During your lifetime...maybe. I guess that all depends on how quickly China and India keep industrializing and increasing their use of coal.

Even if it doesn't, is there no one younger than you that you have any care for? Are you seriously that selfish and inhumane that you don't care if human civilization continues?

If not, then people like you really disturb me.

You're only 25 years old, according to your profile, so you could easily live another 50-60 years.

Well, if you sooner or later have children, I bet your take on the future of this planet will change quickly. I know I can't look at my three kids and completely dismiss the notion of Global Warming. Especially when so much science backs it up.

 

I'm pretty evil man. I wouldn't underestimate Zenfoldor's evil, if I were you. As for children, I've always had a bit of contempt for them.

I will say this to you, however. Don't let worry, fear, and love for your kids trick you into worrying about this problem.

If you wanna make it your cause, do it for your own reasons. For the human race, and not for your own fear or worry, because trust me, scientists who want to do this kinda stuff for their own reasons are playing off of fear and worry, in an attempt to recruit people to their cause.

 

 

Here's an interesting fact. Obama wants the price of gas to go up. He admits as much. He wants gas to go up so that we use less gas, which is better for the enviroment.

Now, I want gas prices to go down so that I can afford to buy groceries and go to the store and such.

Obama's ideal for protecting the environment from global warming is causing me real economic hardship and a decrease in my quality of life.

Excuse me if I'm missing the bigger picture, but I'm just not down with being unhappy now for things that might happen in 100 years either way, which are entirely based on circumstatial evidence, no matter how compelling it might be.

If you can't see my point of view as well, then you might be a cool-aid drinker.
