All I'm trying to suggest is that we are destroying the world's ecosystems simply by being what we are, the issue of global warming being but a minor issue in what should be the bigger concern. It's an unfortunate fact. I have no solution, and I have no intention of not driving to work. I like to live in comfort, as, I am sure, do you.

I think your fears are exaggerated, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be vigilant. All I am asking for is the vigilance be based on proper science and not just the want of billions in government handouts that keep scientist employed while they produce nothing. The ecosystem will always be changing on this planet, that's simply a fact. It always has in the past and even through global catastrophe, life finds a way to adapt and survive and even flourish. Keep in mind the Yellowstone disaster was from trying to preserve the environment, and that was only in a relatively small geographic area compared to global climate change.
LOL, there is a great line in the movie Ghostbusters (yeah I know I am quoting Ghostbusters) when they get fired from the uiversity and Dan Akroyd (Ray) says;

Personally, I like the University. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there. I've worked in the private sector. They expect results.

I think that pretty much sums up the motive behind keeping the global warming machine going as we see it primarily comes from our federally (taxpayer) funded university system.
