Look at how people were able to polute the great lakes and ocean shores, who says we cant polute the air so bad we can't breathe it anymore?
I am all for cleaning up the environment, and personaly I don't care why people do it. If its for "global warming" or anything else, cleaning is cleaning.

So its ok to scare people with global warming to reach your real goals?
That is what a large part of this is about. I used to be 'in' the loop on this stuff, and the general feeling is that people are stupid, so they don't mind using junk science to scare you into doing what they think is right.
Who hear remembers the threat that if the rainforests were cut down we would run out of oxygen? I got to talk with those people at the 1992 earth day event. I was a young, slowly becoming disillusioned ecology major, and when I pointed out most of the O2 is made in the ocean, they flat out told me they said that because people would never understand saving biodiversity.
