Honestly, I'm less worried about global warming than I am about running out of the natural resources for energy. China and the Middle East are rapidly moving towards a western, urban lifestyle right now, and within 30 years, the planet won't be able to keep up with the energy demands. Did you know that there are nearly 50 (FIFTY!!!!) urban centers in China with over 1 million residents right now? Have you seen the cities they are building in Qatar, UAE, etc.? For every hybrid car and compact flourescent bulb we buy in the U.S., these new population centers are adding 10 gas guzzlers and inefficient electrical systems.
