I don't know what's more annoying, people who spout off in support of global warming and it being a fact and the world is doomed etc, or people who spout off that there is no problem and bring an equally avalanchian-sized deluge of facts, figures, charts and graphs to sway people to ignore there even being a problem whatsoever.
Fact is, warming or not, the planet IS getting more poluted with flurocarbons and the like, our oceans are getting warmer and marine life in certain areas of it are slowly dying from it. It's also a fact that it can't hurt to do a few things differently in one's own life in order to go greener. In fact not only does it not hurt but it can in many instances save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars per year.
I baffles me why people continue to argue about this. I really could not give a rats ass whether it exists or not. There is nothing I as an individual can do against it on any kind of grand meaningful scale. But I can drive less. I can use energy efficient lighting. I can conserve and be more responsible with my water usage. I can recycle more. I can better insulate my home. All of which I've done and continue to do.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out there's an ongoing threat to the world's environment. People need to shut up about the arguing of 'if' it exists or not and just do a little something here or there to help stop it, or at least delay it some.
