Why can't we all just get along?

I think it is interesting the the earth was once covered by magma and the temperature was very hot. It is substantially cooler and over the next million years will get much cooler not hotter. If we have global warming, then it is just a forstalling of the inevitable freeze. Further, all of human activity only account for 3.5% of the CO2, and water vapor is a greater contributer to the greenhouse effect then CO2. We don't know that the earth is truly warming due to any contributing factors or if it is just a cycle the earth goes through. We don't know that other contributing factors such as sun's output and or increase in water vapor haven't caused global warming (if it even truly exists). We don't know whether our output of 3.5% of the total CO2 in the atmosphere would cause any notable difference. But I agree with DemirB. We know we have overpopulation. We know we will have a shortage of resources. We know our landfills are filling up. We know that we will run out of oil. Lets fix the problems we know about. Global warming is debatable, us eventually running out of oil is not. The sea rising and swallowing up the east coast is debatable, overpopulation is not. The most interesting thing is that if we worked on stopping overpopulation, using alternative energy sources and lessening our waste, then we would be lessening our impact on the Earth and we wouldn't have to worry about "global warming" because we would already be doing what we could to limit our impact.
