For example, we never seem to hear about the quality of air and water on our planet. We're more concerned about the temperature and sea levels. Global Warming is something that will most likely be a problem for our descendants many generations down. We shouldn't ignore it, obviously, but we should also concentrate on the other environmental hazards which have a more direct effect on us in the present day. When people talk about Global Warming like it's an imminent end-of-mankind event that will get truly serious within 20 years, I tend to get annoyed. We need clean air, clean water and healthier methods of agriculture and food production just as much as a less-rapidly warming global climate.

Conservation is a must do, but creating global tax, dismantleing our water systems, locking up our resources to create shortages, transferring private property to the government(via land trusts, regulation and wilderness bills) and trying to create the fear of God in the citizenry is overkill. There is more to the theory of manmade global warming than we are led to believe and it may have something to do with cash and control.

I keep using this example to sceptics - if you had a threat that your house may burn down, even if the reason was only suspicion, you would take action instead of losing sleep. Many aren't losing sleep yet because the global warming threat hasn't hit them close enough to home. Ahh - naive self-centered humans.... Great article.
