I care deeply about global warming's effects not only because in destroying the natural systems of the planet we destroy ourselves but also because this planet is so precious and beautiful in and of itself and because of my grandchildren and their children and so on. My grandchildren are not able to enjoy the "quality of life" that I was able to enjoy as a child--open pure spaces in nature, ability to merge with nature and swim in its waters without being afraid of chemicals and poisons floating invisibly within it, being able to catch fish that are safe to eat and, not least, the ability to commune with Spirit in nature and get perspective outside of the strictly materialist human parameters. Nature -- pure, cherished and respected is crucial to developing the good in human consciousness. One piece of global warming that noone is recognizing or addressing is population. We need to start thinking about the disastrous effects of overpopulation, need more information and ideas about this so that people can CHOOSE VOLUNTARY population control, out of love for ourselves and all else, NOT government imposed control. People won't choose this if they're not educated.
