[QUOTE="NDSportsman, post: 346217, member: 444"] While I agree with much of your post here's where my common sense doesn't coincide with the idea that man has this huge impact that every environmentalist seems to want to claim. Something set this current warming trend into motion since the last ice age correct? Clearly that was not human caused. Now once you start melting snow and ice from something what happens? It heats up more and melting speeds up as well. That's just common sense to me. Unless you can figure out how to add ice to the polar caps again you will not stop this trend. Glaciers have been receding since the last ice age, tree lines have been climbing since then as well this is not a new phenomenon that's only started the last 1000 years! Is it increasing faster every 100 years? Again common sense would tell me yes even if every human on earth disappeared today. Again I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything to change our lifestyles or not try to come up with more energy efficient ways to do things. Like you said I'm all for using every resource and means we have available and even future technological break thrus as they happen. I'm saying anyone who wants to dictate those changes to me has an ulterior motive and it's not about saving the environment either. Allow those changes to happen organically without political interference and we'll be much better off in the long run. [/QUOTE]
