Does anyone else find this whole global warming debate a bit misguided? It's not the Earth that we should be worried about. It has been here for billions of years. The climate has and will always be changing, regardless of our involvement.

The Human Race is the one we should be worried about. We need to drop this biblical notion of mankind being dropped into a world ideally suited to our survival, which is only changing as a result of our behavior. The real question is how to adapt to the planet. I doubt that even the most dire predictions about global warming will have much effect on our ability to survive. At most, it may impact the number of humans the Earth can sustain.

We should instead be worried about actual threats to our survival. In that regard, we are our worst enemy. Man's quest for dominance over other men will kill more people than global warming ever could. But, I guess it is much easier to build a windmill or recycle a can than to look within ourselves to the root of the problem.

Oh, and we should probably worry about diseases too.
