Your views on Global Warming and other problems?

This is a 'companion' question to Astra L's below...

1) Why does the fossil fuel industry, the massive companies (every single one of them) that have the most to LOSE by agreeing with the scientifically supported human induced global warming theory, actually publicly agree with it, even while skeptics are still screaming that the theory is wrong?

2) Why do some people act as if their right to exist is forcibly being taken away from them if someone tries to show them how they can save money and help the environment by being more energy efficient?

3) Your views on the Book "Plan B" by Lester Brown (If you've read it)

4) Generally your views on Global Warming

Thanks

Update:

None of these answers have even attempted to answer the actual questions. I'll have to throw it over to a vote unless someone answers.

    Anthropogenic Global Warming is highly speculative. Nobody has any evidence to support it and the best proponents can produce in the way of physical evidence is to claim that their climate models (that are about as accurate as a ground hog) work better if they assign CO2 an arbitary global warming factor.

    You can believe in it if you want - but just saying it over and over isn't going to convince any skeptics.

    Have not read questioned book.

    There is a lot of Documentation that shows that the earth is gradually going through changes.No one can dispute those findings. And no one can dispute the fact that we need to make whatever changes possible to protect our planet.

    However,while it is obvious that some have been abusing the environment over the years, I'm still not sure that exact "cause and effect" hypothesis have been proven.

    Most of us who have been around awhile can notice subtle changes, if we take the time to really look. The sad thing is, most people move around like the Tasmanian Devil now,barley noticing anything, unless it interferes with life we they know it.( answering your second question).

    The ancient cultures lived at a much slower pace,they were much more in tune with their spirituality,their relationships, and their environment, including the heavens.

    This is the most logical theory that I have come across for the extreme climate changes in recent years.While I am not a student of the solar system, or it's movements, Many who are, say that there are changes going on with the solar system,and that these changes are causing adverse effects on our environment.

    In the year 2012 there are supposed to be 3 eclipses, and an alignment with the sun.

    Food for thought. The heavens move the ocean (tides) each and every day.

    In a recent discussion on television ,i was amazed to hear a lady panellist agreeing with my view on it.I think ( and now,at least one other ) that the only way to slow the pace of these effects is to severely deplete the human race,how this can be achieved is fairly obvious.I am now carefully watching for the signs of this being brought about by the faceless manipulators of the masses.The most probable method,which is sure to work,is to facilitate a holy war on a world wide scale,ensuring the maximum death rate.Already ,in Nigeria,the muslim and christian populace is engaged in killing each other off,the success of this episode is being monitored for effect.However one views this situation ,it is still part of a natural cycle in nature and nothing would alter this fact,but only interfere with its progression rate.
