I thought about it again and to be honest: So what?
Polar ice melts and raises sea levels, so what? Its not worth any regulations on industries and higher taxes. Coastal areas will be under water? So what? People will slowly move away. It isn't like it is going to happen overnight and everyone will drown (what Al Gore would have you believe haha). The amount of efforts required to reduce emissions is not worth it. And the argument about "saving the polar bears" is just nonsense. Again, species of Polar Bears is not worth strict regulations are higher taxes. And precisely for that reason there will never be a "solution" for this "Global Warming". The consequences of not doing anything are not worth avoiding. We'll adapt.
At the same time, there are more important and urgent problems such as pollutions in rivers. Now that directly effects the population living in poor countries. People die TODAY because of that and that is something to be concerned about.
And secondly if the emissions are affecting the air quality, then that is a concern.

But Global Warming? Who cares?
