What I believe and, in some cases, know to be true:
1) Planetary survival is not threatened by human activity
2) The continued survival of humans and other species is threatened by aggressive, power mongering, human activity
3) Human inhabitability of planet Earth could become threatened by seemingly innocuous human activity, but not the Earth itself
4) The human contribution to global and regional pollution is evident, it is irresponsible, sometimes dangerous, and in most cases, (but not all--at this time) avoidable
5) Irresponsible public policy toward pollution is driven by the Central Bank's "need under our present system" for an ever expanding economy, which is entirely driven by (consumer and government) debt
6) Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant, it is a trace element in the atmosphere, essential to all life...
7) Carbon Dioxide is not a forcing factor on climate
8) Carbon Dioxide has become "the patsy" for Wall Street banking interests who will be trading Carbon Credits for cash to prop up their depleted so-called "reserves"
In the absence of real contributions to their fellowman's well being, environmental alarmists opt to create straw men with which to wage pseudo battles against insurmountable opposition in order to avoid doing anything of real consequence.
My advice: Volunteer your time at a local hospital; or care for the homeless; or spend a day at a local beach, lake, or river cleaning up the litter from the shore; adopt a highway and clean it up; ...put up or shut up.
