It was a obvious hyperbole on my part, but yes, there are a few hysterics out there claiming we are 'killing' the Earth. Now, I'm not completely cynical when it comes to energy and pollution, I think we have nothing to lose from finding alternate sources of energy, and pollution is a terrible thing, but by no means is the planet 'dying'. And yes, if what we're experiencing now is going to kill us all, and plunge us into an ice age, I don't think lying to us and telling us we're responsible for it, is the way to fix the supposed problem. Do you?

Also, some comic relief from non-other than George Carlin;
