Is the earth warming? Yes. Is it man made, natural or man assisted?

The problem is to stop it or slow it down will mean people have to give up consuming the earths resources faster than the earth can replace them. It will mean a major cut in the earths population, people will have to stop churning out shit into the atmosphere and they will definitely have to stop driving SUVs and fuel prices will rocket.

The cost of protecting most of us from the consequences will be enormous and people will not pay that bill. Until the hit hits the fan and they start screaming why nothing was done.
