Teribus.. instead of cut&pasting some head in the sand article, you might try to address the points I raised,

eg are you denying that the arctic ice has declined 30% since the 70's
and exactly how many peer-reviewed science journals have articles discrediting global warming..

as far as air quality- the nixon administration did more for reducing pollution than did GWBush whose Orwellian-named 'Clean air' act was
created by advisers from the worst polluters of US industry.

Id recommend reading Jared Diamond's Collapse - a study of various societies that have collapsed.

Im sure that Easter Islanders thought the trees would never disappear either...
