Whether it's real or not real, man's fault or natural, I think the biggest problem with the whole thing is that people aren't all stupid -- we could see the big corporations immediately seizing on climate change to make millions off us with their "environmentally friendly" bullshit, and that just triggered the cynic response. It's a damn shame, since there are plenty of things we can and should do to reduce our impact on the world (whether we can stop climate change is irrelevant at this point, we shouldn't be doing our best to accelerate the process). It's a million different kinds of wrong to take financial advantage of people's desire to make a positive difference.

It could be worse
