I see it a bit differently. I don't see that we are ecologically doing much damage. We have what you call critical resources up the Wazoo.. We have enough oil for the next 500 years at projected rates of use and by then I see no reason that technology will not find a replacement. Global Warming is a new hyped desaster created to scare but if you actually look at the Facts you see that its not what the news has made people think. Thank about this.. Since America got a press we have had a reverse of Global Warming or Global Cooling every 20 years or so. 20 years ago the press was all abuzz with the next ice age.. 40 years ago articles told how the Ice Caps are meltin, 60 years ago the Times stated that the earth is about the have a climate shift to an Ice age.

Today we here there is consensus that Global Warming is man made.. but Facts now.. That consensus is of 300 scientist and they made all the news.. But.. there is also a list of over 500 scientist that say its a normal cycle due to sun out put variations. But those you never see on the evening news.. and if you stand and say Global Warming is not as stated you get scorned and degraded in the press.

Its a created view of the environment by some that seek political positioning and the gullible fall for it and actually never check to see if the Fact fit the hype.

Remember the Hole in the Ozone? Haven't heard much of it since it was found.. Remember what happened? We had to cut CFC's and put new gasses in our air conditioners, Require more emission controls and all this caused a wind fall for many companies and people. Our cars cost more and you have to pay way more for A/C and refills. But The fact is 1 lighting storm anywhere on the planet produces more Ozone than could be destroyed by CFC's in 20 years. The hole was always there.. it was just seen for the first time because we stuck a satellite in polar orbit and looked for it. Its cause is the magneto sphere drawing charged particles from the sun into our upper atmosphere and burning off the ozone .. But look all you want and you will be hard pressed to find even a mention of the hole that was going to kiss us all a few years back.. But you still can't get freon and all the stuff done to protect us from the destruction of the ozone is still in place.

So when you look at the news and how the world will crumble under the weight of the people on it you should look back in the Historical record and you may find that its been coming to and end since 2000 years before Christ.

When some take to the soap box to save the world, stop and look at the details before you believe a word they say.. You may find that their reason for gloom and doom are more for Power, Control and Cash than a concern for their fellow man.
