. Go take a walk people! Enjoy the nature we have before some selfless greedy developer kills the forest and puts up a new mall or a walmart.

People take exactly what they see on a daily basis as " thats how the rest of the world is or looks".

Get out expand your horizons!

It is just a cycle, when the Spanish came to America they sailed into the middle of Texas . Was that global warming because of trucks then?

There's a report which was just released today by some of the Scientists who were a part of the research that good ol I invented the Internet Al Gore used in his bogus movie. After seeing his movie and reading his less than factual book, these particular scientists are extremely po'ed about his alarmism, and are coming out to state that he blatantly overstated the research findings they had concluded. Once again, a farce,, and about him buying more carbon tickets, I bet you aren't aware that he owns a huuuuge amount of stock in the company selling them. Imagine that.

I've said it before and I'll have to say it again I'm sure. I don't want to destroy the planet, but I find it very hard to believe that this whole global warming farce is entirely mans fault. Granted, emissions and such aren't helping the problem, but they're not the only root problem. In fact, mankinds involvement is number 9 on the list of causes.

Magnum I agree. The temps have been changing as long as we have records. Many temp changes happened before industral age began. I don't believe man is causing todays temp changes. I sure don't believe the stuff Al Gore is saying.

Yup, and then you have this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070312/...c/polar_trek_1

The irony of it all continues to build. It's almost like someone has a sense of humor.

That's been proven false by the New Zealand Government. After Al Gore's movie was shown in New Zealand Mr Gore talked about that island that is mentioned in your article and how they were forced to move to New Zealand. The New Zealand Goverenment said that that didn't happen and if it did they want to know where they moved to in their country.

Ok I'll just fan the flames a little:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/scientists-have-inconvenient-news-for-gore/2007/03/13/1173722471286.html

Global warming and seas rising make nice fundraisers, but you can't do much about either. Ever think they might be trying to avoid real issues they would have to take a stance on? The Earth's axis has a wobble and I hear they are starting a fund for that next. If your worried about us sinking then get a ship and start dredging the ocean and as for recycling see this Penn an Teller episode:

http://www.sho.com/site/ptbs/prevepisodes.do?episodeid=s2/r

They tell it like it is. BS.
