then why are we acting in our own self interest (which will inevitably lead to our extinction) and not the interest of the long term sustainability of earth's resources?
not true. phytoplankton + seaweeds create more then 50% of the total oxygen in the atmosphere so i highly doubt oxygen is going to be the problem when it comes to global warming
climate change is the more aptly named phenomenon, where it gets really hot and evaporates more water during the summer, which creates longer, colder, winters not to mention a huge increase in snow/rain storms in some areas (which is what has been experienced in the past few years especially)
i don't think global warming is a real thing. it's just liberals pushing their agenda on to others so they can tax people and stop them believing in god who is the best
