to stop whatever is their way of life in order to "combat" a worldwide phenonmenon like global warming. Everyone in the world would have to go back to almost pre-industrial levels of life in order to stop the climate change. Are we really all going to suck it up and do that?? Whatever we do now, whatever marginal, tiny decrease in emissions we decide to do, after like 20 more years of debate, aint going to do a damn thing for the climate. Suck it up friends, people don't want to give up their present way of life even a little bit. Any sort of slightly beneficial reduction aint going to do much. Youve lost the fight. The Earth is going to continue to warm, little polar bears are going to die, ice is going to melt yadda yadda yadda. Get over it, and start adapting.

This post was not sarcasm. Although I believe climate change is real, im going to openly admit that Im short-sighted and not willing to compromise my (my familys and my communitys) way of life because whatever we do aint going to help.

My 0.02 cents. Its worth what you paid for it.
