Personally, I'm undecided on just how much man is affecting the environment. It is a given (and anyone arguing otherwise is simply uneducated) that we are affecting it. The earth is a closed system, it is inevitable. The question is how much are we affecting it?
We don't know with any certainty. However, I am inclined to adopt measures to counteract global warming (the expression of the various gasses that contribute to greenhouse effects) as, if the theories are even close to correct, we have far, far more to close by doing nothing than by doing something.
Hell, adoption of stricter environmental standards usually creates more jobs, so why not?
