I am reasonably skeptical regarding man-made global warming. In general I feel that not giving off as much pollution is good thing in either case. Certainly, I advocate environmentalism but not so much environmental hypocrites such a Al Gore.
But more than the environmental impact of global warming there is the social impact. Weather is no long a 'safe' topic of conversation. I will see someone I want to make small talk with and say "Warm weather we're having this year" and before I know it I have provoked a huge debate with issues ranging from Middle East foreign policy to the rights and responsibilities of the government regarding to regulation of large cooperations.
I really need a new 'safe topic' there is no need to get into a heated debate with everyone I come across. Lately, I have been asking people about what they ate last. In the United States at least (but certainly not in the Middle East) I think food is still a safe subject.
