Environmentalism, right or wrong? Options

[Kontroll]

Now, when I say environmentalism, I'm dealing with the rainforest and what not. How do you guys feel about it? What's your stance on this topic?

If there has already been a thread about this, then whatever.

I think your explanation is a bit simplistic, and makes a lot of assumptions. Few scientists agree with you; most do agree that the earth's surface temperatures have increased. Again, the issue is why. You might want to peruse Wikipedia's article on global warming for a start on some of the evidence for global warming. There's a lot more to it than just "We recorded some temperatures, and people in the past probably messed up when they took temperature samples."

The point of this thread, though, is environmentalism, not global warming. It's true there is no consensus on the issue of climate change, but I look at it this way: If we're wrong and human activity is not changing the climate, reducing CO2 levels and pollution will not have a disastrous effect; however, if we are wrong, and humans are influencing the climate, not reducing CO2 levels and pollution will have a disastrous effect.
