but I would concur that evidence points to the effects of dirty industry being in conjunction with rising temperatures, desalinzation of the oceans and so on. That could, in theory cause huge problems.
Well by theory of course--the effects of global cooling and the pollution of our oceans were to have killed us all long ago--and yet humanity somehow survived.

Anyhow, this subject should be politicized at all. We should leave this to scientists. Of which no one here is one. So shut the fuck up about it, and realize that people smarter than yourselves should be dealing with this.

Not even Al Gore.
You bring up a good unintentional point here--that being the scientists. Now one point you must admit--science is a profession--and scientitsts do not receive funding for telling the world EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT!

But my my--the funding and money that rolls in when you tell the world WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!!
