Sure, I've been hearing all this ^&%%$# about the Greenhouse Effect for years. In the meantime, population continues to grow out of control - I have no children, and plan on one child and adoption. In the meantime, people continue to get sick, which I have to pay for, from eating too much meat - I have been flexitarian since May, 1992.

In the meantime, we waste electricity cooling our home - I installed UV reflective/wind protection coating to my windows.

What are we doing about it?

People are doing thing about it every day including home upgrades. If you don't believe in global warming that is fine here is a fact Poulition kills people! 62 million a year, so even if you don't care about global warming at least care about the child in toxic texas recieving kemo or the kids in the nigerian delata enjoying the toxic waste in their water thanks to shell. BTW your tax dollars are going to the health care of kids with cancer caused and other poulition related health issues caused by a poulting company upstream and wind of them, Just another way we subidize big pouliters. As far as the earth being overpopulated you can fit every single human into the state of texa and each perosn would have 30 feet. Be happy we have enviro nuts a side effect of their envirmental-whacoisum is most of our won't look like the nigerian delta and they not only save the earth but lives http://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/news/oil-industry-has-brought-poverty-and-pollution-to-niger-delta-20090630

We are doing our bit here in Australia. We built and live in a Mud Brick House, use rain water only, powered and heated by the sun, more people should take note and live this way.

Thannxxx. it all starts with us at the end of the day.. we can switch off lights, flush the toilet after using it so many times... wear ones jeans two or three time instead of washing them after one wash etc... we definitely need to look for more technology that can be implemented at home
