It IS a moral argument to fix it for those that come after us. Sure the planet doesn't care but every living thing on the planet cares apart from the bone head skeptics and those that couldn't care about others that come after us.
1. yes, has to be done anyway.
2. it might be warmer on one side and colder on the other hence climate change not warming. but once the sea levels rise, a lot of the major important global cities could be under water as they are usually next rivers so it will cause havoc.
the question isn't hard, its getting the bone heads to understand the implication of not doing anything
"Might as well enjoy life and not sweat the (relatively) small stuff." - that attitude is the problem, don't care, won't care. i hope someone cares enough about you to piss on you if you are on fire.
Pretty much the same was said about the US when they refused to be part of the Kyoto agreement because of their high dependence on burning fossil fuel and the fossil fuel lobby being so strong. Just because someone else is a shit, doesn't mean you have to be as well.
i think i'd rather go here for analysis of data http://nipccreport.org/ as its collated data from thousands of reports by thousands of scientists rather than someones blog.
"Because the problem is orders of magnitude larger than us." - that is still no excuse not to be a leader. The US economy is huge so it can say to other countries "if you don't clean up your act with the way you produce goods, we won't buy them"
people have and people do. its mostly twats that say doing "a little" is pointless so they aren't going to bother. e.g. cutting back on waste for landfills is a "little" thing. loads of "little" seemingly inconsequential things add up to make a big impact but loads of people are too short sighted to see that.
But you do get a "lot less bad though". Compare open source to closed source and compare the problems and the number of those problems. Close source security problems lead the way by a long margin.
No system is perfect but open source is closer to that ideal than closed source.

Sounds like you are using any excuse not to do anything about it and you'll fiddle while Rome burns

they are pretty much the same people
you should have said that out loud to yourself (but quietly so no-one else could hear you) instead of typing it

you lack of morality and over-inflated self importance is misguided
my sig says it all

please hurry....
because positive effects in one area can cause negative effects in another - look further that your own back yard

believe someones opinion on a blog of dubious quality?
it won't kill you but what about your grandchildren? what sort of world is your ignorance leaving them?
"Because the problem is orders of magnitude larger than us." - that is still no excuse not to be a leader. The US economy is huge so it can say to other countries "if you don't clean up your act with the way you produce goods, we won't buy them"
all the more reason to start now for the benefit of those that come after us.
"No one can predict the future." - is that a convenient excuse for doing nothing?

maybe they are using solar or renewable energy to run their electrics
no waste if you eat the bottle.
