No, I am not worrying too much about global warming. It is occurring naturally (most likely source is the sun). The rest of the post is the baloney. Here is one example: We are finding more oil all the time domestically that would greatly reduce the need for foreign oil. Another example: right now there are many more people on the face of the earth than was at one time expected to be able to be able to survive. That is because of technology.

We have not had the ability to measure biodiversity for long enough to be able to come to any conclusion like this.
