1. All but one of the oil and gas companies are pumping a lot of money into Renewable Energy, so as to make sure that their shareholders can still make shed loads of money when Fossil Fuels run out. (So that is one conspiracy theory blown out the window)
2. If life had never evolved on this planet, the climate would be changing exactly the same as it is today.
3. Start adapting to Climate Change, as there is nothing that anyone on this planet can do about it.

The film The Day After Tomorrow was based on this possibility, and if it does occur (Has as happened many times before in Earths History) all the scientists now agree that it will not occur quite as quickly as first thought, so there will be ample time to move people closer to the equator and restructure the economies.

Treat the earth well: it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children.
~ Ancient American Indian Proverb

When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money.
~ Cree Prophecy

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
� We are a part of the earth and it is part of us
~ Chief Seattle

When we show our respect for other living things, they respond with respect for us.
~ Arapaho Proverb

We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can't speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees.
~ Qwatsinas, Nuxalk Nation

I am tired of talk that comes to nothing. It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises. There has been too much talking by men who had no right to talk.
� It does not require many words to speak the truth.
~ Chief Joseph: Nez Perce 1840-1904, Nez Perc�� Indian chief

In my native homeland (the badlands of south west Texas) I have noticed that Mother Nature really does not have the patiance (or comodities) to stand for insubordination.
It's said that the world is ~2B people heavy... I don't see any one volinteering... The world has always righted itself, and will continue to do so. We know of at least 6 ages before we came along, and there is every chance that there will be at least that many more. No use in gettin all upset. Just enjoy what you can, while you can, after all 10 out of 10 die.

I saw George Carlin in Las Vegas some years ago. He did a great sketch about the state of the world .... "The planet isn't in trouble, it's us that is in trouble. The planet will be here long after we have gone"

And right he is!

Ordnung muss sein!

I have noted that when a problem arises a technology comes along that fixes the problem.
For instance it was predicted in the horse drawn days that if the horse population kept increasingf in London horse manure would get to three feet high in the streets.
It didn't happen because the motor vehicle came along.
All we get these days is doom and gloom.
Things will fall from the sky.
The sea level will rise.
It has all happened before.
The end will come when the Lord is good and ready.

What we need is a little faith.

You could be right, so let's not tick him off by not keeping our "room" clean.

@ Chas....just couldn't resist...

Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don't get no spendin' cash
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor
You ain't gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Just finish cleanin' up your room
And sweep the dust out with that broom
Get all that garbage out of sight
Or you don't go out Friday night
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

You just put on your coat and hat
And walk yourself to the laundromat
And when you finish doin' that
Bring in the dog and put out the cat
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

Don't you give me no dirty looks
Your father's hip; he knows what cooks
Just tell your hoodlum friend outside
You ain't got time to take a ride
Yakety yak (don't talk back)

(Repeat and fade
Yakety yak, yakety yak
