10. The environmental researchers and scientists I know...
...and work with say the same thing. Sure, global warming will happen anyway. It's partially a natural process. What ISN'T natural is the rate at which is is occurring. Man's activity has accellerated the process immensely and dangerously. The ONLY way to slow it back down (we can't prevent it now, or even slow it back down to its 'natural' normal pace even) is to STOP polluting (and breeding). That will slow the rate, but it won't prevent it. Nothing would prevent it but it would proceed at a more normal, natural pace without man's activity accellerating it at frightenly dangerous speeds.

But we won't stop. People - this race - too stupid - and the governments and money-makers will not give up their profit - not even to save the world. So, here we sit, and will continue to sit, sawing off the very limb upon which this race is perched - and now sawing it off at a much faster pace than ever before - and a much faster pace than would have ever happened by nature alone (without our polluting and other activities here).

May as well stick a fork in us. We're done.
