    • I know, it's so 80s to recycle, but I'm not that big on humans causing global warming. I'm more concerned with local pollution issues than global warming (if you've ever been to Dallas, you'd know why). I do my best, though. I recycle glass, metal and cardboard, I take public transit when available, I turn the lights off when I leave a room, I participated in Earth Hour, etc. But that's about as far as I take it. Animals were meant to be eaten and people can barely predict tomorrow's weather much less what the Arctic Circle is going to look like 50 years from now. Did people ever stop to think that the changes on this planet were meant to happen this way?

    I love this answer -- you know, the field of paleotempestology has recently shown through soil samples that thousands of years ago, storms were far more violent than they are today, and we may be on the cusp of a new 1500-year cycle of more intense weather. Reliable weather records only go back about 150 years. I believe in global warming and reducing pollution, but people who make it seem like "The Day After Tomorrow" is just around the bend drive ME around the bend. It's just not true.

    I agree with both of you. Global Warming is one of the few pieces of the Vox Populi that I don't follow. It just doesn't make sense to give the human race that much credit for changing things. By the way, I live in Dallas. We THINK we recycle pretty well, but we are pretending a bit.
