[Old School]

All I can say to you is to go back to school and learn a little about how the atmosphere works. The release of CO2 coupled with the loss of trees increases the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere which stops the long wave radiation the Earth reflects off of itself from the sun and warms the Earth. Now you may not think that it matters to you, but that is you being a moron. The artic ice in the world is melting which raises the level of the ocean, which decreases the amount of shoreline. It also causes decreased reflection of short wave radiation because the ice is more reflective than the ground. You are not very smart to say that the environment and how we are abusing it doesn't matter.

The CO2 levels in our atmosphere have been increasing steadily for the last 18,000 years, and for the record CO2 levels have historically changed without human input or intervention.

Worldwide man-made CO2 emissions account for about 0.3% of all CO2 in the atmosphere, and the idea that man-made polution is responsible for global warming is not supported by historical fact. The period known as the Hololene Maximum is a good example, it was the hottest period in human history approximately 7,500 - 4,000 years ago way before fossil fuels were used. If you look back as recently as 1940 to 1978 CO2 levels continued to rise, but temperatures dropped.

I found a interesting fact which said that growers are injecting CO2 into their greenhouses because it promotes plant growth and helps plant resist drought and disease. Sounds like maybe we need more CO2?

Getting back to the topic of the thread, I think we will still need to use oil, gas and coal for several years to come, but we do need to develop solar, wind and nuclear power with the demand for energy growing each year it will more than likley take all of the above to meet our energy demands.
