Aren't we always the ones that jump on people for not being savvy enough to see a potential disaster coming, and not taking care of situations easily at the first stages? We're always so smug, and say "Gee, ya didn't see that coming, Sparky?" Like when the last guy went out to cut down the last tree on Easter Island......

Global Warming is something that will likely become progressively more painful and difficult to fix as time goes by. Our resistance and denial of simple, relatively cost-effective changes now will look really stupid in twenty-five, fifty, years.

I have no idea if man-made GW is real or not. To me, that's not the point. It's all about taking responsibility for the future. Heck, even if this trend is simply a natural fluctuation, why not fight that, too? We certainly have the means to. Just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's a good thing, either. Our entire history of manking is a story of manipulating and conquering Mother Nature for our own comfort. Why not with this, too?
