TIA - I am not saying that ""nobody really knows, and it doesn't matter anyhow". Don't put such words in my mouth, please.

I am saying that I don't know! And I am saying that most (if not all) people who are yakking about it here on this forum don't know. Yet they are rabid in their chosen opinion, whatever that may be, and arrogant in their utter intolerance for others who hold a differing opinion. I find that self-centered and inappropriate on their part...since they really DON'T know for 100% sure what they are talking about.

I was NEVER at any time saying that "it doesn't matter anyhow". It does matter, in the sense that we all have to deal with various global changes that are occuring in the climate and weather conditions. We need to make suitable preparations for rising water, changing temperatures, etc.

I don't think there is one solitary thing that I, personally, can do about the Global Warming situation on Planet Earth, because I think it's probably being caused by changing natural cycles in the sun's activity, not by us. I don't deny that there IS Global Warming occuring, I just have doubts about one very popular conventional theory of WHY it is occurring. I talk about it because it's an interesting subject. This doesn't mean I think I'm "above it all", for God's sake! That's your notion, because you seem to have some need to try to make me feel guilty or something for not seeing it your way. How could I possibly be "above it all"? I might better say I'm "below it all"...because I can't do fuck-all about it, and I know it. If the Sun is what's doing it, nobody can do fuck-all about it. I'll be dead and gone, and people will still be arguing about shit like this and insulting each other over their differences of opinion, and I know it. It's pretty sad behaviour when they do that, and I think they all ought to grow up and learn a little humility and mutual respect for one another.

If you think you can do something about Global Warming....you go right ahead. I wish you all the luck in the world, and I'm not being sarcastic when I say that. Everyone should, by golly, get out there and make a difference if they think they see a viable way to do it. I do not see ANY way that I can make a difference to Global Warming, because I don't think present human activity is what's causing it.
