Whether or not "global warming" is occuring or not is open to debate and given the relatively short time that mankind has recorded weather, probably cannot be absolutely proven. It is my belief, however, that at the rate we are burning up non-renewable resources, that we probably are warming the planet, creating some real nasty air to breath and not showing too much respect for future generations. We have the technology right now to produce all the electricity needed to run the earth with renewable resources and without burning one gallon of oil, lump of coal or uranium. But this current generation of earthlings does not have the courage or wisdom. Too bad, because future generations will most certainly look back at us as caring more for immediate gratification than for the planet we will be leaving to be cleaned up...
