What I always wonder is what these environmentalists believe will or could happen if this so called 'man made climate change/global warming' wouldn't be stopped.
I wish they could quantify it a little more. What will happen and when? If we're gonna put hundreds of billions of Dollars into this project, I'd like to know what it is that we will avoid and gain.
Let's say we kept pumping CO2 at current levels (and with a steady rize because of developing economies) - what do they think will happen?
Will sea levels rise 10 meters so that hundreds of millions of people in nations like Hollland and Bangladesh will be flooded?
Will the polar bears get extinct?
Will we all be fried by the sun?
And when will it start??

I have a children now so I don't want to take that chance...
All I see is that people questionning the Global Warming effect are people only interested in protecting their money.... (USA Republicans, Australia and co...).
I don't care if it is true or not... I would be glad to have the petrol out of the equation...
IMO, it is crazy to call it a scam or a myth...

I dunno, perhaps you are very young, and for some people it may sound greedy when money is brought into this, but I can assure you that it's a necessity that money is involved in this climate change discussions and what we should do about it if it's in fact man made (which it isn't, but theoretically speaking). Cost is always a fundamental factor in risk-evaluations on this level.
cost versus risk and gain is fundamental in almost all political decisions
("how much should we invest in traffic accident reducing measures", 'how much should we spend on screening for cancer in people', 'how much should we put in foreign aid' and so on)
If you can't handle that, there's no point to be involved in these dicussions (this is not just directed at u Sardauk).

I'm 31 you idiot...
Of course cost is an important factor: I pay 0,56 € a liter for house consumption and 1,06 € a liter for my car. There is no risk in abandonning the oil for me and my country.
It cost me 3500 € a year for central warming and 2600 € a year for my car. It would takes less than 10 years to pay-off investements...
