It's about protecting plants and animals and the environment for sake of protecting HUMANS. I rather like living on Earth, and I want my grandkids, and their grandkids to be able to enjoy it too. That's what it’s about.



You seem to have got it:

Don't waste $Trillions on not making a blind bit of difference to global warming/ cooling/ dimming/ insert latest scare scenario of your choice......



And invest it in making the Earth a better place for your, and everyone else's kids and grandkids and their grandkids!

There are two personal caveats IMO that raise my eyebrows so far as global warming goes:

1. Thousands of years ago, we had an ice age, so if it wasn't for 'global warming' we'd still have the ice age. Just because we've managed to measure the temperature of this planet for a short time we've 'infested' it doesn't mean we're entitled to the exact same conditions for the rest of our existence either - who do we think we are? God?



Absolutely right. We aren't entitled to anything. On the other hand though, we humans are kind of adapted to this rather narrow range of environmental conditions that we have enjoyed for the last few thousand years. It would be kind of nice to keep living in them if we can figure out the secret to keeping them going.
