I really wish a lot of intelligent people would look up information of the science related to Global Warming themselves, rather than paying attention to people like Al Gore who dumb it down for the masses.  I believe the problem is a pretty big one, but it is easier to be dissuaded if you follow someone who makes it their personal vendetta to use a certain measure of public policy, only to find arguments that contradict their advocacy.

The intelligent people do that already. Turns out Gore's right.

I know that in Massachusetts at least, we do have the technology available to cut back on global warming pollution from both cars and power plants. According to the new home of Mass PIRGs environmental work, we will have to cut back 20% by 2020, and 80% by 2050 to stave off the worst effects. I tried to take a job canvassing for them, but it ended pretty quickly. Building public support is never easy when half of the people aren't home, are suspicious that global warming even exists (I just want to bash their heads in with a sledge hammer!), or tell me, in no uncertain terms, that they don't care. It's only your planet, guys.   :'(

Apart from having a video game hobby, which can take up to nearly 5-6 hours of electricity per day, depending on how addicted I am to a particular game, I do me bit for the environment by using those food waste bins (which bring a lot of flies and maggots, mind you), not driving, not leaving my computer on when I'm not using it, recycling bottles, tins and cardboard, and placing unrecyled rubbish in the bin like it's supposed to, not on the pavement like your resident Bristolian seems to do.  ::)

No wonder our ol' Vivi wants to live in a cottage out in the countryside. (Shouldn't it be inside a forest or summat?)

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.
