Whether or not the global warming issue is a hoax should not be the basis for taking care of our earth. Even if global warming doesn't exist, we should still be striving for clean air, water and to decrease our negative footprint. So, why fight over whether or not global warming exists? We can all see the pollution in the air and in our waterways with our own eyes. Why not take on those issues instead?

If you or I got as much as a 2.5 degree fever, we would be on the brink of death. What will this kind of change do to our ecosystem? It'll be devastating. It's not just humans that will have to endure the increase. It is all life on earth and most things won't like the change.

Mankind has been notoriously naive. We could end up causing more harm than good. Be careful about the idea of a beneficial footprint. Mankind has been notoriously naive.

Many people foolishly believe that a little of the poison is cleaned out by earth so we can have a slightly destructive footprint. Wrong! Even the slightest amount of pollution over long enough time will result in a build up that is undeniable. It's just common sense.
