Since climate change is a natural occurrence (the climate cannot be static) there is nothing to be concerned about.
Climate change is as natural as a summer rain.

No, there are more important issues the Government should be concentrating on. Not something we don't have an effect on.
People let's think about this rationally.
1st) The ratio of poor people in the world versus rich people.
If you did you would realize the poor out number the rich by a large number.
Then think about how poor people live versus rich people.
If you did you'd realize that the poor automatically are energy conscious, since they can't afford to live in extravagant houses like rich people do. And most of them, walk, bike or ride public transportation to or from work.
I also feel you all need to realize that factories have been changing how they do things, since at least the 70's. When stringent laws about pollution was put into place. That's why people are complaining about China not having to follow the new standards. Don't you think it's cheaper to build a factory in a way that produces less pollution into the air than it is to correct it after the fact?
My plea is that people do the right thing, not because they believe GW is caused by humans, but because it's harmful to human life to breath toxic air.

Man made Global warming is a Religion you have to have a lot of faith to believe in that crap. Wasn't it global cooling 20 years ago? GLOBAL WARMING IS HUMANITIES GREATEST LIE!!!
Most of the socalled scientest that signed the UN report, did not agree that man made global warming is real, but there names were added anyway. This includes the Chairman of the IAEA. Global warming is an industry. say you support it and get funding say you dont NO funding go figure

I do beleive in climate change. It could be something natural or man-made. I read somewhere (I can't remember where, sorry.) that there is an extreme amount of CO2 in the air that is rising in numbers every year. Well, I don't know about you but there isn't a large amount of volcanos spewing gases and ash in the air but there is about a billion cars running on fossil fuels.

There are two possibilities, global warming is due to human greenhouse gas emissions, or it's not. Within each of those, there are two scenarios, we try to reduce our emissions or we do not. Let's look at each scenario in turn.
Remember that we don't know for sure about global warming. Chances are it's true, but we can't be sure.
GW is real + we do nothing about it. Outcome: we're done for. We will cause considerable suffering. Worst possibility out.
GW is real + we do something: Outcome: acceptable provided we act now. In the process we will also be learning how to use our finite resources. Not a bad outcome.
GW is untrue + we do nothing. No change. Nothing lost, nothing gained.
GW is untrue + we act on it anyway. Outcome: we learn how to maximise the use of our finite fossil fuel resources (which could run out in a generation or two); we learn to become more efficient users of energy; we develop renewable energy resources. Nothing lost, heaps gained.
So you see, our choices are:
1. Do nothing, in which case we put ourselves at risk (should GW be true, which is a possibility).
2. Act on it, in which case we are no longer at risk, and get heaps of benefits in the process even if GW isn't a real problem.
The real reason that people oppose doing anything about GW is either vested interests or sheer arrogance. Don't listen to such people. Even if we don't reduce our emissions for GW reasons, we still need to do it to conserve our resources for future generations.

I don't care. The Earth goes through cycles of climate change, it's natural and the Earth is mighty. I wasn't that long ago when we were going to be destroyed by the upcoming ice age. Where are those scientist now.

Just because I don't want to participate in UN extortion doesn't mean I don't care about the environment.
