I'm on the fence as to whether to believe all the doomsday stories about global warming but I do believe humanity is "assisting" the warming of the planet

But, even after all the evidence, research and confirmed studies, the governments of the world really aren't doing much at all, certainly not enough to make a real difference anyways

It always seems to come down to the cost involved, but the planet is priceless, it's our home, it's not like we can just "move out" when it can no longer sustain us.

To be honest, most humans don't deserve to live here and I think back on two quotes in paticular which I remember from The Matrix and The day the earth stood still, which were

"I'm afraid they are not a reasonable race. Any attempt to intercede with them would be futile. They are destructive, and they won't change. The tragedy is, they know what's going to become of them."

And

"Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? –A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."

Not saying everyone is like that mind you, but the majority, in my opinion, seem to be heh.
