Of course, you first world consumers would never admit that Global Warming is real.
I consume very little as I'm an austere person, I mostly buy books and avoid spending on anything I don't really need. My opinion on GW is not based on that.
Just out of curiosity - based on what do you feel you can make such a decisive statement and why do you think it's true? That is to say, why should anyone take that statement seriously, coming from you? I am not denying you the right to an opinion on the matter, just asking why you believe that statement up there carries more validity than say Sarah Palin's opinion on quantum physics?
Oh no one has to believe my statement, it's just an opinion based on an examination of who propagates this theory and for which reason. If there was solid evidence that suggested that the theory was true, I'd change my mind. However, I've found no solid explanation for the fact that the earth hasn't warmed since 1998.
In any case, it's not anymore ridiculous than those who claim that 99% of scientists support this theory, which is a lie.
