You guys are all crazy. Global warming, global cooling; natural occurrence, artificially induced; government conspiracy or undeniable truth; all of this distills into a single question: what can we do to save our planet? And the answer is:
Nothing. It's not ours. It's a planet. Stop being so arrogant. This place was here long before us, it'll be here long after we're gone. The earth will shrug us off, eventually, like the temporary weed/pest that we are. Save the planet. What everyone means by that is "save the humans current wasteful existence". Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
...
I realize I may have undermined my position slightly by quoting "The Princess Bride" there at the end, but being venomous and nihilistic is hard.
