The planet is a very healthy system and we can go about our business as normal.

See I don't think it's that simple
Of course I'm concerned with all of those things. I live no this planet now, don't plan on leaving soon, and have two kids. I'm not looking to roll back the clock to 1960's factory pollution, etc.
But there is debate, whether you choose to ignore or marginalize it or not, on every single thing you mentioned up above.
Some of the things, like this recent NASA rework, could have very serious implications to the rising temperature element of the argument, which is a big player on that side of the fence.
So no ... I don't think it's that simple.
I do hope that we continue to get more effecient, develop alternate fuels, waste less, take care of animal habitats, and all the while I'm also hoping that these global wamring fears were just that and really we're in a long term trend.
Either way, the Science just isn't in, not when one of the key speakers of said science has now admitted key mistakes and then run around the media acting like a child. Doesn't give me a secure feeling on the science at all.
Just suggesting some pause here that's it ... not trying to defend big business or pollution.
