I agree that our actions are creating pollution and screwing up the ecosystem due to extreme over-population, but I don't buy into the concept that it is changing the climate.
I believe solar flares have a gazillion times more influence on the climate than mankind ever will.

How come whenever politicians or "scientists" talk about man's effects on whatever, the subject of over-population seems to be taboo? It's almost not politically correct to say that there are just too darned many people alive, but it's true.
Things would be better if there were only about half as many people. Or a third.
