I wish I had the time to respond to all of you, but I don’t have internet at work and it’s time to go watch the sunset and stuff 
I do want to say a couple of things. First, The Mayan calendar thing was tongue in cheek. I just picked them as my doomsday people of choice. Second, I never said I think global warming is a complete fraud.
I’ve been told the world is going to end since I was a kid. In grade school, they warned us that the sun would die out before we were adults. In middle school, I was told that Long Island was sinking at the rate of an inch per year and it would be under water before I was old enough to buy a house here. Eventually, the rest of the country would sink into the ocean as well. When I was in high school, it was a doomsday via aligning planets. And there was the nuclear energy scare, Russians, being overrun by our own garbage, meteors, tidal waves, god’s wrath, the rise of the animals, plagues, etc. It seemed like every year they were giving us something else to panic about, another way the world was going to end while we were still in it.
I live my life day to day. I have enough worry going on with a mortgage and two teenage kids that I really don’t want the burden of worrying about the air my great great great great great offspring will breathe. Selfish, I know.
As for the rest of you, I am certainly getting an education through your comments. Thank you.
