I do wish people would admit (Al Gore) that it is the human environment they care about, not the planet.

--

Is the planet warmer? Yes
Are humans having an effect on the planet? Yes
Will humans kill the planet? No
Will humans kill their environment? Most likely, that is what happens to parasites when they kill the host
Are humans the cause of global warming? No
Did global warming exist before humans? Yes, cyclical changes in temperature
Should we change everything we do for the planet? No
Is your day-to-day existence killing your environment? Probably not, a Volcanic eruption does far more damage than your entire city could do.
Does it feel good to think you're green? Yes
Does it really help the environment to be green? Depends on definition. Any effect is most likely very minimal.
Should you do what you can to aid in the human environment? Yes, where plausible.
Should you drastically change your existence? No
Will humans die off as a result of destroying their environment? Probably not, we'll kill ourselves with war long before that.
Will the planet exist after humans? Yes
