Today I attended a conference for climate changes and impressed me a lot. Unless a very serious decisions of the reduction of CO2 emission won't be taken, we are risking to be globally warmed in the next decades.
Do you believe that these things are so important to worry about?
There are so many opinions (some scientists say that the situation is very dangerous, the other say that there are not proofs that the climate changes are not causes by human beings) and it's really difficult to decide whom to believe in.

I think we should be completely informed and not by one side or another. I am skeptical of those who use global warming simply as a tool to raise money or raise prices or raise taxes based on biased information. If you can find a copy of the August issue THINK magazine, you could read about some of the statistics of the Mt St Helens eruption and the magnitude of "greenhouse gases" it released---far more than humanity could produce if it was our aim to destroy the earth.
I am in favor of true scientific research, but too often it is biased.

Yes, but have you also heard that the oil companies and the big manufacturers, which are afraid of restrictions of CO2, are investing tens and hundreds of millions of USD in so called "contra-propaganda"? It means they flood huge sums of money into the mass media industry and corrupted science to produce opinions like these, which say that this global warming thing is not as important as it has been "bubbled up"?
I don't assert that the defenders of the truth of human intended global warming are right. No. I simply don't know.
Because it's impossible to know the truth - the only possibility is to believe or no to believe in one of these opinions. It's like about a religion, unfortunately. I think you'd agree that it impossible to verifie who is more right, except we are scientists by ourselves.

One quick question: do you have children?
I don't. And never want to.
So, I couldn't care less about global warming.
I have about 30-40 years to live, if I'm lucky.
If the Earth doesn;t explode during my life time, I don't care what happens next!!
