I'm not one to say the world is ending because of global warming, the world will be fine. People will need to adapt to it, and will need to relocate, some things will die off, new things will come in, as it has for millions of years. But to say it doesn't exist, or it's a sham, that's just sticking your head in the sand.
Will it be as bad as Al Gore predicated? Clearly not.
Is it real? Yes.
Can we (people) "fix it"? Probably not, and who knows the ripple that will happen by mining all the materials to switch to new forms of energy.
What I will say, is we should be better stewards of the environment. Not because of global warming, but because I want my kids/grandkids to swim in streams and lakes and not worry what chemicals the plant upstream has dumped into the water. I do want my kids to SCUBA in the oceans and not see marine life trapped in waste and barrier reefs dying. I do want my grandkids to go walking or hiking and not have to bring a giant trash bag to collect all the litter or have to actively avoid all the trash. For those that enjoy hunting, I want them to be able to get their animal, one that's healthy to eat. If these little changes in any way help global warming, great, but I want to focus on leaving it better than I found it. And at the rate humans are going, not sure how feasible that will be in the upcoming decades.
