Do you think humans are helping cause Climate change?

Climate change is inherently unpredictable.

I will say though I do think human industry is certainly negatively impacting the environment in which we live in.

Even people who love coal and nuclear ... would you build your house and raise your children next door to one of those factories? Would you let your kids swim in the waters in Louisana where dead fish are turning up every day thanks to BP?

Who knows what the hell is in our drinking water or the amount of pesticides we spray onto our fruits and vegetables.

I think things like cancer rates and the dropping of testosterone in the male population will continue on unabated in the next 20-30 years.

More than global warming I'd be worried that all the sh*t we dump into the water and pump into the air and all the deforestation we've done might cause some kind of virus/bug (not unlike bird flu or mad cow but much worse) to rapidly spread through our water/food sources and not get under control until it's caused a catastrophic loss of life.

I love airports, they make everyone lives much easier, but I don't want to live near one. Should we close them all? People don't seem to know how much costlier are the renewable energies than the non-renewable. You can see it in Spain, where we have one of the costlier electricities of Europe, and it's even sold at a 30% loss due to government fixed price. We have a great percentage of renewable energy, but it makes our high electricity consume industries uncompetitive, and they have to relocate. That's what you want, uncompetitive industry due to huge electricity cost? We're now at a 25% unemployment rate, and the electricity cost has helped in reaching that number. Last year the renewable energies were subsidized in more than 7000 million Euro, when we need to cut the budget in more than 35000 million Euro... It's a ridiculous situation
