i happen to be a conservationist that isn't quite as naive as the gung-ho Al Gore-types about global warming.
there's no doubt in my mind that climate change is certainly occurring -- but i believe that human beings have little to say about in the matter. not that i feel conservation efforts aren't necessary (we need to preserve our planet for our posterity), but that if our planet's going to get warmer, it's going to do so irrespective of humanity's involvement.
you see, our planet is mediated by oceanic currents which control almost 95% of the climate we see on land. and those certainly change periodically, altering climates with them, and without the discretion or approval of humans behind them.
