Many people argue that, even if global warming/climate change is not our fault, or even actually occurring, that taking measures (conservation, recycling, reducing pollution etc.) to stop it can't hurt and will help.
Then there's this article:
Did this gentleman perhaps research what things were like during the industrial revolution? I certainly don't want to live near a city that tries to maximize the crap they pour into the atmosphere.
Here's a good comment from the page:
I like how the comments degenerate into a debate on whether or no the planet is older than 10,000 years. I <3 Freepers!
Then there's this article:
Instead of reducing CO2, we should, perhaps, be increasing it. We should pay the smokestack industries hard dollars for every kilogram of soot they pump into the atmosphere. Instead of urging Chinese to stop using coal and turn instead to nuclear-generated electricity, we should beg them to continue using coal. Rather than bringing us to the edge of global-warming catastrophe, anthropogenic climate change may have spared us descent into what would be the most serious and far-reaching challenge facing humankind in the 21st century - dealing with a rapidly deteriorating climate that wants to plunge us into an ice age. Let's hope Antarctica and Greenland melt. Let's hope the sea levels rise.

I don't believe in a 2 to 3 million or older earth but this guy makes sense about global climate change. Can't say the same for those who claim we are heading into doomsday from global warming.
