I don't have any problem with conservationist or environmentalist in general, to me it's only common sense to not waste our limited resources or not try to limit unnecessary pollution.
I think that's why the whole global warming issue is such a pet peeve as it take focus off more important subjects.
This whole chicken little hysteria revolving around "global warming" to me is a farce.
Even the best projections of the alarmist puts the man-made portion of CO2 around 0.2%. This is less than their percentage of error the tempretures cited in their own predictions of global warming.
So if EVERY man-made source of C02 was stopped tomorrow, it would have less than 0.2% impact on the problem.

People need to keep this in perspective. The global warming theory ( that's what it is a theory ), is mostly based on mathematical models where they can't even backup many of their assumptions used in the model.
Even the UN IPCC Panel who is the biggest chicken hawk right now. List 12 causes of global warming, then later admits they have little scientific understanding of 6 of the 12 factors and only marginal understanding of another 4.
So we are suppose to go by their predictions when they admit, at best only understand 1/4 of the reason?
Don't forget right up to the mid 70's the overwhelming belief was we were heading into another mini ice-age.


As for the universe expanding that is 100% fact as proven by red shift.
This BTW is who the hubble telescope is named for.
The confusion comes from a difference of perspective.
GENERALLY speaking everything in the universe is moving a way from each other.
This is the basis for the big bang theory. It doesn't mean it's the only force acting on it.
The Milky Way And Andromeda galaxies are both Generally moving away from everything else but at the same time are on a collision course to take place in 3 billion years.
All a matter of perspective.
Same as you're sitting still as you read this but at the same time you are moving in at least 5 different vectors.
Spinning around on the earth axis
Rotating around the sun
The solar system is spinning inside the milky way galaxy
Our section of the milkway galaxy is spinning on an axis to it's center
While the whole time the galaxy is flying towards a collision with Andromeda in 3 billion years.
