=== "I agree with you that mankind can abuse the environment, but I also agree with those scientists who disagree with Gore's assertion that humans are capable of raising the earth's temp to a destructive level." ===

One way of doing serious harm to our environment is to damage the photosynthesis process of the world through massive destruction of green plants, forests, etc.

I don't know at what point there will not be enough greenery to convert the world's carbon dioxide to oxygen, but there is no doubt in my mind, witnessing the current levels of destruction and pollution, that we are heading for catastrophic changes to the health and well being of all living creatures.

Mental illness, lung disease and heart disease are all increasing at an alarming rate. We are heading for an era where, more and more, the civilized, of this planet, will have to defend themselves from the mentally insane barbarians.

I also attribute the widespread appeal of Obama to the dumbing down of our society, not just because of our schools, but because of mental damage caused by the pollution in our foods, air and water.
