yeah...
"Global Warming" is an older term. Current scientists tend to use the term "Global Climate Change". the fact is, we can't know exactly what changes are occuring with the global environment. we don't have enough data from enough centuries to really make a quantitiative analysis. But what we do know is that there are drastic climate changes occuring currently. Tropical storms, hurricanes, abnormal regional cooling trends, massive coral bleaching, and so forth. Some specialists attribute these occurances to climate change. Others do not. The point that environmentalists are trying to make is that the human population is polluting, causing more harm than good, potentially rendering the earth uninhabitable to fellow humans, native plants, animals, etc.
the goal of environmentalists is to minimize impact.
[rant/] the goal of the imbiciles that write crap like the aforementioned article is to convince the masses that one should be a rabid consumer, continue to drive their gas-guzzling vehicles to their unnecessary shopping malls, and continue to live the american dream as though it has no impact on the world around them.
