Oil consumption is one: outdated diesel trains, high octane burning jetliners, large personal vehicles, heavy land development equipment, energy plants, refineries, and cargo transportation.
Others are: large methane producing beef farms/dairies that do not harvest and prevent enough of the gasses from leaving the farm. Only a few farms deploy this type of containment, are we willing to pay more for dairy and beef to protect our environment so they can invest in such containment systems? I think so.
Did you know the populations of bark beetles have increased from 1.1 million in 2005 to almost 5 million in 2006 in Colorado!? (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20061208/sc_afp/usenvironmentbeetles ) I hate seeing Big Bear, in my area, suffer because it is not getting cold enough to kill them. Trees are dying; oxygen producing forests are becoming extinct, why? In my opinion it's Global Warming. It's affecting everything and I believe it is all of our concern.
What’s your opinion?

Did you know global warming hits harder where the air is cold and dry? Where you might see a small temperature increase in a tropical environment; a colder climate will see around triple that.
So everyone's favorite, penguin roaming, polar ice caps will heat up and melt and our beautiful, snowboard riding, white covered mountains will recede and disappear. To all of you snowboarders out there, consider what you are losing if people are not active enough about climate changing factors.
