Do all the hand wringing you want over man's effect on climate change and how the U.S. is the main cause of it all. China and India are opening 4 new coal fired power plants each week and they aren't going to give a hoot what you or anyone else thinks about it. You can all turn into the most environmentally correct people on the planet and it isn't going to matter one bit until China and India feel like you do. (And they won't.)

I hear you, Tyak. Here on the west coast we've already seen evidence of their air pollution right in our neighborhood. And I agree with you, they will never feel like we do.

Gazelle, just because the planet will out live us, does that mean we abuse it? I don't think we should, especially if it's going on without you and I. What about our offspring and the generations to come? Do they deserve a planet that can no longer produce a good life for them?

It is possible a huge comet will hit the Earth and destroy everything as we know it. The Earth will go on. Humans may not. No big loss in the whole scheme of things. Man is just not that important. If he kills himself off before a natural disaster does, too bad.

Did I miss where the US was blamed for all the Earth's pollution?
