Isn't our duty anyway as human beings to limit what waste we produce?

Of course!
While I think the whole "Global Warming" movement is a politically-inspired propaganda movement, there are two issues here.
One, a thing I'd prefer calling "Climate Change" does exist. The earth regularly and routinely changes temperature hotter or colder and we need to be prepared for either a warm cycle or a new ice age....or millions will be affected. BTW, nothing humans do will change or effect these temperature shifts....it's a perfectly natural process.
Two, no matter who you are, as a resident of this planet you have a sacred obligation to be a good steward of it. It's not "Yours", you are just taking care of it for a little while. There is an obligation to use it's resources and wealth as little as you can and to protect what we can for future generations.

Renewable energy is not just for those who are concerned about global warming. It can also be for those who want a better residential investment
The key to bringing renewable energy to suburban America is to communicate the concept of how progressive technology combined with innovative architectural design can provide a lower monthly cost of ownership. For example, most people finance their home through a mortgage. If you design a house that will reduce your monthly utility bills by $150 while only increasing your monthly mortgage payment by $50 dollars, you will save money from the day you move in, although your home actually costs more. It’s all about combining the best design practices with sound financial strategies. Check out zeroenergy.com

I believe that global warming is a bunch of b.s. Because if you think about it, the earth can NOT stay the exact same temperature through eternity, it is constantly moving closer and further away from the sun all the time. It seems to me like it is just one of earth's cycles, and humans have no control over it.

Yes Global Warming is true. No, we can't reverse it. Yes, we definitely should be more ecologically minded because even if global warming isn't a crisis we can fix, there are a lot of others that we can. We should be taking better care of our water resources for one.

I wouldn't exactly call it a duty, but it is a good idea.
