    It is a carbon problem --

    The impact on our environment is definitely a carbon problem -- too many carbon-based life forms on the planet.

    If humans are accelerating or effecting climate change, the only thing that will fix it is to remove a couple of billion of them from the ecosystem.

    Which is going to be a big embarassment later to someone when this whole thing turns out to be caused by sunspots. But hey, Al Gore made a movie about it, so it must be true, and we should get to work on our Carbon Reclamation Camps soon.
