Usually I keep quiet and I know I'm gonna regret talking to a brick wall, but -
I'll bet you don't talk so smart on the days it's warmer than normal.
Global warming is a misnomer. It's global climate change (Note the GLOBAL). You notice the increasingly freak weather? Snow in Louisiana is freak weather. Here in Wisconsin, we've had floods this spring, droughts through the summer, floods again through the fall, the record setting snowfalls.
Maybe you don't have to care because you'll be dead within the next 15 years, but I'm 29 with a 3 year old daughter and a 9 month old son and the world will be a much different, possibly much worse place by the time I die.
You may say, "So what? the climate changes all the time - gets warmer and colder. Species die off, new species spring up. We're not doing any more damage than, say a volcano" I hate that argument. Might as well say "I'm gonna die anyway, I'm just gonna walk in front of this bus"
The oceans are the lifeblood of this planet and they're sick through the DIRECT actions of us, the human race. If they die, we die. We've used them as a huge dump for our garbage, we've fished 'em to the brink of extinction, we've loaded them up with carbon through industrial activities, coal being the biggest sinner. We need to STOP IMMEDIATELY.
I don't agree with Gores plan on getting rich off of carbon offsets (I also disagree with Bush and Cheney's plan on getting rich through the military-industrial complex), but I HATE people who say "Who cares?" or "Let's just keep on doing what we're doing". My kids are gonna reap what you and I sow.

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
