with cell phones, for example. In Africa there are *wars* for tantalium mines (uh, don't expect to see it on the news), which is needed for small capacitors used in cell phones. going to the toilet, for example. Every time you flush the toilet you waste 5 liters of water (there are dry toilets, you know) while increasingly many are dying of thirst (not hunger, thirst). These are just two examples off the top of my head. It's just to point out that it's such a complex topic (how our lives DO influence [heavily] our ecosystem) that it's just plain silly to make fun of the whole thing like you're doing. As was pointed out, petrol shortage *is* the most important problem right now, and the only aspect discussed of this is when will it end, 5,10,30 years? What does it matter? The fact is it will end, and it will have immense consequences. Petrol is in our lives in such a degree that most of us can't comprehend. And petrol shortage is not a separate problem from climate. What other deep-impact way of exploiting nature's resources (and exploiting us) will multinationals find? They can make little money out of sun wind and tides, you know. Certainly they have a [detailed] agenda. BTW if you are ready to accept the horrible state of things, there are many many things you can do. At best you'll be cynic and do nothing of it, allright, OTOH I accept this and try to change something - in my life first.
