Am I aware?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Yep, been aware since Uni days back in the 80's.
What will I do?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Continue to reduce consumption of non renewables, reuse and recycle where possible, keep offsetting our emissions. Been carbon neutral for a while, went carbon negative in a big way last year, enough to offset our emissions 100 times over.
My job is related to global warming and through that I've produced material to help individuals, organisations and governments to reduce their emissions.
Renovating a farm in Scotland which has become something of an open project with people visiting to get ideas how they can improve and renovate their homes in an environmentally friendly way.
Going to Africa soon to plant more forests. It has great benefits for the local people, once they're shown what to do they're very enthusiastic and take great pride in their achievements.

My girlfriend and I are doing the following: taking shorter (and cooler) showers; turning down the temperature on our water heater; unplugging certain plugs that use electricity; religiously shutting off lights; being in the same room at the same time; switching to low energy lightbulbs; driving less (recreationally); when we do drive, bunching up our errands so that our driving is more efficient; using our most fuel efficient car six days each week; recycling like crazy; buying plants, planting trees; being vegetarian; washing clothes only with cold water, and only full loads; trying to educate the young people in our circle to do more; we also signed up for Flex Alert. Oh, and we're saving a ton of money! Our water, fuel and electric bills have all dropped significantly.

No, in fact the most recent news report said that the GW scientists finally located a major flaw in their prediction machines and programs, after suppressing those who said things were not right, so we have a 5-10 year relief period now. Breathe easier, but remember the politicians who want to control you will find something new!
I personally plan to continue to call for moderation, for divorcing the unholy alliance between science and religion and politics and Big Business that is pushing the idea of Global Warming as being bad and evil and millions will die from it, etc.
I want people to know that History proves global warming periods were times of plenty, prosperity, and advances in science and art, and I will say we should be welcoming the chance for plenty of food, plenty of room, times for the development of arts and sciences both...very good times, if we take them.
Mr. Gore makes his money off you folks who believe in him and his made-up tales of gloom and doom, because then HE can get rich selling Carbon Credits and giving speeches and concerts and riding around in big cars and airplanes while preaching that we should be cutting back, and crawling into our little caves for fear of waves.

Nothing. I and everyone else will be dead before anything serious changes. There is nothing that can seriously alter it anyway, so just live life and have fun. Go cars. Hooray for factories. All hail China. Mother Nature and God are going down. Welcome to Waterworld. Muhahahaha.
