I find it amazing that a few scientists disbelieve that man has had an effect on our environment (and a negative one at that), yet 99% believe, given the scientific facts at hand, that we are responsible. And people flock to the vast minority. It'll be interesting in 100 years time when we've scewed up the planet so badly that it's irreversible. We'll still probably have people saying it's not our fault ;-)
Man is not a responsible species. We breed without thought, we consume natural resources, and we indiscriminately destroy other species so that we can continue to expand. Hell, we're having several nations consider mining the North Pole so that they can get some more precious oil! We just don't learn.
This "it can't be us" approach, or "let's wait and see" is what continuously gets us into trouble. We don't learn, and we keep making the same mistakes, only realising them after the event when it's too late.
