There are two major things that concern me regarding this subject.

Would I place my mouth over the end of some of the smoke stacks that belch fumes out into the atmosphere, NO I would not and why should we continue to doing this to our world.

The available supply of fuels, Gas, Oil whatever, more and more we are reliant on overseas sources so what happens one day when, say for instance Russia decides to pull the plug a bit like to Ukraine we would be ****ed.

.

Does that mean you'd put your mouth over a car/bike exhaust?

Trouble is, no-one wants to give up the benefits of modern society even if it is detrimental to the planet.

No I wouldn't but I would be happy enough to ride an electric bike.

You are right about our creature comforts but there is no harm in trying to reduce ones impact on our environment.

I do have a very great interest in alternative energy production and a question I keep asking when looking at products in this ilk is, how long will it take to repay the environmental impact in it's production.

there was an interesting program on TV last night about farming in Brazil, showing their bio-fuel production. Clever stuff.

Re some of the earlier comments, - sure global warming/change has been going on for millions of years, - I am sure when they cut down millions of trees from North America for their intensive farming there was an impact somewhere in the world, - but nowadays we have almost instant reporting of news worldwide, so we get to see the impact. And combined with a global economy that is not able to react quickly to change the main problem with change is down to money/shareholders etc.
