I don't see how it can be anything but a black and white issue. If you believe scientific data, climate change is real and the planet is in crisis mode, with all of humanity and animal life in danger. If you believe it is a hoax, then it should be of zero importance to you.
Which is why emerging economies will never go green unless green is cheaper. Naturally cheaper.
Technological advancements are the only solution.
I agree with this, and think we need to get to work on it.
As to the larger argument of climate change, I think human activity contributes to it. I also think it occurs naturally. We will never be able to halt it entirely, but is that a good reason to continue to trash the environment?

“It is not a bible, it is a scientific review, an assessment of the literature. Frankly both sides are seriously confused on how science works - the critics of the IPCC and the environmentalists who credit the IPCC as if it is the gospel."
Scientists were constantly revising their research to account for new data, he said.
Despite the uncertainties and contradictions, the IPCC insists that it is more confident than ever – 95 per cent certain - that global warming is mainly human’s fault.
Now that we have our President in office I think Climate Change is a good thing to keep the liberals busy. Like children, it's always good to keep them busy.
