If we are not the cause of global warming (if it exist) then what the fuck makes you think we can do a damn thing to stop it? I'm all for protecting our environment within reason, but to think we should give up fossil fuels or double our energy cost to slow consumption is stupid.

Because of money, The ones that have gotten rich off of oil have a huge lobbyist impact and would rather they keep making money the way they have because no one likes change.
It's not politics to quantify the amount of pollutants we put into the atmosphere and the earth every year. It's science. If we choose to keep doing it then we deserve what we get. We are short sighted and at this point in time we only have one world to call home. I think we should stop fucking it up solely due to money. We waste trillions on stupider things like thinking we can really get people to stop fighting each other over religion that have been fighting each other for thousands of years already.
